Well, I had the Coopers installed on Monday. Cooper AT3 LTs in a 245/70R17. Slightly taller than the option tire for the 06 Grand and it fit nicely. I was a little worried about the upper post and thought I might have to trim it, but there's plenty of room. I also finished my first full tank with them on and managed a little over 15mpg, after adjusting the mileage for the extra size. Not great, but I think I can tweak my driving a bit to get a little more out of it. These tires are not noticeably louder than the street tires, so that worked out well. So far I'm satisfied and will take them off the beaten path over the weekend.
Meantime, I also received my Belly Guard from 4XGuard. Definitely a nice piece of armor. It's a simple install and while ratcheting combination wrenches helped immensely, it was still awkward as all get out. This will complete the skid guard portion of my upgrades. I still need to delete the side step brackets to get my clearance back, but I'll post about that when it's done.
