Ok I'm needing a little swaying here.My 96 XJ now has 6 1/2" lift (R.E.Short Arm, Acos,1" rear block), 4.56 gears D30 front with no-slip, Trussed D35 rear with Super 35 Detroit, Stock steering, factory flares in stock location, front has been trimmed even with top of bumper.Its a 4.0 Auto with NP231.Been running 33x10.50 Radial TSL for about 8k miles on 7" steelies with 4.5" backspace.
I've decided I want a wider tire, so I have on order Cragar soft 8 wheels, 8" with
4" backspace.I think I've narrowed tire choice down to either 33x12.50 Mtr's, or
34x12.50 Trxus MT.Daily driving is about 120 miles a week in So.Calif.Trails I do are in the Mojave desert/El Paso range mainly to get to gold mines with occasional rocks and ruts, and the Sierras mostly fire roads with occasional deep mud spots, roots, and wet rocks going into the hydraulic pits in spring.I like to drive around Big Bear area too for fun both winter and summer.
Which tire should I get?My obsessive compulsive side is making it hard for me to choose :confused1
