The mud tires are a total of 4'' taller than stock, but a bit narrower. 225/75-15 was original size, I now have 215/85-16 on it.

I want to go down there, but I wouldn't drive my Jeep down. Would be afraid of breaking something and not being able to drive it back. If I can secure a truck and a trailer I would!
