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.

Default 35's First Pic Post!!

Well I finally got the tires and all squared away. Went with 35x10.50 Super Swamper TSL Radials, I am loving the look now. Wheeling this weekend in Uwharrie to test them out.

Good Times. JOE>

Looks good - but just out of curiosity, why 10.5 width as opposed to a 12.5?

Personal preference and to be different or a functional choice you made for some reason?

The argument could be made that he has all the ground clearance benefits of a 35 but with less weight, less intertia to overcome in both acceleration and decelleration, less parasitic drag/rolling resistance, perhaps better fuel efficiency, etc. than a 12.50 or 13.50 tire.

Love the look thats what i plan on rockin soon. It gives it the expedition/land rover look. Did you use wheel spacers too? Post some more pics too if you get a chance.

Looks great, very cool aggressive tire choice. Wish I didn't have snow to worry about otherwise I'd love a more aggressive tire like that.

Enjoy it at uwharrie, was there 2 weekends ago and had a blast. A word of advice, if you go up Dutch John at the first split stay to the left or you will lose some front steering parts further up and then have to back down and go around anyways. Figured I would save you some extra work and headache.

Those are the reasons I chose them as well as aerodynamics and they don't wonder as much as wider tires do. I find the tall thinner tires to work just as well if not better for me. Plus I have factory wheels and they are only 7inches wide so I try not to balloon them out too much like with the wider tires. I do have SpiderTrax Wheelspacers too. JOE>
