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 New Shoes 285/75r17

Had new rubber put on today. Love it! They look huge in person. I have only driven 5 miles but will give my review once I tack some on.

Tires look really good. What size do those actually measure?

Have not measured them out but online they are listed at 34.1" tall. Not sure how close it is. Will pull a tape when I have a chance.

I'm running BDS 2" BB with bilstein shocks and jks track bars front and rear. Had the BDS rear bracket for a couple years but it damaged my old shocks.

So far the tires are way smoother then expected. Not any more rough then factory bfg believe it or not. Maybe smoother. Running at 37 psi. Did have a lose in power but not too bad. Very livable. Will post more pics but why do people blur their plate?

I'm running KM2's with this tire size on stock wheels and 1.5 spacers! I think it looks damn good on the Jeep! At 35psi, it actually measures just above 33"
