I just bought a set of 4 of there 31x10.50R15 mudding tires look just like the goodyear MTR.

http://www.treadwright.com/pictures_...id=43&title=LT 31X10.50R15 MTG

Only cost me $375 for all 4 tires and that includes the shipping cost tires were about $325 and shipping was about $55 i think and i couldnt be happier also saved me about $500 if i bought tires from tire rack, yes they are retreads but have heard good things about the company and they also come with a 2 year warranty so no worries there.

Mainly do to the size if you have a 3" lift 30's would look better then 235's it would fill in the will well more.

If it was me i would use http://www.treadwright.com/pictures_...id=34&title=LT 30X9.50R15 MUD

Or if you have a 3" lift you can use 31's and go with

No, 30's are approx. 1/2" taller and a touch wider than a 235. Measurements will vary from manufacturer.

Ex.

BFG KM2

30x9.50 - 29.8 x 9.5

235/75R15 - 29.1 x 9.3

This was the thread I was talking about. I have never ran the treadwright's. I just thought I would bring this thread up. Sometimes the cheap way isnt always the best.

I voted for the 30", they will look better... If I had your lift and rig I would be looking at the 31's. Might require some very minor surgery to the flares, in the front and an adjustment to the steering stops. I have 235/75 on my ZJ with 2" and they look small, the ZJ wheel wells are tighter than the XJ. I have only seen the 1 thread on any forum wityh bad reviews of treadright and retreads in general. I am seriously considering them for my next set.
