I came across a sale on a set of five 35 BFg kw2 (mud tire) with more then 50% tread and five wheels. He was ask $1000, I tired my luck thinking he would not go for it but offered $800. He said ok. I could not pass up the deal but 35 on 3.73 gears, it will be awhile before a regear. But on the other hand these tire actual measure 34.4. Comments?
I ran 35's on 3.73 gears with my auto for about 4 months way back when. Yes, it was a little sluggy on the highway, slower perceived throttle response BUT it did good for me when off road in low gears. I believe you will be just fine until you can regear, which I do recommend to 5.13 NOT 5.38.

Once you trim your flares, and/ or do at least a 2 1/2" lift, those 35's are going to be an awesome compliment to your jeep. Did you already have a lift or flat flares but just have not installed it yet???

Bad news this stuff won't be on for the trip to BH (we arrive back in detroit on the 12th from the honeymoon and leave tomorrow), but I am think about putting it on for the Dec 3rd trip.

What programmer do you have that you can do multiple vehicles? If you are going on the trip on Dec 3rd might need you to bring the programmer.
Final comment since no one asked what wheels I got they are AEV pintlers....hmmmm....BFG KM2 tires and AEV pintlers for $800.....any think what I am thinking this deal was a little off.
Thanks guys

Not the fancy one just the AEV Procal Module. you measure the actual height of the tires flip some switches and put it in the interface the horn beeps and it just recals your speedo
Gonna need some added clearance bud! Unless you've already done that and I somehow missed it
Or flat fenders...
You just have to make sure you have clearance on your turning radius so you're not hitting the frame. As long as the new rims are off set enough.
