decisions decisions

alright i got the original 265 wranglers, and they are done. im surprised they actually still ride as decent as they do the treads got maybe 1-2/16 left. and im getting into offroading. climbed ossipee mountain the other day . definately tested the articulation of the suspension on that.

i wanted a slightly bigger tire, so i was goin with the 285/70 bfg all terrains. but they are on back order for about two months im told. is any one else having that issue?. so the next thing is, where the offroading im doing is alot suspension traveling. would it be a better idea to stick with 265/70 which i can get on tirerack right now? or will the 285's not rub even at full compression. if not where can i get these damned things, even tire rack is saying the end of the month. and im sure i got 2,000 people in front of me for those. OH and anyone with 265 bfg all terrains got pics, wanna compare to 285's see if its worth the wait and money.
thanks alot

NO they wont rub on a 4X4 at all, you will definately be happy with the new look, the difference is huge, i ran them for a while before i lifted my truck...theyre on back order that bad? really..hmm what about driving to the next state or prov...Or ordering them online..

I'd go with the 285's. Have you considered Nitto Terra Grapplers or Toyo Open Country AT's?

I like the nitto's alot but i can't find them in 17's.I have the heritage package wheels. and not to many companies make their a/t's in 17's. the toyo's are more money then the bfg's. I'm thinkin i might just have to go with the 265's. cuz i can get those mounted/balanced for 170 ea. keep the suggestions comin though.
