Stock Commander - Max Tire Size?

[POLARIS PRO]

It looks like it is sitting pretty level, unless the ground is. If it is level it is most likely lifted or has a leveling spacer.

Anyone going with the Goodyear Fortera Triple Treds? If so what size without causing any rubbing on a stock 06 Commander 17in wheels?

It looks lifted to me, but get back and let us know!

Go back to page 1 and read Smitty's info.

I'm in the same situation as Pete. I purchased my 06 Commander used and when looking into purchasing new tires noticed my commander currently has Dunlop AT20's 265 65 17R's on it. I'm looking at purchasing Goodyear Fortera Triple Treds. After seeing what is currently on my commander I'm torn between purchasin the Triple Treds in 245 65 17R's or 265 65 17R's

I just installed Falken Rocky Mountain ATS 265/65R17 on my bone stock '06 Commander. No rubbing at all.

Bought them through Discount Tire Direct for $645, delivered to my door, then $60 to mount and ballance them at a local shop.

They look and drive great, although I haven't had them off-road yet.

Can you post pictures? I wonder if they will rub on my 2010 ?

Hmmm. So people are fitting 265/65's on their stock commanders without rubbing?? Not sure how that is possible. Prior to my new setup I had 265/70's and even with a 2 inch lift and pinch weld mod I still rubbed every once and a while off road. You might not have rubbing on road but if you were to take it off road and flex it out I bet you would rub like crazy. All XK with 17 inch wheels came stock with 245/65R17's. Look at the plackard on the inside the drives side door.

I can't get the pictures to post on this thread, but if you go to my profile, they are there.

XK, it is quite possible they would rub off-road. I have not had mine anywhere further than driving over a curb since I put the 265's on.

Two months ago I put 265/65/17 on my 2006 XK Falken Wild Peaks, which are the same as the Rocky Mountain. However I have a 2" Daystar leveling kit with no spacers, and even like that i get some rubbing (although very little) when fully flexed and wheel turned. I also would like to see how they do not rub stock.
