Anyone have this setup?
« on: September 17, 2009, 08:23:57 PM »
I know this is a long shot, but is anyone running skinny 32's (32x10.50)? i bought 5 Rubicon wheels and I'm debating on what tires to get 245/75 or 265/75. I would settle for a 2.5" lift with 245's, but I want a wider tire like the 265's and just put a 3.5" lift, which would leave better options down the road for 33's or bigger with some shackles. I also wanted to see how it would look. Thanks in advance for the input!

The first number is tire height second is width. I run 305/70 bfg mt on rubi.  they are substantually bigger then 33 but not quite 35. No rub really even in back w narrower than stock 8.8

I'm running 33x10.50's and plan on going to 35x10.50's when I need new tires.  Plenty of Toyota's run pizza cutters.  I've had great results with the skinny tires.

I found 2 tires more along the 31x10.50 range, which is what I want. The Interco Thornbird and the Cooper Discoverer STT. The Thronbird is cheaper, but I haven't heard much about them other than they're a poser tire and I haven't heard great things about Interco either. Can anyone give any input? Thanks!

Friends don't let friends drive with Thornbirds. They are pretty much  :crap: The SST is a good tire. Cooper make the tires for Pro-Comp too. I wish the SST came in my size I think I would give them a whirl. I also like the KM2.

There is a TON of 31-10.50 15's on the market.

Interco make great offroad tires. I wouldn't run any of the radials though.

Why not Interco radials? Bias ply suck on the street but they are great offroad.

I had Cooper stt'sn they where good wheeling tires just very hard to get balanced.
Other than that they did great in rocls, snow and what little mud I could find in winter.
As far as offroading goes they where every bit as good as my MTR's

I run 34x10.50 LTB's on my YJ and love the way they wrk only thing I don't like is the tread life, they wear very quickly, so I picked up a second set of tires and wheels and now I run 33x9.50 BFG AT's on road and the LTBs off, this to me is a great way to have a Jeep set-up, I personally wouldn't want a wider tire 99% of the time, only time I want wider is when I'm in a bottomless mud pit, then I would like to have more floatation, but that isn't where I spend most of my time, so I deal w/ it, heck thats what staps and friends are for, lol.


Now w/ that said, how do you use/plan to use your Jeep, that will make a big difference on what you want for tires.

From what I've been told my friends, the SSR & TSL Radials suck.  They don't offer many more miles then the bias ply but cost more.

x2, 34x10.5 LTBs here too. I see no problem with using these on a DD if your commute is short. But they absolutely suck in rain and wear relatively quickly. I would never drive them on the freeway in a rainstorm but around town they are probably okay.

33x12.50 BFG M/T great in the rain on the hwy but needs attention when cornering on wet road, well so is my Camaro but i feel that with the Jeep compared to dry there is a significant difference in cornering speed (starts throwing out the rear very easily)
