tire recommendations

[specialk]

Have run Duratracs for a couple of years and they have been great tires.   No issues at all.

I ran 33" cooper stt's on mine when I had it.  Lighter than the toyo mt.  The rubber compound is supposedly softer than the toyo meaning on a lighter vehicle you could argue they would be better in the winter.  I siped the centre two lugs and they worked surprisingly well in the winter.  I'll be putting a set on my truck before the snow flies this year.

Hmm, hope you can help this newb out too - 2014 JK, 16" rims, stock ride height. Recommendations for tire sizes for offroading in Mclean? Thanks in advance

40s.,... Do it...  

Its really an arbutuary question though.  Jks can handle 35s stock?  (Some one correct me if wrong).  So are you saying that you have at's and want to go to mt's?  Do you want to keep it handling same on the road as it is now.  Is your jeep going to become an off road rig or do you want to run a trail at McLean everyoonce in while?...  Cause you can do that with what ever you have now.  just some want to give you some food for thought.   You will have more fun and learn more wheeling a tire closer to stock for a while.  Or just get 40s.

I don't really mind how it handles on the road, I just know the stock tires weren't very ideal for some of the paths in Mclean and I'm really looking for something a little less puncture-prone and a little better on some of the wetter inclines. I'll see if I can find some 40s. Thanks specialk! Any specific brands you recommend? I'm a tire newbie when it comes to offroading.

I was being sarcastic about the 40s lol...  Lots of good brands out there that have been mention in this tread before. I have 35s duratracs for sale... They are 16s.  The rims would not work for you but you could sell em.

If looking new...  Talk to dave at broken axle.

lmfao oh man


manticus, go find a set of Rubicon Take offs. similar size tire to yours, but they are mud terrains. theres lots kicking around that will get you started.  plenty on kijiji in the 1000 - 1500$ range. you can run those for offroad and keep your stock crappers for winter

[manticus]

Hah. Thanks guys! Will take the advice.

THIS.

You will not be able to beat the value for the money of those Rubi take-offs. Wheel you rig in stock configuration for a year or two (your wallet will thank you) and then give some thought to what sort of tires and tire size are going to work for you.
