Question New tires for my '98 Wrangler Sahara
 

Hello all... I have not seen this answered before:

I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the (original factory Goodyear)
30" wheel option. The tires are now a bit worn down and I am looking
for new tires.

1. What is the biggest (and fattest) tire I can install on the same
wheels? I heard something about a 31" will fit. I don't want to do the
lifting bit... just want something cool looking!

2. What are the best tire manufacturers for the jeep?

3. If I have to replace the flares, no problem. Any downside to
upgrading the tire size like fuel economy, stability, etc.?

4. With bigger tires, do I need the speedometer & odometer adjusted?
Each turn of the wheel will cover a slightly longer distance, won't it?

I'm partial to BF Goodrich, and the 31 11.50 X 15 T/A KO, should
work great, and so close to your 30" I doubt you would notice slight
cost in economy because of the added weight, the speedometer my even be
a little more accurate. Consumers Survey:

First of all I'd suggest you tell a bit about your intended usage of the
vehicle.
Though all women claim, size doesn't always matter ;->
