I've ordered my 4.5" RCX X-Series for my 91 Cherokee and need to decide on tires... it's not going to be a hardcore wheeler, but I'm not going to go play mall crawler either. It's primary function is my DD. I want a mud terrain because of the aggressive look or maybe a super aggressive A/T. But here's the kicker... I want something that wont look small under my lift (maybe going to 6.5) and narrow. Pizza cutter narrow, 9.50-10.50.

Km2's or ypu could get guard dogs through treadwright. Another option is sigma mt's through NTB.

I was looking at the guard dogs but they only have 31s and 30s in the width I want

You don't think the 4.5" will dwarf those?

I just installed that same lift w weeks ago on my 95. I have 31 and they look small to me. I would go with 33s.

Goodyear Duratrac is the best, bar none. Can fit 10.5 with excessive trimming but it's worth it.

No triming yet, but I'm going to trim just the front near the bumper. That's the only place they touched when I stuffed them. Add my tires are 10.5

How worn are those? Because I've seen another setup with brand new 31x10.50 tires and I didn't think it was too small. Just trying to get some opinions!

Here's a different view...Same lift and tires just different wheels.
