I ran mine at 5 psi and the sidewalls didn't have very much flex. If you wheel on wet rock thus is a good choice for a tire. If your Jeep is a mall crawler that sees only 10% or less off road then this is the tire for you.
Yes i have. Its comparable to the goodyear for me. Kevlar sidewalls have the edge to me over the coopers. I need a tough sidewall for my needs in a mt. What i use my jeep for is diffrent than alot of other people. Hitting the ohv park and a dd is second to what i use my jeep for.
Coopers STT are MTs. But its your money/Jeep i was really disappointed in them. I wish GY didn't switch the old school MT/R's were awesome. I just picked up a set today.
Yes chris there re-tread's. We all gotta start somwhere. To each there own and build your jeep the way it works for you. I wount laugh at you. I loose respect for people who dog me for they way i build my jeep to fit my lifestyle.
I live 4 blocks from work so not allot of miles get logged in the Jeep. Plus these tires come with all sorts of shit talking and joke potential. It's a win win. !
i have ran my MTR's in the mud and rock and have had no issues yet, its mostly down to personal preference but i do agree about the sidewalls being to deep, i want the old hummer tires in 35's
Follow me down the crusher when its wet and then tell me you have no issues on the rocks. Running the kevlars at 5 psi I had to use my lockers more then I wanted compaired to other tires I ran.
Out of curiosity, why didn't you consider BFG KM2s? I like them and I think their lug pattern and soft compound (much softer, compared to the original KM1s) should do well on wet and dry rocks. I had mine siped and they also do well on asphalt .
Very nice ! I went with the 315/70/17 (34.5's). I like the look of the stock wheels so it worked out well. Looks like you got a nicer sidewall grip on the 16's though. I'm going wheeling at Browns Camp this weekend so I'm excited to see how they do after my Duratracs.
I currently have 33's and am thinking about putn 35's on. I have the 4.0 straight six. Am i going to loose alot of power?? Alao it is geared for the 33's. so the guy i bought it from told me but not sure what gears they are. It pulls the 33's just fine.
I have a 4" lift. I think i can clear 35's. but my issue is how much power lose? I talked to a guy today that has 35's and is running a 4 cylinder. He said he noticed a little power lose but not alot?
If your looking to regear I charge $200 labor per axle. I typical regear would about $900 for both axle. That includes gears, minor install kits and labor. Cost more if new carriers ate need or you want a full case locker installed.
