| BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM 33"x12.50" |
| Back to the BFG MT's I never thought I would go back to the BFG MT's, although they were a great tire way back when I had 31's. But the Goodyear MT/R's got down to 50% tread remaining, so I had to get rid of them while they were still goodt. I was hoping to be ready to put the Stage 3 lift on by now and upgrade to 35" tires, but I've got a kid now, so I needed some tires that would still kick ass off road but not wear out too fast since my Jeep is a daily driver. Fortunately, BFG updated the design of the MT to the KM, with more side biters for better traction and puncture resistance. Hopefully I can get at least four years out of these suckers!! I got the wheels and tires from 4Wheel Parts for about $900 with a full replacement warranty. This is a great thing to have when you're off-roading, but I've never had any problems with flats (knock on wood!!) I decided not to get the matching spare, the 32" MT/R will get me out of trouble if I ever need it. UPDATE: due to extreme stupidity, I ended up needing to get the matching spare. |

| A Little Body Lift Most people will tell you that you can't fit 33's on a 2" lift, but I have no problem fitting the BFG MT's on my TeraFlex lift, at least for on-road driving. I'm sure I'm going to have some rubbing when I start flexin and stuffing the tires in the fender wells. I'm sure I can take care of this probelm with a 1" body lift. Although I despise body lifts, 1" shouldn't be too bad. I'll probably go with the Currie 1" body lift and 1" motor mounts to help clear up some of the driveline vibrations I have. UPDATE: Yep, the new meats rubbed like a mofo.........see Currie body lift installed here. |
