I would go with the wildcountrys bass. The treads are the same but my shop stopped even offering cordovan because of issues arising on a lot of their offerings. Probably more or less the same tire, I just think wildcountry is a more trustworthy brand. But that tread is pretty good for a cheaper tire. I liked them when I had them on.

No, I don't lick fish.

Hmmm I just sold a set Wednesday? Although they weren't immediately ready at a few of our suppliers. Hopefully they don't. Good budget minded tire.

Perhaps it was just his supplier then. Planning on showing him the site where I found the Cordovan's next time I see him. Glad to know a tire guy has a good opinion of them though. Thanks

I hate to ask stupid questions but i have never bought rims and tires for a SUV.
1.I'm buying a set of Cragar soft 8,i want to keep a almost factory look so would 15x7 do the trick??
2.I want the gorilla center caps for them what size??

2. You need centers that are 3.33" in diameter or less to fit through the center bore of the Cragar Soft 8s.
As an alternative, you can also use OEM Jeep center caps if you're really wanting to keep the "almost factory" look....
All that's required is for you to drill holes to secure the caps.

An 8" wheel isn't a bad idea if you ever plan on airing down your tires for more traction and better ride off road, it will stay on the rim better if/when you go to a bigger tire.
I used the Cragar center caps on my Soft Eights
