they will fit fine. Don't know about the tire itself but how bad could they be?

ok told him ill take em. gotta be better than the 3 bald ones ive got now anyway . I just hope they dont rub. I paid £300 for a set of 4 brand new never been on truck. This sound ok???

Steve, I suspect that they will rub without a lift, but there again it will prompt you to get the lift earlier.

I have the wrangler MTs on my 80 and find that they are OK in mud, but not spectacular. On the road they are OK although a bit noisier than I would like. They are also very 'interesting' in the wet - you should be OK if you can hold the 80 in a power slide - I managed to hold my 80 for about 100yrds sideways coming off a local roundabout in the wet!

Never had problems with mine in 285/75, they were fine for me in the wet and snow (very wet here), no rubbing on stock suspension, they are the same height as the ones you are getting. Yours are just slightly wider and are frequently mentioned as a size that will work on stock suspension. Mine were ~$200 each, new, I suspect they are quite a bit more expensive over there, so you probably got a pretty good deal.
