I LIKE my new 31" MT/R's!
 

I got a chance to do some shootin' and wheelin' and huntin' all on the same
afternoon... wanted to check zero on a couple lever-guns, then played around a
bunch on my new MT/R's, and then ran into some grouse (only season open) and
gave chase sans dog, but still got 2 of 'em. Mmmmm, grouse. Anyway, I was
really digging the new 31's, as much because I seem to have crossed some sort
of threshhold as because of the more aggressive tread than my 30" BFG AT's.

What I mean by crossing a threshhold is that my approach and decent angle
seemed to have increased all out of proportion to the 1/2" higher i am sitting.
I never whumped the gas tank once, and I was climbing and trying to climb some
stuff that whumped me hard in the past. The clearance i have now also seems
like way more than just 1/2" more. At any rate my moderatly built (31's,
4.10's, Tru-Track LSD's front and back, winch) "little" Tj was doing great.

You may be sitting more like an inch taller since your old 30" tires
were worn and the new 31" tires have all the tread there...which means
less whumpin'.
