Thinking of upgrading from 33 to 35 on stock 17s, would spare 35 fit under the stock carrier...2012 Yukon XL is lifted 3", thanks for any replies and help!

Also interested. I currently have a 33" tire and it looks like it might work, but I'm not sure.

just an update, 35s spare would fit a BFG KO2 on a stock 17s. The spare fit with no issue.

nice! thanks! So you put a 35" in your stock spare location with no problem? Truck looks great by the way.
Yes, if you look closely, that's a 35 KO2 tire under...I don't know with other models but it fits perfectly under a 2012 Yukon XL. No issue and it was easy to put it up there.

attached are the specs if you're interested, hope that helps.
I've been looking at KO2s, but they all seem to be black side wall. I kind of prefer the white raised letters! I can't seem to find them - at least in the 315/70R17s which is what I'm planning to go to.

I got [email protected] fast shipping got it within 2 days. 315/70R17 = 35s 12.5 , I mean the closest, correct me if I'm wrong. You were right they are all black in 315s so I went to 35s/12.5 to get the whites. If thats your truck on your Avatar, then the ones I have would look really nice on your setup. Very cool headlights BTW.

I did find the afterwards. Looks like the whites are on load range E only. I kind of like the softer/ lighter/ narrower tire, but I do think they would look good on my truck (yes that's mine in my avatar). Got the headlights on Amazon btw.
did you do the NorCal mod at the back of the front fender and bumper trim? Did you have to do anything to the rear fender to fit them?

Yes even with a 3" lift, I had to do all the above mention, but just the front. Nothing done at the back wheel. Nothing biggie tho it was just a lot of measuring and testing. You cut as you go, prolly 30mins max of trimming both sides. It's not that obvious looking at the picture since I tried to cut just enough to avoid the rubbing.

I found this tire: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar LT275/80R17

goodyear wrangler.jpg


I'm considering using it as my spare because it would provide a little better ground clearance. It is about 1.5" narrower than a 315/70r17 or a 35x12.50 and comparable diameter.

I wouldn't mind running all of them on that narrower tread honestly, but I prefer an AT tread to a MT. Not many options in that oddball size.

Has anyone had any experience with the Goodyear Territory MTs? (Bronco OE Tire). I'm considering those as they are really well priced and about 10 pounds lighter than a KO2
