JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

The inputed tire size is larger then what you actually have. Don't rely what is printed on the sidewall.

Use a tape measure and re-measure your tires. Generally I find that they're smaller then listed.

What Rod wrote above. I've found the quick way to do it is to measure from the ground to the top of the tire shoulder where it makes a sharp break into the tire tread. Typically that's an inch or more smaller than the expected tire size. The accurate way to measure is to mark a spot on the ground and on the tire where it contacts the ground. Then drive forward until the tire mark reaches the ground after one revolution. Measure from the tire mark back to the first mark (on the ground). Divide by Pi. That is your actual tire size. Just for reference, my "35 inch" Duratracs read accurately on the speedometer when the ProCal is set to 33.25".
