I ran 35" stts on my Sahara and will most likely replace my 37" km2's with stt. I was very happy with road manners, off road performance in all terrain and wear was excellent.

Soooo many options!!

Working in a tire shop, there are sooo many different tires. But being a newb at the whole offroad/jeep scene. I wanna know what all ya'll think?

My 2010 sahara trail edition is completely stock as of right now. I want to get away from the stock 18's cuz even at my cost 18's are soooo expensive.
My jeep is my DD, so I don't want to go all crazy on mods, but at the same time want it good for mudding and rock climbing (mostly mudding tho).

Thinking of a 2.5'' level kit. But it not being a rubi don't want to go crazy big. What do you guys think? 2.5'' level and 33x12.50R17 toyo m/t or possibly maxxis big horn.. Not too sure yet. What do you guys think!??!?!

like I said, im a total newb haha. But I believe there is not much different besides the badging. But I do know it being a trail edition allows us to go to jeep events strictly for people with trail edition jeeps. I am also in Canada if that makes a difference.

So what have you guys heard of fierce attitude tires? They look like they will handle mud just fine but as far as quality I don't know

Fierce attitudes are alright but as far as long lasting, they leave a bit to be desired. They are their own brand. Customers are happy with them but wish they lasted longer.

I believe all jeeps (including liberty's and Cherokees) have that badge on the drivers side. That is not a special edition badge.

you are right on this and it's a little weird to have them on, it's a jeep I hope it would be rated for trails you know. Oh well just something they thought would look cool I guess I've seen most people remove them
