I'm pretty happy with it so far. Had to do some minor trimming to the bumper end caps and the back bottom of the front fender flares, but other than that no rubbing. Of course, I haven't been on the trail yet.

They all balanced well except for one - which took a 4.50oz weight on the outside lip. Road force balanced and everything, not sure what's going on there. Drives great though.

Seems to be a slight vibration from a dead stop to about 5mph, and I have no idea at all what that could be... bigger tires doesn't change drive line angle, right? Doesn't seem to do it at any other speed.

Anyway, another thumbs-up for Tread Wright from me, I'll post a long term review this winter.

 

What size tire ?

 

31/10.50/r15

 

daily driver? I just put the Backbone 2 in 33 on mine. haven't mud tested them yet, but they look like they're going to be pretty good. Felt good on road too.

 

Looking sharp

 

buddy of mine has those on his 03 dodge with the 5.9 cummins. heavy truck they are wearing decent. 9k miles and look rally newish still. no blow outs no problems. i would consider a set. the price is right.

 

also his are the 33 on 17 in wheel

 

That's because they're mud terrains. Aggressive lugs. Like walking on hardwood in cleats... lol.

 

ya these bad boys howl at speed. I just had the exact same tire but in a 285/75/16 (basically a 33) installed yesterday. Pretty sweet!

 

Did you get the optional Kegde grip? That stuff makes a big difference on the ice. Looks good!

 

Kedge grip causes the tire to wear faster though. Also, i have the same tires!

 

I didn't know that but it makes sense. I just know it really helps on ice. Good to know!

 

Ya it sucks. This is straight out of a pamphlet they sent me: "Kedge grip does decrease the tread life by about 15-20% as the tread surface will be a little softer. It is not recommended for gravel roads due to this. On all other surfaces the extra traction is worth considering!"

 

I didn't bother with the Kedge Grip. I've been driving in snow since I was 16 (27 now) so I figure I can probably handle not having Kedge Grip, however nice it might be.

 

looks very good but I'm biased towards green XJs
lift size?
