Vermont HELP a Noob! Best tire for stock spare tire steelies...

[GreenMountainBillyGoat]

Noobie here...be gentle.

I want to mount some really capable tires on the stock spare tire steelies.

I don't want to alter anything. I DON'T have max tow. Stock sport.

I live in VT and deal with lots of mud in the spring, lots of snow and ice in the winter and lots of gravel roads. I'll keep my stock tires/rims for road trips.

I don't like the fatty tire look. I like the military look (keep em under the fenders). I don't have a good grasp on the tire size specs yet - all the numbers confuse me.

I'm thinking Nitto Ridge Grappler, Falken AT3W, or BFG. I was thinking 285/75r17, but I'm totally open to suggestions.

Thanks for your help in advance...I've been reading everything I can and just getting more confused...keep it simple folks...I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I personnel Like the Patagonia M/T I had them on my JL and they where fantastic and rode really quiet and the price is great. Once my OEM's wear out I will be switching

1. What size did you buy?
2. Are you running them on the stock spare tire wheels?

On my JL I ran 33's and will probably run 33's on the Mojave or maybe 35's and the fit on stock rims was fine

This is indeed an interesting option. Seems like I wouldn't need any lift or spacer whatsoever. Tires get good reviews, and I'm definitely looking for this tall, military look.

To clarify, part of what i was trying to find out is if the spare tire wheel is exactly the same as stock wheels...but the Kenda tires make that point almost moot.
