I like my authority's I've had them for almost 30k miles, (doing a 5 tire rotations =24k a tire) ans they have plenty of tread left. I rotate every 4-5k and run them at 30 psi...

How is the handling?

Your JEEP looks good man...

How is the handling on those tires? Pavement, Ice, Rain, Snow, Mud etc? Are they loud? How much to they go for..

I have some duratrec or whatever the PO put on from pep boys, for what they cost I can't complain.. but they are loud and slippery in rain...

Thanks :thumb:

They handle great on the pavement and in the rain, we didn't get much snow last year but the 3-4" we did get they were fine and I stay away from the mud... The most mud they've seen is the fields around my buddies and they weren't really muddy just soft, but they've been a great tire

You can hear them but its not overbearing (they're louder for the first few hundred miles after rotation)

I paid 158+8 for lifetime balancing each

I have the same tires. They are Walmart exclusive but are only $150 per tire. I love mine. Not very loud at all. Great in mud, sand and rocks. Haven't tested in snow being that I live at the beach but UNF was a great test for them.

Got a hard top

Bought a decent hard top for my '05 TJ off craigslist last night. Cleaned it up and got it ready to install today. Plan to remove my soft top in the morning and install it. Don't even have to paint it as paint is in fair shape and color (tan) will work with the dark green mine is pained. :iamhappy:

Today i put on JK turn markers in my grill, and LEDs in my tube fenders. Took off the side steps, and the right side mirror, they where broke. Now just waiting on a tow truck to get it to the shop to check out a few things. Hope to get it back up and running soon. Was thinking about removing my rear fenders, any thoughts from anyone?
