I guess 16" steelies aren't that pricey.

But 35x11? I think that might look a little skinny. I always thought 35x12.5 was a perfect looking ratio.
I want narrow for turning radius and ice traction. They no longer make 35"x??x15, and it's cheaper to buy five wheels and five Treadwrights than it would be to buy five name brand 35x12.5x15 tires.

Their options are limited because they retread old tires. Their market is based on what skins are available to them, and 32s aren't all that common.

Does a squeaky fan belt squeak louder and faster as you accelerate?

I'm seeing that all over. I kinda figured 32's would be a popular size. I like the thinner 32's vs the wider 33's.

Damn. I've looked at them before not recently though. I was hesitant before because my lifted XJ was my DD. Its not anymore. Got another one for that.

But the tires themselves are great and the customer service of treadwright is too notch. They sent me 4 stickers, a booklet, and a coffee mug. It came a few weeks after my tires so idk if it had something to do with me emailing them about how great their customer service is.
So you are happy with your tires?

A squeaky belt could, but it could be just about anything on the serp belt.
