I have the same setup that you are talking about (305/65) except with the ProComp 7189's. TF BB on the lift with stock stabilizer. Tire fills up the wells nicely, not to small and not to big. My JK is my daily driver and I drive 1/2 city 1/2 highway. Great wear after 20K or so, can hardly tell. Love the tire, very quiet on the road and looks great on the jeep. I did opt for the full size spare but the tire is a directional tire so not sure how to incorporate it into my rotation schedule.

My lift arrives next week and even though I'm confident in doing the install, Adjusting the castor and Camber might be a job for a professional. I'm assuming that I should plan on adjusting the draglink and then take it to a shop with the new rubber to get it properly aligned?

Ying Yang,
Sorry, Didn't see your post a minute ago. I appreciate the feedback, Just what I was looking for. I plan on ordering a set of five as well. Best Deal i've found on all five delivered is $1763 mounted and balanced on 8179's on tirepackage.com. If anyone knows a better source I'm all ears. Right now Pro comp has an instant rebate on the tires and a buy 3 get one Free on the Wheels.

I also have the full size spare. I went front --> spare --> rear --> front.

Have you had any issues rotating? Any wobbles or anything? I posted a question in the "To Rotate or Not to Rotate" thread. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-talk-26/rotate-not-rotate-how-many-50336/

i ran the extreme A/t on my f150 for almost 2 years. they were great on road and performed very well offroad for an A/T. I would definetly buy them again. when i traded the truck they were still at 75%.

Havent even taken the spare off the tailgate. No wobbles. I have onboard air and keep a plug kit handy but I havent had to repair yet. I have repaired coworkers tho..

Thanks for the link on the rotation.
