Re: My car is a piece of shart
My car, on the other hand, is not a POS, so I will leave now.
I was wondering... I guess since it went to a junkyard it is technically a POS but it's not yours anymore.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
Thinking about replacing the 225/75/R16 all weathers that came on my Wrangler with some Bridgestone Dueler all terrain 265s. The current tires are just too dinky looking - they look like they'd be more at home on a Volkswagen Beetle.
Tough to find a good price up here, though. Place I visited wants $765 for 4, free installation, plus free rotations every 5000 miles. Think I can do better?

The all weathers or the all terrains?
I have the Goodyear Wrangler all weathers right now. 225/75/R16s. Nice tires, but they're just too dinky for a Jeep.
The newer Jeeps can take a huge tire without a lift. I've heard of people managing to cram 285/75s onto them with no problems
Heck, the Rubicon comes with 255s stock.
Looked at Blizzaks, but those wear too fast in non-winter conditions. Guy said as soon as you hit 42 degrees they wear twice as fast as normal.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
I have Bridgestone 265/75/R16's. They're beefy.
You could try tirerack.com. They have decent prices but you have to find a place that will install them obviously. I know a guy who did that for his Lexus.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. 255/70/R16. If you need more info than that I'm about as useful as tits on a fish. I paid about $520 installed. Obviously you're going to pay more because you're in Alaska.
On my prior Ranger I had Firestones that lasted 43K and Dunlops that only went 38K. I'd never buy a set of either brand again. The last set I had on the old Ranger was a set of Wranglers, and that's all this one has had, too. I'm not inclined to change.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
If you want a big, beefy looking tire, look at the mud tires. Given what you're saying about 285/75, I would think you can go 32x10.5R16 without any worry. Talk to a tire guy, though. The last time I worked in a tire shop it was 1999 and I was a month from graduating.The all weathers or the all terrains?

I believe that to be the standard tire size on a stock 95-99 Ford F-150, and also the upgraded Ranger size. The only truck that ever took them were the Fords. Chevy 1500 and Dodge 1500 both took 265/75R16, IRRC, a little wider, a little taller, and a bit more roll in the corners.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
Rather have the all-terrains for the winter (don't want to deal with studs/chains, never used them because they were illegal in MI.) Cheaper, too.
Yeah, those JK Wranglers will fit 32s no problem. Dealer told me I can even add a 1-inch lift and still be under warranty

Re: My car is a piece of shart
*slaps forehead* I'll call my bro tomorrow. He works with a Jeep guy. I'll see if there are any recommendations.

Don't worry, I'm not going to build it into a 5-inch lifted mud monster or anything (yet...) Just want something that can chew through winter. Those tires I have now seriously look like bike tires.
Current looking at 265/75 Bridgestone Duelers.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
My bro's friend can tell you exactly how big you can go without a lift, best tires for your purpose, whatever. I mean, you can go ghetto and use hockey pucks for a lift, although that's not recommended (duh). I'm guessing you're going for looks as well as utility.

Re: My car is a piece of shart
Yeah, pretty much.
No lift planned at the moment, mostly a daily driver, maybe the occasional light trail jaunt for funsies, and ability to get me to work and back in a 12-inch blizzard.
