In the process of putting 60s under my xj. Lockers front and rear. 5.13s. Hi steer. Hydro assist. Front and rear disc brakes. Trying to make my mind up on tires now. I was thinking 37 irok radials then i started looking at 40s in a bias ply and they are actually cheaper. Just don't want to buy 37s and want to go bigger or 40s and wish i had 37s.

Not a dd. I'm sure I'll drive it on the road occasionally though just to get it out of the garage.

Opinions?

I don't care for Iroks. They work good when they are brand new but pet a few miles on them and they are OK for rocks but in mud they become a drag slick. I ran 36s on a yota and hated them. I love my bias TSLs and even bald they still seem to find some grip.

I've wondered about tsl's.. No one around here runs them. alot of boggers though.

Pitbull rockers?

What is your planned use for the Cherokee? If you are planning on rocks only the pitbull rockers are great, but not very good for wheeling in deep snow. Have you thought about going with a 38x14.5 r17 BFG KM2 they work good on rocks, mud, and do great in deep snow. If you've got the money you could go for the Krawler T/A KX in a 37, 39, or 40, but they wear real fast.

depends what you want, more clearance and rolling resistance, or less unsprung weight and a more streetable tire

40's every time someone I know has been looking at two sizes of tires and end up with the smaller of the two they always regret it.

Nickell586

mostly trails. Hills slate rock mud logs. Bit of everything. Not much heavy snow. I was more worried about clearance but i would like to keep the weight down a bit if i can. It won't be driven on highway. Maybe to work occasionally but that's all back roads. I just don't want a rig that's strictly a trail rig.

id definitely run pitbull rockers before km2.. not a big fan of those tires.. and theyre like 600+/tire.. **** that.

xjmarc

The pitbulls take a decent amount of wheel speed to clean out in mud and a 4L usually doesn't have enough for that. That and they are very heavy. I've run TSLs in about 6 different sizes and love them. In larger sizes they can be fun to balance but that's true with most tires. I have no weight on mine and mounted them myself and run 55 with no problems but I got real lucky.

You guys got any take on the Toyota Open Country against the Wrangler Duratrac?

xj_maniac_newb

You mean toyo open country? I would just start another thread bud, no need to clutter this one with people bickering on how their duratracs are better the toyos but the toyos last longer. Because im sure thats what it'll turn into.. it always does lmao

Nickell586
