I just ordered my RE 3.5" lift for my 1998 xj. I am now looking at buying some Maxxis Bighorn tires to top it all off. I am from Western Washington near Evans Creek. So we get alot of rain, some snow, and lots of mud.

Does anyone have any opinions or experiences they could share to help me out on my decision?

Thanks

 

I think you made a good choice on the lift..I went with the RE 3.5 as well...I am personally looking at all sorts of tires for when I move from 30's to 31's..

 

CooperSTT's, excellent MT tire. I have never lost traction on road once. I couldnt be happier and I expect to get 60k out of them.

 

i forgot to mention that this is my daily driver and dont take it off the pavement a lot. Just every once in a while. so it needs to have good road performance too

 

Take a look at my post, STT's are the way to go.

 

Cooper makes some real good tires, you should look at the ones Kyle suggested. Hancook and Toyo also make a good A/T and M/T tires. Try to look and price those three brands and then you have a choice to pick from.

 

If you like the BFG AT KO's or however its called. Definitely look into the General Grabber AT 2's. They are an identical match to the BFG for about $30 cheaper a tire. I just ordered my set on saturday along with my 4.5" RC lift. .

 

Hankook MT


Cooper STT

 

wildcat ext are the best

 

Im going with the Coopers. I am buying them next thursday! then im going to play in the mud to test them out. i cant wait!

 

STT Cooper tires can definitely keep up with tough weather conditions....
Tested and proven...

 

Had cooper s\t on my tj excellent tire in all driving conditions paved road pouring down rain or in a mud hole in the middle of nowhere. Put around 50 thousand miles on these tires an still had a litttle tread left cooper s\t is more of an aggressive tread all terrian tire

 

i had rea good luck with kumho mt. went places in my jimmy where my buddys truck with sompers couldn't. and they aint bad priced. bought mine for under 400 shipped from tirerack

 

i like my BFG A/T's but next will be lookin at the Cooper SST M/T.

 

I have to throw in the new Kumho M/T. Been awesome
