Need To Know Which Tires By 4PM Tomorrow!

Hey guys... since I won't be able to install my 2.5" BB this week because I don't have any shocks yet I will have to get tires that fit now but will look good after the lift. I'm making a trip to Idaho Falls over New Years and I will not make another road trip on bald front tires especially in the snow...

What size would you guys absolutely recommend for my situation?

Going from stock height to 2.5" BB + Rubicon Monotubes

Want to run a 31" or so (but no larger) tire and don't really care how wide 9-10.5" on a 17" rim.

I want to run a Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo

Which one is for me?

Thanks guys for the quick help!

If you do some liberal trimming on the bumper at stock height you could fit a 32" without flexing.

Otherewise a 31x10.5 will fit with just minor trimming on the bumper. (265/65R17)

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo I have heard is a great tire. Ive never had them but seems everyone who has them likes them. So get them in the size Nick just stated.

I have no experience with any 31s other than my aztecs which are a generic A/T they are awesome on the highway ...no noise and stable, just fair offroad, but cheap as heck. 225 for 4 used ones.

Well, turns out the Firestone Center that could've got me the tires by tomorrow wants to jack me over by letting me know at the last minute that flat repairs and road hazards are not covered unless I purchase the plan for each tire so that would add about $100 to my out-the-door price so I'm just going to hold off on tires until I can get the lift installed after New Years. By then my shocks should be on their way and Discount will have time to ship the tires and I can get them installed for a decent price without sacrificing services that should be free in the first place.

I think I'm going to just go ahead and get the 255/70R17 which is almost exactly a 31x10" tire.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

...oh and it's my 666th post, hehe
