Need Advice!

[Jopina7807]

I have a 2" lift on my 06 Commander and currently have stock tires: 245...lol

I cannot afford a whole set of brand new tires so I've been scouring the web for a few days. Found a good deal on separate sets of tires...

1) Wrangler SR-A's with only 500 miles $250 255/75/17
2) 265/70r17 Dunlop AT20's, 5k miles, $300 (no rims)
3) Cooper Discoverer A/T 3, 7k miles, $350 265/70/17
4) Bridgestone Dueler AT, 200 Miles, $400 (JK Sahara rims) 32's
5) Yokohama Geolander AT-S, 10k miles, $375 265/70/17

I know it's a lot of options...lol...but with these options, which would be the best choice? I should note the Commander is not driven that often, probably 500 miles a month, if that, and will do a fair mix of on/off road.

Any advice would be GREAT!

Thank you!

Ive used the Bridgstones and have the Discoverer's on my Cruiser now. The Bridgstones wore well and did pretty good in my desert trips. The Coopers are quieter than the Bridgstones and the Goodrich A/T's that I had. The traction is good so far as is the wear but, I have driven these mostly street with a few dirt roads. I think they may wear out faster than the other two I have used.
When buying used off road tires, look at the corners and the edges for chopping (feathering) and look at the tread for low spots. I wont get into what causes these other than improper maintenance/wear. A very slight chopping is ok, just start them out on the rear to flatten them out. Are the sidewalls in good shape and look inside for tire patches.
You can look at the date code on the tire side. Make sure their not more than a couple of years old.
It will look something like this DOT XYZD NBVC 0217. DOT= Department of Transportation. Random letters=Manufacture coding. 4 digit number at end= Date code. 02 (second week). 17 (year). 0217=second week of 2017.

Get them balanced too.

I would go with the AT3s, those tires tamed my tuned up Cummins powered pickup and quite frankly made it driveable in winter conditions.

I would agree with tge A/T 3 they are a pretty good all around tire
I had a set on my full size ram and they did well
