SL vs LT

[marcwithac]

Looking for a little help. Looking at putting a SL Wrangler Duratrac on my Sport S. I like the low weight of the Duratrac SLs. I tow a 3800lb(wet) travel trailer and drive some gravel/dirt roads. Do I need a heavier LT tire?

What size are you looking to run because last I checked, all the Duratracs are all LT tires above 31"

Either way I'm sure you will be fine. The P265/70R17 is still rated for 2,795 which is over 75% of the GAWR for the rear axle, meaning the pair will be 1.5x what the rear axle is rated to handle.

Either the 265/70R17 or the 255/70R17.

I just realized stock was a 245/75R17 haha... yeah the 265s will fit nicely and are close enough to stock that you won't need to recalibrate the speedometer.
