What size tire?
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

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!
