    Triathlete..
    That sounds like a steal for KM2s..where did u find that price?
    I would be running 33x?x16 ( recommendations 11.5 or 12.5)?
    basically 285/70/16......
    Thanks

    I recommend whatever is bigger and find a way to make it work. Decide exactly what you want and make it happen. I would want 33x12.5 with diff drop brackets or 35x12.5 with some different gears and diff drop brackets but the question is what do you want because whatever that is I am sure you will find a way to make it work.

    Oh and at the 33x12.5 I do not think you can do better in any category than the Nitto Mudd Grapplers, period. Contact Jordan Tire for the best price.

    nice set.. however .. probably "too" agressive for me!.. I would do it .. but my ride is a daily driver to/from work... was thinking of keeping the stockers for to/from town/work.. and throwing on those badboys when needed, however I cant see myself honestly wanting to take those off after the looks I prob would get.. never mind the work involved using a single jack!! lol
    To each his own.. my only trouble is that said.. shes a daily driver for work! Hate putting the miles on..
    Rafters Geo M/T look great too... reading reviews suggests mileage varies depending on ride..
    I am not climbing the Grand Canyon.. but I want too and still have 20 k left!
    lol
    Thanks to all!

    Sorry to say, but...

    285/70/16" won't get you to 33", more like 31.70

    To get to almost 33" you would need 285/75/16" which are about 32.83"...

    The BFG price was either Discount Tire or Tire Rack.

    Off topic???

    I dont really know if this is off-topic/thread jacking because the title is "Tires" so.......


    I am purchasing a set of stock 16" rims and wanted to know what the stock tire size was for the '99s.

    Anyone? Bueller?


    Thanks!

    This should be in the VX knowledge base, but it is not yet:
