Took my jeep to get the oil changed today and parked beside another 2 door in the dealer's lot on 35s.

Can't sleep now.

I feel ya. Sold my nearly new 33" Maxxis Bighorns for 35" Kelly Safari TSR's nearly a year ago now and glad I did.

Bet you have dreams of that 2-door crushing your rig like Bigfoot flattening a Prius. :)

But then you'll wake up, and realize his tires were probably only 34's.
They may have measured out to 34" (or smaller if they were BFG KM2) but still big enough for ESP to notice.:D

:rofl: :angel:

So does anyone know if the 35x12.5R15 KM2s would mount smaller than say the BFG ATs in this size? I'm deciding between these two and leaning towards the ATs because making the jump to 35s is gonna hurt and the ATs are 35lbs lighter than the KM2s. Also, can anyone chime in on whether the stock spare carrier could support a 54lb tire ok without additional support?

personally, if you're sticking with 35s, I would go with the duratracs. Seem like such a great all season tire. Although mtr/ks are what I'm chasing. they look so awesome!
But the Duratracs aren't offered in 35s for the 15" wheel he is running. He would have to get new wheels as well.

oh wow, I didn't even realize that; for some reason I thought they did!

well, in DTD's offering, my top pick would still be the goodyear mt/r k. runner up, for looks, would be the kumho venture (actually the tire I was going to get when I wanted 35s, I think dtd still has a quote sitting together for me for them!). In terms of a great tire though, I might look at the falken wildpeak. aggressive AT, will handled similar to the duratrac.

Everytime I see a "E" load, or talk to something using it, they seem to hate it! JK's/JKU's are not nearly heavy enough for an E load! Tires won't flex at all, and the ride is miserable. I would want it nice as soft, if you're gonna go wide with tall sidewall, make sure that sidewall can flex!

I think alot of it comes down to landscape. I think I would be happy performance wise with a smaller tire, but in new england, everything is always slicked up. I have yet to do a run were the obstacles were dry. so taking a big 37 and airing it down to 8psi, makes for a nice big grippy piece of rubber that helps you climb up a mud covered ledge. Totally agree that in a dryer environmental, the only need for a big tire is to go over a really really big rock! of course, they I wouldn't be looking at mt's, I'd be all over the at's!

Although, I have to admit. I could probably be just as happy with a set of 35s as I would be with some 37s. So I am going the 37 route purely for looks. Because my wife said so. Can't argue with the little ladies!
I've seen your underside. 35's are way to small for your rig :D
