BFG's coming out with a new mud terrain.  Looks a lot like the Krawler tread pattern.  I don't know when it's supposed to be available but I will check out the magazine I saw the article in.

Do the toyo MT's come in 33X12.5 15?  I see on the us website they only come in a 33X13.5 15.  I did see another site where they had 33X12.5 15's but I cant seam to find it again??

Hey Bill what size toyos did you put on the jeeps and it looks like the 285/75/16 only come in an "E" rating

We put those on the rubicon, and 33 x 1350 15's are going on the  CJ.

The E rateds are really nice on the road. They noticably improved the ride and handling. But we expect they will need fairly low pressure to get flexy.

So the E rated tires are not too bad for a TJ, they are not too stiff or do you run them on the street at a pretty low pressure

Around 25 on the street. They are a stiff tire, but ride nice. I know, sounds backwards, but they do.

Hard the same effect on my 1 ton as well. Way stronger tire, but a lot better ride.

They are also really quiet, you only feel and hear when rolling to a stop, and right at take off. Soon as you up past 10kph, they smooth right out.

You're talking crazy talk  8)

I see that the coopers in the 285/75/16 are a "D" rating, is there really much difference between the different rating.  I know that these rating basically just allow you to run higher pressures, which then relates to weight but are the sidewalls that much stiffer?

I dont think you would really notice the difference from a d to an e. C to E, definately.

Any 16 will be a little stiffer due to less sidewall anyways.
