I've been researching that swap for a while. I don't like diving into stuff blind. LOL. Most people shun away from them cause they are 16.5 but with the runflat ring in the center I believe they can be aired down quite a bit. Plus the takeoff military tires are Cheap compared to other tires. http://www.militaryoffroadtires.net/...fault.aspx#C43

Default Tire comparison

I'm looking at two sets of tires in 32x11.50 r15 right now. The first set is the Cooper Discoverer STT, and the second is the Hankook Dyna MT. I know they're both great tires, but the Coopers are a good bit more expensive than the Hankooks?

Any thoughts?

What tires should go on 15x8 wheels? I want to get 32s BFG A/T KOs. What dimensions should I get?

32x10.50xr15 is what will fit that rim if that's what you're asking.

Although I'm not sure if they make 32's for a 15" rim.

There are BFG A/T KOs that are 32x11.50x15. These should work right?

How many miles would you say you have on them? I'm worried the coopers will wear faster than the Hankooks

Default Different lifts front and rear

What's the purpose of people having different sized lifts on the front vs the back? Is this just find-what-you-can and throw it on, or do people buy them like that?

Could the fact that my front left is a 32 and my front right is a 33 be causing a death wobble

I don't think it's causing it, but it's certainly not helping
