Re: Last tire question, I promise
If you are going to hauling and/or off-roading a lot, obviously you should
get the C's. The specs on the tire show that the C rating also has a
slightly deeper tread. However, I have the SL's and they are still a mighty
beefy tire. I didn't plan on hauling or much off-roading, but went with the
"softer" tire to improve ride quality. I also went with the stock 225/75 15
which didn't come in a C rating, making my decision easier. The 235 series
does offer the choice, but with highway driving, I feel the 225 series feels
a little more sure-footed, with less body roll and a better road feel. But
keep in mind, I wasn't setting my YJ up for the trail. I wanted it to
perform crisply and predictably at highway speeds.

Ok.
So it's just easier to buy 5, and give the three that are good to someone
who can use them.

Thanks yet again.
