Tires Nexen or BFGoodrich
I ran nexen Sport R, they’re a tick off pace of the hot 200tw (RE71RS, CRSv2, A052) but they’re super consistent across a 30 minute lapping session and I was getting 5-6 days out of a set.
I recommend Nexen. They are good quality Korean brand. My Kia Cerato has them.
The 275/70/17 size shouldn’t rub with stock suspension, my bfg ko2’s never did and now I have ko3’s and they don’t.
I personally love my BFG tires, and have had a good experience with multiple sets.
I ended up going with the KO3 recently when my badlands tires wore down. They are noticeably better in the rain and taking quick turns without the backend slipping.
We have been very happy with our KO2s, which we got because that was the most popular used by local plow drivers and didn’t find the need to reinvent the wheel.
I've been running BFG K02s on it since I put it on the road in 2017, they are finally worn down enough that I wouldn't want to run them this winter. I've had no complaints about the K02 personally, its a solid all around-er.
My take after several sets of KO2 and the competition. KO2s look good and are very durable for off-road work. Excellent puncture resistance and tough sidewalls. For on-road they start fairly quiet but tend to get noisy after wearing. They flat-out suck in the rain, marginal at best in snow/ice, and tend to push in corners (poor lateral traction).
Horrible tires. I have had 2 side wall blow outs with these tires, one on a very busy highway, late at night and almost got unto a horrible accident. Avoid these tires at all cost.
These tires are absolute junk I would never recommend them to anyone. We have had two blow outs with them and just went today and got four new tires. Never again will I buy these.
