aquiring93 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So I decided to just go with the Hell Creek 1.75" front coil spacers and I was wondering what the biggest tire I can use is without any rubbing or bottoming out. Thanks for the help y'all. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 you still might have some minor rubbing on the control arms (with stock rims) or fenders (aftermarket rims) when the steering is at full lock. WJ arms can cure the former. Trimming the later. or you can ignore it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 just the lowers. the WJ arms have a bend in them to clear the tires and only need minor mods to install. MT or AT is entirely a preferential thing. all my Jeeps have a manual trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW86 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 if you run the roads a lot, get ATs. if your offroad a lot, get MTs. simple as that but really you can do whatever you want. ATs will give you good on road manners and some offroad traction. MTs will give a loud hum on the road and wear faster (some say) but give great off road traction. if you just keep the MTs at a decent psi and make sure it stays aligned, they'll do fine on road.

dasbulliwagen Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 If you go all terrain, one of the best tires, especially for the price would be the Yokohama Geolander A/T. They are highly rated, and very nicely priced, especially at http://www.tirerack.com . I have a set of them on my Hyundai Tucson, and plan on buying a set for the MJ next spring in either a 31 or a 32. Good luck, let us know what you end up with.

Incommando Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 If you need an M/T, only an M/T will do. If the conditions you wheel in do not require them, A/T's are probably a better bang for the buck IMHO. - M/T's generally perform less then great on wet or snow covered pavement or on ice ( none of which may be an issue where you live) with a few exceptions. Their large void areas and lugs that generally have little or no siping are the reason. - M/T's are generally louder than A/T's if that is an issue for you. Blame those same large void areas for cupping air and slamming it against the pavement in simplistic terms. - in the same size M/T's generally weigh more than A/T's effecting a number of performance items - in the same size M/T's generally cost more than an A/T However, even the aggressive A/T's tend to suck badly when it comes to muddy trails or pure mud. Anyone who says a BFG or Yoko or Nitto A/T do well in mud hasn't been in the kind of mud to which I am referring. Remember many of the off-road rags are Kali-based and that area is not known for mud. JP or a silmilar rag once did a "mud tire comparo" using a two-car length section of ditch along side of a parking lot... :roll: A 31" tire only gives up 1/2 of an inch to a 32" tire in actual ground clearance as 1/2 of the difference is above the axle centerline at ay given time. 31x10.5 is a good choice for a smaller lift I think.

AMCJeepMJ Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 MTs do give quite a hum from my experience. I would stick with ATs unless you do a lot of wheeling in soft ground. On the flip side, the MTs have way cooler tread patterns and look a lot tougher than ATs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what 1200 watt amplifiers and 48 inch speakers are for. And the portable generator mounted in the bed. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquiring93 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Going from 225/75 to 30/9.5 how much of a height difference will that be if any at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 All that information is on http://www.tirerack.com. Pick out the tires you want to compare and then look at the specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
