I'm in the market for a new set of tires since I blew out one of my mickey thompsons and all I could get my hands on at the time was a cheap pepboys tire to replace it. Those were the MT Baja Radial MTX. 30x10.50.
I've had Michelin LTX A/T before on my Bronco and didn't really have complaints about them at all.
I've been reading reviews on tirerack and it seems like the Goodyear and Michelin are up near the top whereas the BFG is kind of a midrange tire.
I don't really plan to do a lot of offroading and I'm pretty sure all I have is a stocklift.
I do want a tire that can perform in the snow as a snowy locale may be in my future.
So my issue is between the 3 which do I get. If I stay 30x10.50 I can only go with the Goodyear or BFG. They seem to rub a bit when I go over big bad bumps in the road. Haven't noticed them rubbing on the steering yet.
Part of me wants to stick with the 30x10.50 in order to keep the pepboys tire as a spare.
I'd like to get a tire that isn't going to rape my gas mileage also. I upgraded to the XJ from the Bronco partly to get a little bit better mileage and closing the gap is not what I intend to do when buying a tire.
The other size I'm looking at is the 235/75x15 for the Michelin, GY, and BFG
Not sure if it's really a substantial difference from a 30x10.50.
I've heard good things for BFG on XJs. But I've also heard they aren't as round as say a Michelin tire. Don't really know much about Goodyear as I've never driven on them.
Thanks for the advice. :us:
