codybutz Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hey guys this might be a little off topic sorry about this. i'm having trouble deciding on some new tires for my lifted xj. the xj is used as a d/d, for camping, at off road parks, and mostly on old logging trails. At first i was looking at the bfg km2's, and the pro comp x-terrains and now ive been leaning towards the bfg all-terrains. I need some help with choosing my tires. whatever the tire they will be on cragar soft 8's 15 x 8 with 4" of back spacing. and for tire size i'm thinking 32x 11.50. any advice would be great, thanks guys - cody
Darren Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I have the X-terrains on my MJ. In the 35" flavor. Performance has been good and I've been impressed with how they've held up.
Pete M Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 all-terrains and mud don't mix well. :thumbsup:
codybutz Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 ya i know they don't self clean at all. I do use the jeep to get to and from the trails and i'm worried at how well the mud tires will wear on the street. i would say the jeep is driven on the street and trails equally as much, and would like a happy medium.
DJM/78 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 The AT . tires are also a much harder rubber compound , with more of a rough ride than the softer compounds . They will last you longer , but for more aggressive traction off road , mud , loose sand , ext. I would go with the BFG , mud terrains . plus a smoother ride . I am using the BFG AT"s now but I want a set of mud terrain's for off road use . However where I live, there is allot of pavement to rock roads, with pot-holes the size of a VW out here and they have held up great . I guess its just personal preference . :thumbsup:
Pete M Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 with a proper alignment and frequent rotations a quality mud tire should wear just fine. they just need a bit more attention. :thumbsup:
