Tire Decisions

[xjjeepthing]

OK the 32" Kumho's are wearing way faster then I expected. I'm going to have to get tires this summer. Has to be Mud Terrains. I want your opinions on your favorites. Also most of you have seen my XJ. I was thinking of going to 33" tires. Think at 4" I can clear with out issue. I can trim the front a bit more and change the bumpstops. What you think.

Well you know me. I'm doing the 33 or 35" BFG KM2. The one's I have now are 2.5 years old and still have good tread.

Have you looked at thr Toyos yet they are a great tread pattern.

All of the mud terrain tires Interco has wear very quickly. I had some until I gave them to my son. I only used them on days I went wheeling. You could just watch them disappear on the street. Traction on pavement was poor also.

Get BFGs I have some I bought used five years ago. They just won't wear out and excellent traction with reduced noise levels.

i had some 32 inch dunlop mudrovers on my last jeep i had them for about two years and they still looked new they were great on and off the road alittle noisy on the road but i was very happy with them. and they were cheap i paid $475 for 4 and sams club.

Im running 33x12.50x15 BFG KM2 by far the best tires I have ever bought. I had the original Km before these and man they were loud. Just my .02

I'm running the 35" BFG KM2s... Best. Tires. Ever. You can truly beat them up...

Looking at the rig I can see more than enough room for 33's I run BFG's and highly recomend them Toyo's are nice but pricey. Its a tough decision and you'll always say I shoulda afterwords but do the reasearch and pick the ones that best fit your Rigs ability and you pocketbook

Ok, I HIGHLY recommend Goodyear Duratrac tires. I've had the BFGs and let me tell you, the Duratrac tires perform just as good and LOOK 100xs better then the BFGs. I'd deff run 33's if I were you but think long and hard about them. I run them as my DD and hit the trails every chance I get. Tread wear in amazing and not noicey AT ALL.

BFG-Performance= 10
GYDuratrac-Performance= 10
BFG-Looks= 8
GYDuratrac-Looks= 10

Basically, most of the compliments I get about my jeep are from the tires. Aggresive stance and mean looking tire. Performs as good as it looks.
