I don't wear shoes.
Cool sneaks for your ZJ would be BFG All-Terrains or Bridgestone Revo's.

What 37" tire would handle well in dry weather, let alone rain?  If it's mostly a street Jeep, then I wouldn't get anything over a 31 and in an All-Terrain pattern. Anything over that and sidewall flex starts to factor in. |

Doug, what backspacing on the wheels are you using to clear the 33x12.5 MTRs for your rig?
Did you need to get wider flares for inspection?

Thnx Kodi, I meant to address both of you re: your ride...
_______________________________
In addition, I think that I'm going to get a set of the BFG 33x10.50s MTs for my ride in the near future. Right after I spec a D44 with discs, selectable locker and one piece axles. (Hey Lou get ready!!!)
My thought process is that I don't have to get new wheels right now and I still get the ground away from the dragable and breakable stuff. The tires are also lighter than the 12.50s so the brakes don't have to work as hard when I tow and during my 120 mile daily commute...
Thanks

ChrisL Backspacing: The distance, usually measured in inches, from the wheel mounting surface to the inside edge of the tire mounting surface at the inside rim of the wheel. Example: A 15x8 wheel with 2" of backspacing will stick out further than a 15x8 wheel with 4" of backspacing. |
