Title: Wrangler RT/S
Post by: fony3 on October 06, 2006, 08:08:51 AM

Hopefully i can get an answer here  :D

I have a stock jeep with approximatly 29 inch Wrangler RT/S. They are about a year old with lots of tread. Will these tires be good enough for running some easy trails?
Thanks,
Brad

As long as it is not too wet.  The problem with those tires is they gum up pertty easily and then you need more momentum and wheel speed, then someone who is running a good mud tire.

On trails that are dry and very little mud you will be fine.  Trails that are wet and muddy, it will be harder.

Everyone has to start somewhere  :D

Thank you...Thats what i was hoping to hear. I'll have to keep watching the for sale for some 30.5 or 31 inch MTs if i want to do anything in the winter i guess.

I run my 31" MTR in winter and have been for about 3 winters now and love them.  Granted, I did have them siped, but I have heard a lot of people like them in Alberta winters.

The only things stopping me from buying some brand new, are the fact that my tires are only 1 year old, and i hope to run 33 next summer.
