Hi,
I bought a stock 2000 Classic XJ a few months ago and it came with Firestone Wildnerness AT 255/70/16 tires. This weekend I pierced the sidewall with rebar that happened to be sticking out of the ground in the mountains. I'm probably gonna just replace the remaining 3 since I can't find a used Wilderness AT fire the life of me to replace the ruined one.
The tires are decent but rub just a bit on the rear fenders when I have a bunch of weight in the back. I'm thinking about getting the same size Dunlops Rover RVXT, Yokohama Geolander AT+11, or Pirelli Scorpion A/T. But I'm afraid that with a new tire it might rub more and even cause a little damage. Should I get 235/70/16 instead or do you think I'll be okay with the 255's?
