| Goodyear MT/R's on AR 767 Rockcrawlers |
| Goodyear MT/Rs I decided to go with MT/Rs for several reasons. Since this is my daily driver, I wanted my Jeep to ride nice on the road. The MT/Rs weren't a bad price at $154 ea. I like the fact that the MT/Rs are super sticky, not to mention the bad ass sidewalls. I went with the 32x11.50's since they stuffed into the fender flares perfect on T-Nutz. I didn't think I would have enough room for the 33x12.50's w/out a 1" body lift. The MT/Rs were also a good deal since I could buy them at a Goodyear Tire Center on their credit card getting 6 months same as cash with a $50 rebate. That was a deal I just couldn't pass up. |

| American Racing 767 Rockcrawlers I went with these wheels for several reasons. (1) They're cheap as hell at $34 each, (2) if I bend the bead on a rock I can just hammer it back in place, (3) the all black look is fuckin sweet!!! The only thing I don't like about these wheels are the stupid red and blue stripes. I think I'll just paint over them whenever I get around to it. I still need to sand and paint the chrome center caps black and install them on the wheels. |

| Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' After my first run with these tires and wheels I only have one major complaint. I should have gone with the 33x12.50's!!! The MT/R's overall diameter runs small compared to other tires. The 32's actually measure 31.5" and the 33's are 32.4". My old 31" BFG MT's were 30.9", so I only went up half an inch in tire size, only getting 1/4" more ground clearance and taking up 1/4" in the fender wells. I just didn't think I could fit the 33's since the 32's looked perfect on T-Nutz and CandyAss. But since my 2" lift sits higher than CandyAss's 2 1/2" lift, I guess it would probaly work. The main thing I would be worried about is the tires rubbing the edge of the fender flares. But I could always get a 1" body lift. Having the undersized 32's isn't that bad, at least my gas mileage won't drop much. I also got some chrome wheel caps, which I plan to sand down and paint black to match the wheels. Another thing I need to get are some rubber spacers/washers to keep the spare tire in contact with the tailgate. One good thing is that the spare doesn't cover the 3rd brake light and it doesn't hit the rear bumper, so no need for a relocating bracket. When I find some rubber spacers, I'll post the info on what to use and where to get them. Suggestions? |

| Bad Ass Meats These tires are probably the best "all around" tire you can buy. I've put mine through hell in mud, rock, sand, snow and they have never let me down. They're radials so they work good on the street, although they wear out faster than most other tires cause they're so soft. Since they're soft, they are pretty smooth off-road and suck up a lot of the rock and tree roots you run over. Also, the softness helps keep their punture resistance high with out have 10 ply sidewalls like some of the Super Swampers. And since they don't have 10 plys, they don't weigh as much, have the same affect your gear ratio, or cause as much strain on your axles and drivelines. |

| After almost 3 years and 40k miles of rolling over every kind of terrain and condition known to man, I have replaced these with BFG MT 33x12.50's. The MT/R's still have 50% tread left, but I needed to try and sell them while they're still good. The only reason for going back to BFG is longer wear. |
