16" tire for the rubicon. Suggestions?

As mentioned, switch to a 15 inch wheel and run 33x10.50r15's in either the BFG A/T or KM2.

BFG AT vs Duratrac I'd go Duratrac.

265/75-16 is roughly analogous to a 32x10.5x16.

awesome, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check'em out.

Yeah, a couple XJ guys in my club just ran it with a mix of MT/R's, older bfg AT's, and the newer KM2's and because there was still some slush on the trail, the MT/R's did awesome according to his trip report.

What kind of mileage (tread wear) you getting, or expecting out of them?

Sorry I missed that post. I'm at about 40k on them and going strong still. That's with abusing them pretty hard when I first got them. And I run a fairly thin tire also compared to a lot of guys out there. I'm at 255/75/17

The KM2 is an impressive tire, but I think the MTR might be a bit better in snow. Brian, I had KM2's on my LJ for 20,000 miles with LOTS of really hard trail use, and the lugs looked new. My buddy runs them on his daily driver 4runner and gets about 50k miles per set (on his third set now). They stick like glue in the rocks, hold a bead well, and ride smooth and balance extremely well for such an Agressive tire.

I'm currently driving a 94 4Runner that I've put only about 1200 miles on this month, and it's running BFG AT's. I think they are way too stiff. I'm sure they are bulletproof, but I far prefer the ride of the KM2!

Thanks, Nathan. I think it might come down to the MT/R, the KM2, and possibly something like a Hancook, but I'm going to do some more research on those.

My trip wouldn't be till the fall, schedule permitting or possibly as late as next spring when the next, next trip is planned, so these tires need to be absolutely good to go at that point, if need be.
