I have the opportunity to get 5 brand new Rubi rims/tires. See after the pics for my questions please
I have a Sahara with the following stock tires...
Dueler A/T RH-S - Size: 255/70R18
This is the tire that comes on the Rubicon.
Here they are together.
My questions are this...
Price - These are brand new Rubi rims/tires with the little nubby things still on. $1800 for the set - $600 credit for my rims and tires = $1200 plus tax. Does this sound like a good deal?
He stated that the difference in tire size will not rub the fenders when off road. He said it was negligible and they should not rub during axle articulation. True?
He said the tire noise will not be any louder than what is on there now. True? I find that hard to believe but I don't think they would be seriously louder.
He said that the tire on the Rubi has been seen to get 80k miles with proper 5 tire rotation. He said he'd be really upset if this tire got anything less than 60k. True?
Will it look funny having a bigger tire without lifting it? I may do a very small lift in the future but not sure yet.
