Can anyone offer advice on off-road A/T tyres to fit the 2003 Sahara which has 275/65/17".
So far I've only found the 275/65/17 Grandtrek AT2 and 265/70/17 Coopers ST that would fit.
Thanks, Dave

Forget the 17" just get a set of 16" rims from a GXL IFS and you have a huge range of tyres to choose from

think you will find that replacement 17" rims are around $1100 EACH
might make your choice easier

Why on earth would he want a new set of rims if Cooper make an ST in a 17 inch?
Just buy the Coopers. They're a fantastic all-rounder.

So then he could fit a really good tyre like the Good Year ATR, and not need to worry about the Cooper...

16's also give a bit extra rubber buffer between road and rim in the tough stuff - especially on deflated tyres. Plenty of predelivery sections at Toyota dealerships have cheap 16" rims cause those buying school buses want 17" alloys on their GXL's.
