Re: tire recommendations?
Oh BTW, I run BFG MT's right now on a 1986 Jeep CJ7 with the 258 and a

and rear. This may sound low but it still isn't really low enough to get
full chalk wear across the tires.

Re: tire recommendations?
My '03 Rubicon says the same on the door, but it came from the factory
