265/70/16 A/T Tires

****EDITED: NEW PICS 4/3/2006*****
Also, I had my tires SIP'ed.."as the tread rolls forward the tread blocks tend to squirm back and forth the small cuts in each tread block are sipes. They create another biting surface when the tread squirms and assist in the evacuation of water. To prevent side to side squirm, Michelin engineered the sipping into a wavy interlocking pattern, decreasing heat build-up and lateral stability." It's suppose to gain about 5-7% increase in traction. I havn't had a problem during rainy days.

JUST MADE IT PAST THE TIRE

As posted in the Tire/Wheels Forum I recently got a new set of tires. I got a good 1" of lift from it (30.7 compared to 29.6). The pictures were taken with my camera phone, sorry about the quality.

Looks good, Phil. Next time I need tires, I'm getting larger than 245/70.
What brand did you get?

 

[MoladoGuy]

I picked up some Pathfinder Destination A/T's (they're a side brand of Goodyear). I'll be posting updates after some mileage is put on them. I've seen some good reviews, and also had experience with them (friend had them on his previous jeep).

So far so good, slight rubbing up in the front at full lock backing up, but that is it. I'm going to *maybe* do some trimming, or a slight Clevis lift will help.

Nice looking tires, aggressive look.

I saw a KJ parked on the street today with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires.

I know the silent armor would do its justice on the trail, however I don't even see trails (driving by) let alone plan to jump on one anytime soon. However, I did want the available off-road capability for the snowy weather, and the occassional run to the sand dunes!!

I fitted my jeep with 1 of the Silent Armor and it looked good but didn't convince me (for the price too).

I've got the wrangler silent armors on my TJ and love them. They work well in the mud and snow and look awesome. Plus they seem to be wearing better then the GSA's but then I can't say my father was the best about rotations and checking pressure. Even when I checked the pressure often the outter tread on the GSA's wore funny.
