Been researching this wheel tire thing for months. Finally made a decision and had the wheels/tires put on a few days ago.
Went with 285/70R/17 Nitto Ridge Grappler TNI0217710 and the Mopar 77072472AB Gladiator Silver Wheel.
First few observations, The wheels/tires do weigh more than stock so did notice a slight lose in pick up and breaking. Small but noticeable. The tire is very quiet and on level with the stock tire. I made it up to 70 mph and noticed a slight hum but the wind noise on a soft top is really what you hear. My wife said she could not tell any difference. So with a pretty aggressive tread, it is quiet. The air pressure is 36psi cold and the ride is stiffer. I am going to 32psi to see if that softens the ride. No rubbing but have not tried any off road stuff. The tires stick outside the fenders about an 1.5". The reverse camera does pick up part of the wheel. There is a small ring, part of the wheel, at the bottom of the view screen. The stock tailgate bumpers do not make contact now and about a 1/2" short. I ordered the JK bumpers and will cut them down some.
Just let the dealer handle everything. They did the V41 steering damper recall. My steering has been great and there is no change after replacing the steering damper. They had a tire sale and I bought 4 tires at $220 and the 5th tire was $1. The wheels were $220. Did the 4 wheel alignment and reprogram. The dealer did a great job and even brought the old tires/wheels to my house so I did not have to put them in my Pilot. These guys are first class!
