Running a stock 98 ZJ Limited 5.9, no lift. I've read all sorts of tire threads and still a bit confused as people seem to side track..so here is my situation.

Primary driving will be road during the winter and for hunting and fishing. No major off roading, but will be on two tracks that often turn into shallow mud holes (talking inches deep, not in feet)

The tires that are on now are 245/75's. They ride nice but today when I was greasing the front end I saw the inside of the tires were rubbed white...I've only had the 9er for a week and this wear has been from the PO. So are 245-75's the wrong tire for this stock set up or should I opt for a 234-75, 235-70-16? The original stock size look small, I don't have any intention of lifting in the near future.

IDK about your 9er, but I had 225/75R15s on my 97 4.0 and never had any rubbing. I was using Wintermark tires from Canada. They had Firestone bias ply snow tread pattern on a radial core. They were a very open deep lug design and worked in snow and mud very well. When I couldn't get them anymore, I went to General Grabber AT2s
