Off road on the new Cooper Zeon LTZs

[kodiak]

Mine are 275s. I think you're fine, if it was rubbing you’d definitely hear it.

They're 285/60-18s....Richard, if I recall, you aren't lifted either, right? Is this the same size you're running? Any rubbing?
I just noticed my one pic shows a darker rubber all along the shoulder of the rear tire, like it rubbed on the inner fender....gotta go check that out.......

Hey Kat, did you replace the rear springs on your VX to be able to run those tires? I assume you cranked out the torsion bars.

Neither. Stock / original springs and didn't touch the torsion bars as I wanted /needed it to stay as low as possible so I can get in it...(leg problems). I even kind of worried about the 1.21" increase from the tires, but I can still manage it.

Looks good.

I love that color. I hope to see one in person next Moab.

Did you perform the customary cladding cuts in the front to accommodate the new shoes?

[VX KAT]

I did have to cut the front outer edge of cladding on front, but nothing on rear. Also, here's pics of the tread pattern that's recessed between the tread blocks. I've never seen that on a tire...don't know if it helps with traction but it couldn't hurt.
