Is this guy from eBay by any chance, when yes, whats the username.

Don't forget to prepare yourself for 35s, book in for re gearing and stuff (even if its rubicon) It drives like a donkey on 35s ^^

Horseshit ! I've run 35s' for 4 years now and they are fine on a Rubi.

Ask JKtom about his recent experiences in this area!!

That said, I am not knocking this particular tyre, just commenting on the stronger sidewall argument for our lighter vehicles.

Your lighter vehicle maybe.
KM2s & MT/Rs are both D rated. By stronger sidewalls I'm sure he is referring to the Kevlar reinforcement.
My JKU Rubi is well over the STD weight. Front & Rear Steel Bars, Winch, Aux Battery,EVO Rock Skins, Evo Sliders, EVO Rockstars, Terflex 4" lift with Full 8 adjustable Control Arms, Currie Correct link Drag Link & Tie Rod Flip. 16" steel wheels fitted with 315X75/16 GoodYear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar etc,etc..
It rides awesome and it wheels. I don't need advice from somebody with a 2" lift and more time behind the computer than the steering wheel.

Tojoconvert - the comment I made wasn't given to you and your "well over standard weight JKU Rubi", it was referring to the stiffer ride from E load rated tyres in reply to Postal, who unlike you appears to have a reasonably stock 2 door Rubi with 2in lift..

As for the personal attack for comments that were not even for your, that was totally uncalled for. You do not know me and have no idea on my mechanical, onroad/off road or computer history; and quite frankly they are none of your business.

I don't give a shit. So far I have not seen anything to suggest that you are an expert. 4000+ posts has to be a record. Of mostly copied info from US sights. I am an engineer and have 30+ years of experience. I'm just sick of going on to a forum that I used to respect and seeing so much crap. Sorry if I offended you but people are asking real questions, not just is this maybe legal or not. If it wasn't legal no one would drive a Jeep.

I wanted to have the white letters inside, but unfortunately I totally forgot to tell them before fitting No problem, I will change it soon.

Hi Kam
When did you put the order in with Stu for the 35 km2's and when did you have them fitted. I am still waiting for my spare, close on 12 weeks now! All paid for!
Cheers Dean
