Re: what kind of tires should i get
I'd have to agree on this one. The BFG AT's are great tires if you're doing
mosty highway daily driver duty but lack in some offroad conditions. They
last forever though. I got about 40k miles on a set and they were still good
when I moved to MT's. I've used BFG MT's on 3 YJ's over the years. Not only
do they last a long time, they are great offroad. On road they make a lot of
rumble but I personally like that.

Re: what kind of tires should i get
your getting lots of great input, tirerack.com has some nice side by
side comparisons on the bfg at/ko but as it has been said "where are
you going to spend your time" highway,sand,mud ect..and be honest with
your self everyone loves a tire with 4inch rubber **** but you have to
take into acount tire ware. as well as ride . with 35s you must have a
lift,so is it for articulation (rocks and trees ) or mud.

inches of lift that SoA gives me of get 2 more inches from leafsprings?
