That's because they're brand new.

Extremely unfair comparing a used tyre with brand new.

Memory is still not a fair comparison.

The only comparison is side by side, like for like.

What lift height do you have? I just saw Suspension Stuff sells AEV Kits from 3.5inch an above, not their coils. I like your height. My looks lil low, even with 3inch lift, damn and I don't even have the rear bumper/carrier + winch yet :/



Also do you have problems with parking places? I can't fit into one parking place where I used to go, but they have also the lowest limit (1.95). But its getting closer in other park places as well, and I actually planned a roof rack

Kam,
I wouldn't say it looks too low. Looks just perfect to me. Are you going to do a flare mod?

I guess its a taste thing. After bumpers and winch it will be 1/2 inch lower and thats to low for me :/ But I can't really lift it more, need the space for the roof rack, otherwise I am not gonna fit into the most undercover parking places. Guess I have to measure exactly how much room left to fit to the important park places (like mine ^^)

Damn decisions decision.

And nope, no flare mods planned, and no aftermarket flare, don't like any of them :/ Again, taste thing.

I didn't read your post carefully enough, yes the height and stance looks perfect in the photo, but I take your point that there's more mods to go on. You might have to put spacers in, cheaper than new coils.

I'm the same, don't like any of the aftermarket flares. The nearest ones to stock are the Bestop but I haven't seen them up close to vouch for the quality of the finish.

Your tyres will stick out tho, are you just going to risk it? I was considering doing that as well.

My tyres stick out just few mm, you wouldn't notice if you wouldn't know. I think there is more chance to get pulled over because of the size and not the sticking out, in my case.

I was aiming for this result, made lots of research. That's also one of the main reasons I was so after BFG, their 12.5 are narrower then the common 12.5 tyres. That they are so good is just a bonus for me
