Tires for CJ7 Mudding
I'm going to be getting some new rubber for my '85 CJ7 but I'm a little
unsure what to get. I use the Jeep for cruising around the city - altho it
isn't my daily driver it will see a good bit of pavement. It will likely be
used in the winter as well ...so rain/snow/ice would be nice but not a big
necessary. As for the offroading stuff ...I'm not into rockcrawling at all
....just muddy trails. I know crawlers require fat tires for more surface
grip but I've heard mixed opinion about mudding. Some say fat is good
....other say skinny is good. I don't want anything too skinny (I don't want
it to look like a Unimog ;p) but I also don't want to modify the Jeep
chassis/suspension/axles at all. It's all stock under there and I plan to
keep it that way. Therefore ...I know the max is 31x10.5x15 ...so what would
you guys recommend for size and tire? I've been leaning toward either
31x10.5 or 31x9.5 BFG Mud Terrains but any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: Tires for CJ7 Mudding
My BFG mud terrains get me through twice as much as my daughter's all
terrains, wether it's sand, rock or mud, and supprisingly they are a lot
quieter on the road then what came with the jeep.
