I am looking for a bada** tire for my Jeep. I want to run 35x12.5xR15 or R16. Which one would be better for me to get? I drive like 80% Highway (around town really) and 20% Offroad. I like these 2 tires cause they are different and no one around Jackson have a set. Expect Keith the President of CMSJA.ORG. Any input would be appreciated. Plus where can I buy these tires online and get a great deal? Shops around Jackson, Ms will rip you off.

Thanks
Anthony

That is an awful lot of money tied up in a 80% on road jeep.
BUt any way, I would say get whichever style you like best. Will they fit? Do they run a true 35"s? Are your 33's close to rubbing now. I ASSume you won't be doing any trimming...
There are not a lot of dealers selling those tires, maybe check the vendor section of this board?

Oh, and have fun with the 4 banger and a heavy set of 35's.

I have RE 4.5 SF2 Lift. They shouldn't rub at all. I am running 33 right now don't rub at all. There will be no trimming at all. Yes...I believe they are true 35" tires. I have heard so far that Trepador is not out yet....But I will like to get a set.

Thanks

blah blah blah

Quick piece of advice for you.

Lose the sig. When you have all of that crap attached to your posts, you screw up the search function.

I was just in JV for the weekend and 2 rigs I was with were running the 37" Creepy Crawlers. They worked GREAT, held their height well aired down, and totally conformed around any rock. They also are very durable, dozens of JV runs on them and the sidewalls still look near perfect.

Aside from that, they howl like crazy at speed, and they said they would never consider them on a street driven rig. their's were bias ply though, if you can get them in a radial they may be better on the street.
