I bought some Firestone AT's, LT265/75-17's for my express van on 8 lug rims, really cheap and great tread too. But they rub lock to lock , so I'm thinking, maybe I'll just use them in the winter on the Hoe. I just bought brand new Wrangler HP's, but I really like the tread pattern on the AT's. I'll either put them on my Denali rims or the steel rims we have as spares. Opinions?

I used those Firestone AT on my OBS and they were good. They looked pretty tough. I think perfect for your winter wheels.

If you're lowered (and you are), I don't think they'll fit without rubbing.

How much do they scrub at full lock? could you simply add a 1/4" shim/spacer?

I might be able to. I bolted them in and while it was still in the air, had my gf turn the wheel, lock to lock, and it rubbed pretty good where the wheel stopped turning. I couldn't even force it to turn with my hands. 1/4 spacer MIGHT do it tho.

It's obvious that you just need to lift it for the winter. Duh.

Steels with silver caps? Ppv style? That would look good imo.
