P235/75R15 Wrangler Radials

Any good for a stock 91 XJ for winter, light off road, DD, and eventually 3 inch lift?

These guys:

 

GSA? Not really. They're okay all seasons but that's about it.

 

Those are sold at Walmart if you have one close by with a Tire and Lube center. They range from $74-$87 depending on where you live.

I've got them on my stock jeep and had them on a small S10 pickup. My only complaint was they are a very soft rubber and the sidewalls are thin. Other than that I got good traction in light wheeling and everyday use.

There are better tires out there, but these fit my budget at the time.

 

This weekend ill be removing the ac system in my 90 Cherokee Laredo, ill also be removing the clutch fan and installing 3 10" fans powered by 2 hayden programable fan controllers. The fans fraw 12 amps each and the controllers are rated at 30 so I was gonna have one come on at 190 and the other two at 200 I have a 2 row all aluminum radiator. I have a few questions should I just wire the controllers straight to the battery or run them through the ignition? Also what temperatures Should I set it to I have a 180 degree tstat in I was thinking 190 and 200 what do you think?

 

You should install a factory 195* tstat, I'd run them off of a relay then to the ignition. Id recommend the 1 turning on at 190 and the other 2 at about 205*-210* which is operating temp for the 4.0

 

Run a switch inside to control power to the relay for the controllers, getting the power for the switch from the ignition is fine or just pull it somewhere else if you want to control heat soak. Never run straight from the battery. One fan should always be running. I'd make this the left-most so that there's air blowing over the exhaust and intake. I'd spin up another at 200 and another at 215. The stock setup is 195 degree thermostat and mechanical fan designed to really flow >190 degrees with the E-fan coming on at 218.

Of course that assumes that the fans actually move enough air. If they suck **** maybe turn them all on at the same time lol.

 

Left fan would also help cool the power steering pump. I support this.

 

Good idea, I forgot about the steering.

 

Want to tow my cherokee to the mountains next week but I don't know If I can. I was planning on renting a trailer and pulling it with my wife's honda pilot. If this will work I would save myself a lot of gas money, any help on If this will work and what I need to do to make it work

 

I don't see the Honda being enough.

 

Correct. while the XJ is easily flat-towed, I feel the Pilot may not be up to the task.

 

From googling it says the Honda Pilot (08 version at least) has a towing capacity of 3500lbs.

So no I wouldn't do that. If you did I don't think it would really save that much gas money the MPG would have to drop off a lot towing at the top of its capacity.

 

Anyone got a good link to a cut fold rear quarters write up? Maybe with working pics. Lol

Yeah I might tow an XJ with it on flat land at city speeds. Definitely no mountain business, probably kill the transmission in a hurry.
