#4 of 198 Re: P215/75R15 RBL Wrangler All Terrain Tires In Snow [erickpl] by skyking49 Oct 27, 2006 (7:20 am)
Replying to: erickpl (Oct 27, 2006 5:05 am) I live in Connecticut but plan on going anywhere I can. As noted these are all Terrain Tires. I plan on going out when most folks are staying home. Its the best time to drive in the snow IMHO. Hell, I had an old VW with the engine in the back and I could do just about anywhere with it. I plan on driving on unplowed roads etc. I bought the Jeep for this reason. My friends have said I should be able to go just about anywhere with my stock tires but I wanted opinions from other Jeep owners. I don't think I will be driving in more than 10 to 12 in. of snow. I always thought that Jeeps could do the job. My wife is from Ft. Kent Maine and I plan on taking a trip there too. Replies to this message: erickpl (Oct 27, 2006 7:21 am)

Replying to: skyking49 (Oct 27, 2006 7:23 am) I see nothing about them being GSA's. Would that be be on the tire? On the tires it just says Goodyear Wrangler AT/S. Replies to this message: mac24 (Oct 27, 2006 8:27 am)

Replying to: skyking49 (Oct 27, 2006 8:07 am) Neither tire is anything special really, and I don't have personal experience of the AT/S, but I would suspect that it would do a better job in the snow than the GSA would.     AT/S Details     GSA Details

I know the BFG 31"x10.50" AT tires are the crowd favorite of this forum but I want to know if I can go a little wider. After doing the conversion (as found on quadratec's website) I found a rough equivalent to a 31"x12.50" tire made by BFG... LT325/60R15. Here is a link to the website:    http://www.quadratec.com/jeep_knowledgebase/article-15.htm    31" diameter will obviously fit, if it's getting recommended to stock wranglers all over this forum. What mods, if any, need to be done to accomodate the extra 2" of width in the tires I want? I know backspacing plays a large role, as told by Tom in another post to this forum this past spring. Will just a new rim with different backspacing do the trick? or will fenders need to be trimmed?    Thanks, Jackson Replies to this message: tsjay (Nov 12, 2006 5:16 pm) erickpl (Nov 13, 2006 6:12 am) diegotexera (Jan 08, 2007 6:11 pm)

Replying to: eastcoastdiver (Nov 12, 2006 1:29 pm) Jackson, I answered this question over there in the other forum (forget now which one it was) where you asked it.   Tom Have you hugged your Jeep today?   P.S.   OK, it was "DIY Mods for Under $500" where you asked the ame question and where I posted a reply.

Replying to: eastcoastdiver (Nov 12, 2006 1:29 pm) Jackson, things you can do to fit wider tires:   - adjust steering stop (www.4x4xplor.com/steerstop.html) - wheels with smaller backspacing (stock is 5.5") - add wheel spacers (like SpiderTrax) - combination of all the above   Things you can do to fit taller tires: - flat fenders - Trim fenders a bit - suspension lift - body lift - combination of all the above   -Paul
#12 of 198 Highway tires for a Wrangler by oldgoat2 Nov 23, 2006 (4:39 pm)
I have a question that is a different twist on tires. I am not interested in off-road capabilities. My daughter has a 2005 Wrangler, and she wanted it for looks - - not off road abilities. Yes, impractical, but daughters have a way of convincing Dad of things. So, it came with 215/75R15 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires that are pure garbage. They have been prone to hydro-planing since day one, and are now showing serious tread loss after just 11,000 miles. Probably good that they are worn-out, because they need to be replaced, My question, what is a good quality tire to get as a replacement? I am in Houston, so now neither mud nor snow matter. I want a good wet traction tire that also wears well, quiet, and looks 1/2 way appropriate on a Jeep - - maybe go slightly wider than what I have now. Ideas? Tiretrack general top rated tires does not seem to recommend for Jeep. General Grabber UHP, Kumho Road Venture HT, Yokohama Geolander H/T-S GO51???
