So I haven’t updated this in awhile. Not much has happened, but a lot of prep is in the works for things to come.
I wanted to ride out my 31s (BFG KOs from 2013 ) as long as I could since they still had a decent amount of tread. One got a flat and I got it patched and thought all was good. A few weeks later I discovered it flat again, and made the executive decision to get a new set of tires.
I decided on some Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs. I don’t do heavy wheeling, and my Jeep sees maybe 5000 miles a year, so I didn’t need something super high quality as the tires will probably hit retirement age before the tread wears down. I’m very happy with how smooth and quiet they are.
I decided on staying with 31s and the 2” lift. I’ve enjoyed how easy the ride and maintenance is, and my wallet also thanks me as well. It’s plenty capable the way it is, especially with the JKS quick disconnects, and if I ever need to upgrade down the road, I’ll know. Here’s @kmas0n and I mounting the tires with his fancy setup. A big thanks to him for helping me out when I need it!
I think they look great. The tread is aggressive, and the sidewall isn’t too flashy, which I like considering I’m trying to keep the “stock” look. I also like that the letters have a white outline but are black in the middle.
