1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee New Taller Tire

With the new and old tires shown side by side, the increase in diameter is fairly apparent. The stock size is a 245/70/16R, which offers a 29.5-inch overall diameter. This creates more than 1 inch of increase in tire size considering that the 265/70R16 BFG T/A offers a 30.7-inch overall diameter. We'll also benefit from a much more aggressive and heavy-duty tread.
