Default Skinny tires?

Iam looking for some pictures of jeeps with skinny tires. Any thing 11.5" or less. If you use these tires can you give me any input on them, noise, wear, good in mud or sand. Please post brand and size you are running. Thanks

Also interested in this. Hard to find a decent selection. Would like a solid 33x10 option

Good luck with this topic. Only options are KM2 in 255/80 R17, SuperSwamper variants in 33~35in x 10.5in wide. LTB's and those SSR's which are super heavy and expensive.

Toyo AT2 285/75/17 very quite great off road and look aggressive for a at. They measure exactly 33" when mounted and barley fit the stock carrier. Good price from Tread Depot.

This was my previous jeep. Interco SSR 35s. I really liked them and loved the look as well, but they were difficult to get, didnt balance all that well, and didnt wear all that great. They did however perform very well in mud, snow, whatever. You did feel the lugs coming to a stop pretty bad on them thou. I really like the idea of a narrow tall tire sadly not even people do so there is not much to pick from.

I have 265/75X16 wild country XTX sports and they are very comfortable and quiet and actually E load rated. They are actually made by Cooper in the USA factory

Check out this thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...2-pics-111914/

I will be going with these tires when my stock SRA's are done. I love the skinny tire look of military vehicles and expo rigs.

This x2. Great tire in all types of terrain, even in rain and snow. Mine are like 33 1/4" when mounted and have been wearing even. Talk to the Tread Depot vendor on here, he'll hook you up.
