    What is the best 35 inch tire for the TJ? Ride quality and road noise isn't a concern

    I’m in need for a new set of 5. I’m currently running the wrangler MT/r and I’m actually a big fan. They slid around a lot less on dirt than my horrible firestones and the Kevlar sidewalls gave me a bit of peace of mind. I just recently took them out on the snow and they performed terribly, I’m...

    Tire pressure on discontinued tire - Rugged Terrain

    Hello! I’m looking for recommended tire pressures on this tire: BF Goodrich, Rugged Terrain T/A, 31X10.515LT This is outside of my area of expertise, and I have no idea what to aim for. I’m looking to get a fuel economy pressure, and a conservative off-road pressure. Thank you!

    Are 31 inch tires good on the highway?

    I currently have P235/70R15 on my TJ and so far they have been great for highway driving and mild trails. I'm thinking about getting 31 inch tires once I save up enough cash and time. Will there be a big difference on the highway going from 28 inch to 31 inch tires?

    Anyone know what’s the biggest tire size you can put on a stock Jeep Tj without rubbing? I don’t mind putting wheel spacers if I have to. I currently have the stock 15” aluminum rims, would I need new ones?

    Advice on 31X10.50R15 tires

    Part of my TJ build includes getting new tires to replace my current 15 (!) year old ones. I’ve read a lot of threads on 31’s vs 33’s. I know I would like the look of the 33’s more because of the extra height, and I can fit them with my current lift upgrade plans. But I really don’t *need*...
