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.

Default New Tires Mounted

I got my Dean 265-75-16 Wildcat EXT mud terrains mounted today.

What a difference in ride. Nice and noisy too.

Here are before and after photos.

Very nice, man. Any rubbing at all? Looks like good clearance.

Got them online from Vulcan tires. They are made in the USA by Cooper.

The were only $129.00 each plus shipping.

I couldn't find any reviews on these anywhere. So I took a chance. I'll let you know they hold up.

They are an LT with a C (6 ply) load rating.

They are also available in an E (10 ply) load rating ($146.00 ea) and can be had with or without studs.

They came OWL but I like the black side out.

I bought the last 4 that they had. But they are going to have more by mid April. I'll be buying my spare then.

Just a fraction under 32".

31 3/4" I believe.

So far no rubbing issues at all. I really don't believe I'll have any.
