Re: What size tire?
Hi John,
I think you'll be just putting them on for looks, the extra weight will knock the heck out of your highway speed as you already know, you went from a top speed of maybe ninety miles an hour to about seventy on the level, tops with a tail wind. As my Brother-in-law will attest: http://home.att.net/~taschers/beach03.jpg Your thirty inch should will work great, have you let the air out to five pounds for sand, and ten pounds for rock.

Re: What size tire?
I suspect you have 3.07 gears because AFAIK 4.10 was only a Canadian option.
Going to 31's may be liveable but 32's won't be for sure. I went from235/75 to 31's with a fresh 4.0L and I find it fairly sluggish. P.S. never sell a power tool to facilitate a purchase, auction off a kidney or something but never sell a power tool! -Brian (wants a lathe) <scopenutt@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1106122418.867045.47540@z14g2000cwz.googlegro ups.com... > Well i bitt the big one, today, after selling my lathe, i bought > my 2.5 lift kit and a winch, for my 90 YJ, > so now im after some info on tires, ive been running the tires off my > truck, all-terrain raidials, 30 inch, > now half worn out and proven to be crap on a steep slope,,grin > , > so my question, > im going after BFG all terrain "KO's" on my stock rims for now, and as > i do alot of street and plan to play hard on the weekends, here in > rainy washington, > , > with my jeep being stock gearing, 2.5L(aka-little mice)4banger, > standard trans, and a weak diff, > can i go up to 31"s or 32"s and still be able to use 5th gear on the > highway, without opening the doors for extra wind power? > and still be good in 4Low on the trail? > , > going after the tires this weekend so any help would be helpfull, > (before the wife finds the stash and buys a TV. > > thanks, > johnp > |
