are you asking although you already have them installed??? im really confused
 
The tires themselves are great. The rims are kinda blingy, but if you mainly do desert type stuff, should be fine. I wouldn't run them, but I wheel tight trails and rocks.
 
Tires are great for about anything short of hardcore rock crawling. The rims are way to fancy for my tastes. I run Crager Soft 8s. But I don't have a desert to run in.

They work great in/on anything that's NOT slick.
 
well i was just wondering...i saw these tires and wheel at a small discount tire shop...privately owned. I asked the guy how much for the tires and he just said $700. I said no thanks and he dropped it down to 650...I asked him how much it would be for the wheels included and he said it was already in the 650!!! I knew he had no idea what he had so I told him 600 and I would be out the door! SOLD!! Dumb ass!! haha i guess one man's loss is another mans gain!!! Just wanted to know how good of a deal it trully was. Thanks guys, I googled the Rims and they seem pretty expensive...they look really nice too! I'll take some pics of them on the Heep when I get the chance, thanks guys!
 
with these tires, you should consider what you're gonna do with it. if it hardly ever gets on the pavement then you could go mud tires. these AT's absolutely SUCK in slick sticky mud. ....not mudholes, but like sloppy logging roads and stuff. they dont clean out till they're turning like 15-20mph.
...butttt.....if you DD the jeep and take it on several different surfaces and stuff, then they're great. just keep in mind that they are ALL terrain, which means they do pretty decent in all types of surfaces.
but my $.02: AT's+mud=:puke::puke:
it's all about your situation.

Now that I know where we are... I know nothing of Incubus wheels, but I am not at all impressed with BFG TA/KOs (I have them in 33s). They are worthless in mud and I couldn't maintain traction on a rocky, dirt hill climb that I thought I should just fly right up (35% grade +/- at 33 PSI). I would think that they would be great on slick surfaces (light snow, ice, slick rocks). For MILD offroading they are good, but if you are planning on going up more than a 10% grade I would look into something a little more aggressive. There are plenty of siped MTs on the market now that have good street manners and better-than-good offroad manners.

As far as road wear... keep them rotated and they will last 50k miles. Great street tires. Great for mild off road. Stay out of mud.

FYI: the Baja Claw is a tire by Micket Thompson.
