I’ve got the RT’s in a 315/70R17. I think it looks good. Actually got a matching wheel & tire for the spare as well, plenty of room.
It uses smaller topper clamps. I have homemade aircraft track "trail rails" and they clear no problem. They also sell a clamp that fit the OEM trail rail.
Long term report on the Yokohama Geolandar M/T in 285/75/17 I had them on my gladiator for 20,000 miles approximately and pulled them off to go on a new Ram 2500 where they ran for another 30,000 miles. I was not religious about rotations - I had 1 set of tires on 2 sets of wheels and on two trucks (Gladiator and the Ram). I loved them on both and thought the size worked well for the type of off roading I am now doing. Its been too long but I remember the gas MPG hit on the Gladiator was apporoximately 1-mpg less than the factory wheels. The Yokohama's have gone up in price, which is the only reason I ran them on the Gladiator; they were significantly cheaper than Toyo's Nitto's and BFG's at the time - now in some sizes they are more expensive. I always wonder what experience a tire reviewer has when they review tires. So I'll share mine: I'm 43 - I've literally owned Jeeps since before I could drive, until my mid tweenties it was BFG A/T or M/T with a loyalty quite fierce, the size was always 33x12.50x15. I worked for Discount Tire in High School and on occasion to suppliment my income while in the Marine Corps. Around 23 or 24 I stepped up to 35's and have not run a tire smaller than that diameter until I ordered these Yokohama's for the Gladiator in 2020. Most of what I've run have be 37's occasionally 40's - once some 42" - but a lot of 35's and 37's the MFG's have been anything but BFG since the KO2's came out and I ran them for a time on my 07 JK. Around 2007 I started Running Toyo Open Country Muds and have ran them on more rigs than I can count. Other than being heavy - the Open Country's are a staple tire - could be lighter but that is my only complaint. The Yokohama's worked well got great milage and I'll definitely run them again - on the JL Sport that should be delivered to my local dealership in a few weeks.285/75/17 with 2" level - Sport Max Tow - no spacers on wheels!
Discount Tire was a great experience - still one of the best Jobs I've ever had.
I was wondering if a 315 with a wider rim would fit in the spare well. Looks like it does. Great. I've ordered the MOPAR 2" lift kit so I shouldn't have any trouble with fit off road.I’ve got the RT’s in a 315/70R17. I think it looks good.

Semper Fi to you. USMC 1968-76. I've been looking at Toyo AT3s in 305-70/17. They are pretty light, but Tire Rack rates them the lowest in wet conditions. Anybody running these? I like Duratracs, but very expensive.
Semper Fi - 1997 - 2006/ 2010-12 - I have not run the AT3's but recently had an experience with the Duratracs in Montanna, good on Ice shite on Snow.
I like the Duratracs, but they cost and arm and a leg. Are they worth the price?
Have you had them in the rain. The get pretty low ratings in water.I’ve got the RT’s in a 315/70R17. I think it looks good. Actually got a matching wheel & tire for the spare as well, plenty of room.
I ran AT3s for about 15k miles, 285/75/17. They perform great in wet and snow, they are 3pmsf which makes a big difference. I ran AT2s in the same size on my JKU and they were nowhere as good in wet or snow.
Better than any mud terrain I’ve had, but probably not quite as good as the BFG AT. The lugs are larger, like a mud terrain, but are mildly siped. I believe the RT is marketed as a hybrid tire - not as aggressive as a MT, but more aggressive than an AT. It certainly didn’t feel unsafe, but I wasn’t driving on an interstate at 70+ mph speeds. No experience with them under those conditions.
