    Some other notes....
    • I am running 28 PSI Cold
    • The dealer Can Not change my tire size or REVs per Mile in the cars computer, bummer.
    • The dealer Did change the tire pressure warning level to 32 PSI, supposedly the only option they had, they say there are only presets.
    • Talked to several dealers and got several answers, it appears to be based per build/vin for what may be able to be changed.
    With the tire pressure warning set to 32 PSI, the warning light comes on at 27PSI so I am running a cold pressure of 28PSI.

    Note the tire pressure change is due to the load index of the tire going from 98 SL - 109 XL
    Stock Tires *** 98 SL @ 35PSI = 1,616 Lbs Load Rating
    New Tires *** 109 XL @ 28PSI = 1,620 Lbs Load Rating

    You can use this chart to figure out the starting tire pressure by figuring out what load was for the rating of your stock tires at the stock recommended cold pressure, then looking up the new load range, finding the similar load and then seeing at what psi that is. Here is a chart: http://www.falkentire.com/tires/care-safety-warranty?qt-tire_care_safety=2#qt-tire_care_safety

    Even though 2 tires may be the same size on paper, it does not mean they are the same dimensions in real life, mounted on your rim size and width/diameter and under your load and tire pressure. Sure they are likely close, but the Falkens fit by a few millimeters before they rub, so these may or may not fit well. Take note that the tire type, tread, shoulder tread, side biter tread, may all also play a factor in clearing the strut tower and inner fender liners.

    The 16/17 inch change may also change dimensions enough to make it an issue even dropping from a 70 to 65 side wall profile size.

    So, in the end there is only one sure fire way to know it it will work.... Give it a try. :D

    Thanks for the update. I plan on getting those in 225/75R16 when my tires get worn

    Running this tire and size on my Renegade. So far I'm impressed with them. No wear and very quiet.

    Did you do the pinch seam trim? How do those 225/75R16 fit?

    Do you have any other pics since you replaced the M/Ts? These tires look like a good balance of street manners and offroad performance.

    Which variant of renegade are you running? I don't see any tow hooks, so not a trailhawk? This is a super helpful post, so thank you!

    Cool... I think those clearances are the same on my latitude 4WD. I'm probably going to pull the trigger in a couple of months. Thanks again for all the info!
