I need new tires, and am currently running BFG AT 31x10.5R15 on the stock steel wheels on my 96XJ. It's a 5 speed with 3.55 gears - XJ D44 w/ Aussie in back and D30 in front. I'm at about 4" of lift measuring from axle center to flare. It's my daily driver.
I like the BFG AT's, but am looking for something a little more aggressive off-road, while having good road manners. I'm thinking of keeping the 31" size based on my gearing and rims.
I'm thinking of going with Mickey Thompson MTZ's to get more traction off road.
I like the idea of going to 33s, but think they would require different rims (or spacers) and lower gears. The only thought there was maybe BFG's either AT or MT (maybe with sipes) in the 33x10.5R15 size...
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike
PS where's the best/cheapest place to get MTZs from?
