What’s up guys.
Phill from Moran, WY here.
I’ve had a 2012 CM Rock Warrior for the last 5 years.
Been running 295/70r17s Mickey Thompson Baja ATZp3 on the Rock Warrior TRD wheels. Love them and they grip the snow, ice and mud we get out here very well.
I need new rubber and want to step up in size to 315/70r17s namely MT Baja Boss, MTZ or the ATZ. I like deep treads and aggressive patterns.
I’m running Bilstein 6112 at 2.5 inches in the front and 5160s in rear with onboard air/bags.
Aftermarket bumper so not worried about rubbing plastic
Aftermarket skid plate that won’t be an issue regarding rubbing
My main concern is rubbing on the stock UCA.
And the Body mount which I would prefer to leave intact.
I know you can run BFG KO2 in 315/70r17 and 35/12.5r17 with minor modifications.
Seems like the 315/70r17 Mickey Thompson BajaBoss and MT are built on the same carcass as they both come in at 12.6 inches wide...and 34.6 tall...
Which is less than the listed 12.7 width for the BFG KO2 in 315/70r17.
anyone have any experience running other brands of AT or MT tires in a 315/70 or 35/12.5 on the RW wheels? Coopers? Toyo?
thanks for reading
Cheers
