I need to reshoe my 22 OBW. Heading from East coast to adventures out west.

I have oem Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 
225/65R17

But am considering getting 5 of the slightly larger Falken Wildpeak 
235/65R17

Will these Falkens at 235 fit in my trunk well? Maybe with some deflation?

I use a 1x1 x 48” square tube as a crossbar to give support for my overlandish trunk setup. Looks like maybe 1/4 of slack to go larger than the geolandars.

Looks like the A/T3W aren’t available in 225.

Falkens seem great and I have a lot of highway to go before I get to the fun…my Yokos drone sometimes…how much louder are the Falkens?

What do you think of wind deflectors?

For camping and trailhead parking, I’d like to keep the gear (like the EcoFlow battery and the fridge) cooler while not totally blowing security.

I have a ground tent and a cargo box on top. I’m not sleeping in back.

Are deflectors a decent option…or should I just pop the sunroof tilt open? Put up a windshield reflector? I fear I’ve dropped enough buying gear for the land yacht lol, so I’m not really up for expensive tinting. It’s pretty dark already and all my gear is pretty much black.

New to us 22 OBW with 33k miles. Planning a long summer road trip with a lot of dirt roads and camping.

Car has oem tires. Their tread looks ok but definitely worn down. For trail riding, I’d rather put some new tires on.

If get 5 new tires, can I fit the old , but someone useful, old tires in back for one trip so I can save them for later?

Or since the spare is in good shape, just buy 4 more matching oem tires and skip switching or any moderate upsizing? …Although a little more approach space would be nice.
