Hey guys i haven't posted here for awhile but thought id stop in and ask for opinions.
My LJR is currently on an old, tired 2.5" spring lift w/ 1.25" BMB body lift and 285/75/16 (33") Toyo RT's on Moabs. I ran over a screw and punctured a tire. I tried to plug it myself (not an expert on that) but it kept losing air. I headed down to my local Discount for a permanent patch and they said "the inner tire is split, you'll need a new tire".
The tires are only 2.5 years old, but have enough tread wear to warrant a new set if i have to replace 1. My plan was to ride these until bald, then build up to and buy 35's.
The Jeep is not a primary vehicle but does see road driving on occasion. I also don't have a trailer for it currently. I recently bought an old 89 C2500, and plan to slowly overhaul it to be my secondary vehicle and in a perfect world, eventually a tow rig for the LJ. But for now, the Jeep is how i get around when the Mrs. is out at Costco and it drives itself to the trails.
Whats everyone's thoughts? Do i buy a new set of 33's and stick with my current, underperforming Jeep lift, or use God's screw in the road as an excuse for bad financial decisions? I can post pics of the tire on my lunch break if anyones interested.
