Bigger Tires - question
 

Gang,

I'm looking to upgrade & put 31-10.5's on my 98 TJ. What is the tire of
choice here? My mechanic told me he could get me a good deal on Dunlop A/T
Rovers ($95/tire) but I know very little about them. I off road from time to
time, not a lot. Is this a good deal or should I pay the extra $$$ for
something better?

I was also told bigger tires would rub. Is this true & how is it correctable,
if so? And is there anything else I should know while upgrading?

I'm sure this subject has been done to death, so I apologize ahead of time &
appreciate any comments.

Thanks in advance.

31 x 10.5 are a bolt-on on TJs. Issues are slight sidewall to front, lower
control arm contact at full lock (minor) and drivability w/ 3.07 gears. As
for a tire, I'd skip the Dunlops and go for BFG All Terrain KOs.

Bridgestone makes a Dueler AT Revo with a new compound that's makes
them grip better as they get older, especially in rain&snow. Good
tire.
