Hello. My name is don and I'm new here. I have a question or two about tire sizes.
I own a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 245/65R-17 tires. They are getting low on tred and not too surprising since they are more than 3 years old.
Supposedly in Maine you can only go 2 sizes larger on tires legally. I'm not looking for crazy mud tires or anything anyway. Would just like a little more height if I'm buying new tires anyway. Any reason I can't upgrade to something like 245/75R-17 tires? My only real concerns is I don't want to buy new rims and I'm a little worried about what this will change for normal driving performance and the automatic 4 wheel drive function that kicks in automatically.
Any thouhts? Thanks in advance.
Don
