245s vs. 235s

[Harriagec]

Okay, so after doing a lot of looking I’ve decided on the Firestone A/T2s for my future maverick hybrid that’s on order. I just can’t decide if is should go with 245/65R17s or 235s….anyone have some good convincing pics of either of those sizes? Or good reasons for one or the other? Thanks guys.

Lots of pics in that thread.
I’d personally go 235 on a hybrid since there are only downsides with going 245 (other than aesthetics)

If you don't need the most ground clearance (without a lift), I wouldn't go past 225/65R17. I'd choose the 235 if you want to go bigger.

235/65/17 on a Hybrid for sure!

235s.

On a Hybrid, stay with the OEM tire sizes. Then, if you have premature CV Axle failures, the tire size won't be an issue while the truck's under warranty.
