Default Tire question

I have a 2013 with the original Wranglers on it that I am replacing. 275/65R/18. I ordered some Michelin A/T2 tires from Wal Mart and will have them shipped directly to the WM tire center. I see on the confirmation they are sending 265/R60/18 and I cannot get in touch with them. Can I assume this is a mistake and need to be sent back? I'm not a SME on tires so not sure what to think.

Thanks

Yup sounds like they ordered the wrong tire.

I ordered online at the WM.com site but I knew my tire size so somewhere on their end they changed it.

265/60/18 are stock size for a 2wd, 275/65/18 are stock size for a 4wd. I have a 2wd and had the 265/60, put a lift kit on and jumped up to the 275/65 which by the way is 2" in diameter larger than the 265/60.


Dunno who screwed up but you don't want them.
