That's a lot of tire there. Should do real good at reducing the efficiency
of the stock brakes, loading the viscous coupler going off road, putting
extra load on the transmission and engine. Don't try this on the 2 wheel
drives especially with the lower springs.

I love my 225/70/16 BFG TA's on MEFRO (Vancafe) steel rims.
I can't think of a better option.
