[JeepCherokeeGuy99]

Like the title says, I'm in need of some new tires. Looking for 32/11.5/15 or 33/12.5/15. I currently have 31/10.5/15 dunlop mud rovers on them now, 2 with 60% tread and 2 that are bald. Let me know what you have! Thanks!

I see you're in pismo, are you romping around the dunes mostly? 12.50 is a heavy ass tire once you go for 33s and up, gunna need a lot of gear to keep from bogging you down in the sand. I run all over in the soft silty spots on my 33x10.50s aired down with no problems.

just a friendly bit of advice. I tired 12.50s and swapped back in a week, I couldn't believe how much of a difference they made to the power I was putting to the ground.

I try my best to stay away from the beach, since i work there anyway and get to thrash state owned fords there instead. But ya i know what your saying. Which is why ideally id like to get 11.5 but money is tight right now so the best deal wins lol

I have 5 32 X 11.5 X 15 BFG All Terrains Spare is new the other four have 95% or better tread. $700.00 for all with road hazard.

what width wheel are you guys running those 33/10.50s. OP probably has stock wheels since he said he has 31s now. with the larger diameter (33) but same width (10.5) would it be ok to run an 8 inch wheel? im kinda in the same boat here.

 

[Johnnie Walker]

OP has aftermarket wheels, but I do not know the width of them.

i have the mickey thompson 15" side biters. http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/newproductpage.php?id=22

 

[2stix]

those are 8 inch wide with a 3.31 backspace. nice wheels. were you running the 31s on those? how did they work with that width?

 

[JeepCherokeeGuy99]

thanks, ya i run them with 31"s right now, soon to be 32 or 33. They work great. Didn't have to change a thing.

id have some 12.5s for ya if I could find some 10.5s to replace them with haha

im running 15x8's, the tire seems like they look a bit over inflated even at 25-30 psi but whatever, i like the way they wheel and handle =)

here's 33x10.50's on 15x8's with 3.75 backspacing and 4" of lift

MaxxXJ can you post a front view pic, want to see how much they hangover on sides, thanks

 

[MaxxXJ]

yeah... lol i'll have to go take a picture of it cuz i think thats the only kind of pics i dont take =)

 

[MaxxXJ]

ok so i lied, i searched thru my pictures and found this one, although i'll take a better one here before the sun fully sets.

 

[MaxxXJ]

believe me i tried to edit my posts but it wouldnt let me, so sorry for so many posts.
heres the better pictures i promised, their a more direct shot and you can actually see how far the back tires stick out, i think it has a pretty good stance

 

[2stix]

perfect. thanks for posting the pics. pretty much made my decission. i like the way they look and the narrow road mating surface should help with power loss and such. was on the fence with 32/11.50 or 33/10.50 but after seeing those i will go with the 33s. just need to decide on gears now, 4.56 or 4.88. i dont do much fwy driving so i think im leaning toward the 4.88s. sorry to get off topic, but you helped me big time. thanks man.

 

[MaxxXJ]

yeah the contact patch on these tires is just the center, ive aired them down to 25 lbs and it still wants to look that way, i didnt want to go any lower because i felt that would compromise my stablilty and roll the tire off the bead. i tell ya what with 3.55 gears i get approx 12mpg in town and 17 mpg mostly fwy with about 40 miles of offroad fire road driving. i cant say my power loss is horrible but it is noticible. if you lived closer i'd show you in person but ur 200 miles away.

you guys are assholes now i want 33 10.5s .... hate you guys <3
