That sucks, guess I got lucky lol.


As for sizing, these are retreads, so they will be slightly taller than a normal tire in a comparable size. Not much, but slightly.
i.e 31x10.5x15 Treadwright Warden At will be slightly taller than a 31x10.5x15 BFG At even though they are the same pattern and such.

Shouldn't have much issue. Trimmings always an option.

Timming is only a good idea if you have flares to match and I got a wj so no flares so no trimming

There 255/75/17 and they run a tad big so I had to trim. Clearance is tight but after the trim there fine.
