Suggestions for new tires?

(1/6) > >>

BlacXJeep:
Looking to buy a new set sticky tires for the XJ to kick off the spring wheeling season. It looks like I'm not gonna be able to start building a YJ for a bit, so I will be trying to get the XJ up to snuff. I will be putting a locker up front and just running 33s, this way I won't need to re-gear or bother with upgrading the axles. Not to mention i won't need to bumpstop anymore or cut fenders. My budget for 4 tires in the 33x12.5R15 flavor is about $1000 shipped. Right now I am looking at the BFG KM2s, anybody have suggestions?

WillC:
The KM2's are a good choice but they are not "sticky" tires. Goodyear MTR are nice also and a bit cheaper.

Bill3753:
The MTR/k's are very nice.  Andrew has them on his XJ if I remember correctly and he's done great.

Considering your XJ is not a daily driver, I would seriously think about using either radial IROK's or radial Pitbull Rockers.

Both can be had in the size your thinking about and if you watch around for a deal in the price range your talking about too.

Flex:
i agree with bill but also consider a TSL in a radial flavor also.

Mr Rock:
Personally, I do not like the Pit Bull's, I have seen them in bigger versions and they don't seem to flex very well.

just my two cents
