Those are nice, but way too heavy for the Patriot in my opinion

not an issue as they have quit making them in that size. you could get them for a 16" rim that would fit the patriot, but not a 17"

Jdog · Feb 13, 2013

weird cause it's still on their website

but if they're really that heavy then I won't be interested.

Hmmmm...,. Tire rack and discount tire both told me unavailable.... That's why I got the tires I did. But I'm glad I got my tires, have been excellent off road and made me look better than I really am.

Try Discount Tire Direct...they have a ton of tires that my local stores don't have.

For the weight, the BFG is almost 42 lbs, the stock Goodyears are 28 lbs, so use that for what its worth. Maybe it is too heavy, maybe it isn't. The Yoko's I got are 31 lbs each

I wonder how heavy my rocky mountains are...

235/65/17 is the best with RRO lift just get 1.25" spacers!

RossoRacer · Feb 14, 2013

Those BFG's do look pretty sweet, but I've decided on Goodyear(just need to find the right rims). Maybe it has something to do with my being a NASCAR fan, but those Goodyears aic posted the links for look pretty good off-road

Good luck price ways then man!

The silent armors aren't bad, maybe $175/tire. I'm looking at Centerline rims, but having trouble settling on a style. It's so difficult......

Hankook Dynapro ATM....best choice/perfect setup...

Check out Duece's setup in NY. He doesn't have the RRO lift yet tho.

Read a bunch of good things about these tires, so I got the same Hankooks after my RRO lift...but I went bigger to 245/65-17's....need 1.5" wheelspacers to fit with stock rims tho.

Will get pictures, when I can...

X2 on the hankook's

I have the RRO kit installed with Hankook Dynapro AT/M 235/65/17 tires on my stock rims and they kickass. I did not need to put on spacers but I do have slight rubbing at full lock. The preform nicely in the snow, mud, and over rocks!

Jdog · Feb 27, 2013

anyone tried these? they have a 245 width. Should fit w/spacers

I like those but the sizes and prices kinda sucked. A whole back I was looking a Toyo tire but it was more expensive than what I'm looking at now haha

For the price in 245/65-17, I don't think these can be beat:

$167? Man I'm a cheap ass then of that's cheap cause I'm looking at 225/75/16 Dynapro ATM's and theyve gone up to $116 or so each and I'm hating that! Lol
