JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Yes we have many alternative but in 16" dia. Search for 255 85 16 .
It's the same size but in 16" and you are going to have more choice like toyo,interco trxus,interco ssm16 ,and they are a bit less $

Back from the dead...lol. I love this size tire. Seems most of the pics are of rubicons which will have the 4.10s. Anyone with 3.21s that'll give a report on how they affected drivablility? I want to go this route on my DD which sees 250 highway mile a week.

Hey I am new to the jeep world this may have been answered. I want to know do these tires ride rough being a E-rated tire? Does is effect the performance like the other 33 inch tires? I really like this size.

The E rated tires (nearly any and all) are not as forgiving on the trail.. made for the commercial type market.. meaning highways street travel.. these tires are stiff.. Yet, it's very hard to locate a good crossover tire which has as many plys and still offer some flex while on the trail. We'll be going from a C rated tire to a D rated tire which offered a bit more flex over the E rated tire. but the other reason.. while checking these tires.. its becomes apparent that the D or E tire can withstand heavier loads.. as compared to the C tire.. So if you're going to trail.. best stay C or maybe even a D rated tire.. and leave the E for the highway.

They ride almost exactly like the original Mud Terrains that came on my Rubi. I can't tell a difference. They are outstanding off road, too.

What PSI do you have your tires? do they wear evenly when you lower the tire pressure?

Would BFG KO be a better tire than the KM2? I plan to do Ouray and Moab this next June.
