Default Bf goodrich all terrain T/A on stock cherokee?

Hi all,

I have a 2000 cherokee and would like to put on some BF Goodrich T/A all terrains 235/75/15 - anyone have them on without a lift? will they rub if I dont get a lift?

If you have pics even better!

Thanks,

David

I ran 235/75/15 goodyear wranglers for quite some time prior to lifting my Jeep. They worked great and I didn't get any rubbing at all, even under full lock while turning. I have also heard of many folks running this tire size with the BFG AT with no issues. Go for it!

I've got some Goodyear Wranglers in the same size on mine. It's below stock height due to sagged springs and no rubbing. Shouldn't be any different fitting BFG's instead of Goodyears. I say go ahead and lift it and get some bigger rubber if you are needing to buy tires anyway. Good luck.

I have 235-75 R15 BFG All Terrain KO,s on my 2001 and they don't rub at all, even with the sagged rear springs with 175k miles on them. They don't even rub with my sled trailer on the back with two sleds on it.

No drag from mine. I would recommend getting the LT235/75/15.
