Just measured and they are just under 34" x10" only about 7 3/4" of that actualy makes contact on normal roads.

If you want to look a little more aggressive than check out 295/70R18 Nitto Trailgrapplers.. 34.5" x 11.5"

That actually looks really good. One of the benefits of running Pizza Cutters is they weigh less and are suppose to be better in the mud. Much like the WW2 Jeep Willys which came like that from the factory for the German swamps.

Do you have any sort of lift?

Thank you,

Not yet, i just got this jeep only has 600 miles on it, but its the same tires i had on my 08.
Planing on doing a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift with fox shocks or a RK 2.5 stock mod as soon as i can.

I too have been looking for thinner tires. I’m actually surprised there isn’t more of a market out there for such things. When you consider how many pounds per square inch a jeep is spread over a 12.5” tire and how dangerous that is when floatation isn’t desired. Not just for jeeps, but any number 4x4s under 7,000lbs. It seems Interco Tire Corporation is the only ones who have discovered physics. Yet few can afford to run their tires on anything beyond a dedicated trail rig. I fear too many years will go by before high school kids and their fat tires stop ruling the market. Supply and demand I suppose.

255/80/17 KM2s do real well in mud AND pavement. Mine measured at 32.75 as it sits.

I know this is an older post on this thread, but I just wanted to say your rig looks real nice with that set up.
