These are my daily drivers believe it or not as keep my 35's for off road. These are 285 70 17 and surprisingly quite on road at least at 60kph anyway

Attachment 62791

Attachment 62792

Seacomms, they were $235 a tyre plus freight plus fitting so worked out to be $290 once on vehicle so still a very good price and their new design

Good tread depth at 15mm so pretty happy overall

Which flares are they? And how much wider then stock, roughly?

[wranglertj]

Liuetenant they are Xenon flat fender flares and 1.25" wider than stock from memory and give good coverage to a 35x12.5x17 tyre with a 17 x 8 rim with 4.5" BS. They dont go past the flare and probably a little more room to go even

How many kilometers you recon you'll get put of them?

Sent from my GT-I9305T

No ideas yet but my JK is mainly used off road and in 6 years it's just done 50000kms so you guess is as good as mine. Hope I can make it to 100000

anyone running the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S or the M/T+?

[Bryceee]

Okay I have bit the bullet and ordered 5 x 265/75r16 Mickey Thompson ATZ - 4 Rib, getting fitted on Sat.

Weird the Tyre place say they don't do aliments on Saturdays.
Anyone think it will be a problem doing 50km before getting the alignment done?

[SeaComms]

No. Only alignment is the toe in anyway. If you current tyres are not overly worn on the inner or outer edges then not a problem. I do it myself anyway - simple as strapping a board to the outer flat section of each front tyre then run a tape measure across the boards. Front of tyres should be 0 to 3mm smaller measurement than the rear. If its out, simply adjust the tie rod length 1/2 a turn or so and remeasure!

Thats all you get for your $60+ wheel alignment....
