In the market for new meats.
Well, the ol ZJ looks like it is gonna need some new rubber
this year. The tires on it now, Michelin LTX M/S (P225-75R15) have lasted well. My driving style is agressive so the outside edge tend to wear smooth, even with rotating the wheels. The ones I had prior were Pirelli Scorpion II P215-75R15 and while they did real well on dry pavement and even snow, they sucked royally on standing water. Then again they are a 1/3 tire (mud, highway, slick) so go figure. :) Shopping for a 225 or maby 235 in a good highway/mix tread style. (mostly the ZJ is on pavement with gravel and dirt making up most of it's "off road" trips. Even thinking of stepping up the rim size to 16-18" to improve cornering while still keeping clearance. Then again it may be time to up the suspension, put on some larger rims, and tuck 30's. :) I dunno. While that would be fun it's also not very useful for the limited off-roading I do these days. Then again that's new R&P in the ever so beefy D35c. Any thoughts? -- DougW |
