Here are some before and after pics of Falken at3w 235s on a stock (for now) xj if anyone is interested. Just had them put on today, very quiet tire and rides nice. 225/75-15
235s

 

Like them. No rubbing?

 

pmondo, looking sharp! After seeing the thread about them I looked into them, but my tire shop doesn't have a supplier for the brand.

Usually, 235s don't have any problems rubbing on a stock Jeep. Even when I first got my Jeep and the rear was sagging in need of new springs, it didn't rub on 235s (BFG AT KOs).

 

Jordan,order them online and have your shop put them on.


They look really good, pmondo!


Now shut up and give me your Jeep!

 

Thanks guys. I like them so far, no rubbing.

Discount tire direct is having a labor day rebate sale. I got them for $349 to my door, that's after the $75 rebate gets sent in.

 

Those look great. An attitude adjustment for your XJ.

 

Your Jeep looks exactly like mine. Same stock, same year, and even same color -- and I am about to go from stock 225 75 15 to 235s, so thanks for posting. I was worried about rubbing with larger tires but apparently no problem. Heard good about Falkens but about to buy Cooper ATVs in 235s. Regards,

 

235/75/15 Fit with no issues and I have cooper adventures on mines as well (oh crap lmao) oh well

 

I have 235/75R15 Cooper AT3s on my 2000 on 8" Black Rock wheels with 4.5 backspacing and I get no rubbing at all. The tires are just under the flares. Barely.

 

Can you report on the pro and cons ?

on the road, at highway speed ?
mpg? Noise ? Handling ?

thanks

am I wrong if I say 225/75R15 will be just a tad smaller.
I am interested by an inbetween look.

 

Take a good look at the Kumho AT51s. One of our old timers here says they are the best kept secret in Jeeping. I put some on the family van (obviously not ATs!) and I am very impressed.
