so I would be driving lots of highway and a little mud, lots of tight trails and rocks

Wrangler MT/R clones or BF Goodrich KM1 clones? both are the same dirt cheap price

 

I think the MT/R's are a better tire for rocks and trail riding personally also a bit quieter on the road the the KM1's.

 

ok so my wife is giving me crap...

MY rears are worn out... she wants me to buy ONLY 2 tires...

treadwrights claim that their 285/75/16 is 33.2" tall

but a normal 285/75/16 SHOULD be only 32.83" tall

but since all I have left is 40% thread... then they are more like 31.15" tall


so here is my question... since I do not have lockers and I only have part time 4wd, would I be OK (I figured I could run a new tire on the front and another new on on the back)

or

Do I need to tell the old lady... 'too Eff'ing Bad... the Jeep needs shoes' ???

 

Get all 4 at once.

 

Well I have the D-Tracs. They are awesome on the road. Can't say what they can do offroad b/c mine is my dd and i don't do alot of o/r.

I love the little road noise they create, its not obnoxious at all. In the snow?? WOW. they're just freakin great. I got mine from discounttire and paid 516 shipped to my door for my 235's.

In your case. If your wife is giving you some grief, i would just go for the treadrights.
You are not supposed to have missmatched tread with a 4x4 from what i have been told. You can do it but i've read its hard on the t-case.

Sorry if i'm wrong but thats what i was told, wich is why i bought 4 new ones.

 

I would personally never replace only 2 tires. It's just safer to replace all 4.

 

Yep tell the old lady to bad and get all four, i did that to mine 3 times and she gets mad for a couple days but eventually gets over and your good to go

PS. I've ran treadwrights gaurd dogs(315/75R16) on my old pickup and loved them, almost half the price of new and did excellent off road.

 

thank you to those that said to get a set of 4... they are on order! but they are on back order... 4-8 weeks

edit: added tire info

Gaurd Dog 285/75/16

What kind you end up gettting?

Gaurd Dog 285/75/16

treadwright says they are 33.2" tall!

 

Awesome, i'll sure you'll like them. I've ran my old 35" gaurd dogs through some deep snow and didn't slow me up a bit, and you definatly cant beat the price.lol

 

well I am coming from 2 matching WilD Country 285/75/16 with 30% tread in the front (and a nail in the tire...)

1 unevenly worn Wild country 285/75/16 at 5-20% tread, the tread wear is sloped

and

1 Maxxis Mudder 285/75/16 with 15% tread, dry rot, and rounded tread lines

 

Wow you where in need of a set of tires.lol

 

you can buy my tire that im selling

 

I wish I could but I don;t have 15" wheels
