I got my Yokohama tires replaced with General Grabbers today. If you missed all my previous threads, the Yokos went bad 2 years in to the 5 year warranty and I had to return them to Amazon because Yokohama wouldn't warranty them... due to buying them on amazon. ANYWAY....

The previous tires were 275/60R17 and they fit great. These tires were a bit narrower and only a bit taller so I thought they'd fit with even more room to spare. Well they do fit, but holy crap are they close!!!

That's about as close as you can get without rubbing! These are the new Grabbers, MT2 or something like that.

I'll take full pictures soon when I get a chance.

Yep, I had a set of Toyo Open Country tires in that same size on my 03 Envoy. Lifted the front a bit (compared to stock tires) and fit the exact same way. Loved them!

I have the same size tyres and there's a bee's dick clearance like yours.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH WTF!!! :rotfl:

All things considered, I think 275/60R17 is a better size for these trucks. A little wider, a little more suspension clearance. But given the lack of options in that size, these certainly look well enough and fit well enough. I just hope they don't expand from 2 hours of driving to the cape in a few weeks and start rubbing :/

If the clearance is the same as the 265/65R17 then there won't be any rubbing. I drove to Florida when mine were brand new, 2 9 hour days at highway speeds and there wasn't a problem.
