The little messages on the bottom ruin the magic. Saying things "Some BFGoodrich tires will not survive a fall from the sky" "Tires were dropped from various aircrafts at multiple altitudes"
But if anything it shows the strength of the rim more than anything.
Those rims and tires aint all that strong. They may survive a fall from a plane, but the rocks out here have dinged up my rims and I have already had one flat. I have had the Jeep less than 3 months lol. TIME TO UPGRADE!
Or time to pick a different line . dinged and scratched rims have nothing to do with integral strength of the rim. Almost any surface will succumb to some form of exterior damage wether it be physical or environmental. But that doesn't prove it's overall strength.
However I would have like to see them balance those tires and how many weighs were required to get balanced up properly
Amusing!
They must have made some PSI changes to compensate for the 10,000 altitude difference.
How many did not survive the fall?
If the wheel took the impact it would shatter on hitting rock.
I agree I would love to see how some of the rims looked if they center punched a rock. I wonder how many popped that they did not show. I imagine if they hit on the sidewall on a rock it would have been ugly.
fortunately I probably wont be falling 10000 feet in my Rubicon.
I love the stock rubicon rims. I want to put 35X12.50's on them but am concerned about the lack of width. I really wish they would make them wider from the factory.
Has anyone considered having the OEM wheels widened?
