So who is actually running the 35x10.5 SSRs? I am wondering how they do on the road? Any balancing issues?

Default 07 Rubi

Hey, here's my Rubicon on these tires...stock wheels with 1 1/2 spacers. Had to cut stock rock rails and pinch seam (as expected w/35's). It rubs the lower air dam/spoiler at full turn verrry slightly-a problem that will be resolved shortly. I will cut it until I replace the bumpers, etc.

Anyway, It handles well on the road-in and around houston. I have no complaints, but i'm sure Durtracs and K/M 2's would handle better on the HWY. I haven't tested them off road yet, but i have full confidence in their ability.

Check out my album for more pics.

Those look great! How much do these cost per tire?

Default Cost

Shop around for your best price. I am from LA and visit there frequently, so you can always go by the Rayne, LA facility and purchase (at least you used to be able to). I ordered 5 on Amazon free shipping and no taxes to TX for about 400/tire.

These tires are supposed to be 35x10.50x17, but actual width is a bit wider than that I believe. I love them, and wouldn't go with any other tire unless these were not available. Then again, my jeep is my secondary vehicle so it's not a DD.

Hope this helps and thanks, I love the look of it as well.

I wish we had a better selection of tall/skinnies, personally.
A km2 would be ideal for me in a 35x10.5

I used them on my last JK before I traded in for the new motor. I really liked them but they didnt wear super long. Maybe 30k miles out of them with good rotation. They balanced pretty easy thou and werent bad on the highway really. On trails and in loose conditions they are really awesome thou. Probably not super ideal for sharp rocks but for mud/snow they are really hard to beat I think. The tread also clears super super easy which is awesome.
