Think you will find the 265/65x17 will be the best size, mind you the 265/70x17 seem to have a better side wall.

Fitted the 265/65/17 Grabber AT2, they don't rub at all.
Not sure what AJS means about side wall but I did burst one of my AT2's on the first outing, mind it was a piece of metal which I doubt any tyre could have withstood. TDV6 HSE Auto in Arctic Frost - Hers

Well I have a set of standard goodyears, only done 1200miles, and now want to change them for a set of MTR's, was looking down the spare set of wheels route, but I guess thats just a waste.
A trip to AJS soon me thinks, are they the ones I see just off the M25 down the A217 on the left?, always seen them, never tried.  PERMANENTLY IN THE SITE NAUGHTY CORNER

As i started this thread thought i better update things.
Have now fitted 255/60 - 18 General Grabbers AT2. Used them on the road and off road at LRO with no worries.
Have fun. If you are helpful and then stop, you get more agro than if you never helped in the first place.

CFB,
The 265/70x17 AT2 has a 115T load rating which is higher than the 265/65x17 AT2, which is 112T, so sidewall is a little stronger.
