Tire & Ride Huge Difference
 
Hey guys...Well just put back on my stock wheels for winter...17" with BFG'S M/T 32" ( Rubicon Tires )
Compared to 17" with LT315/70 17 Procomp Xtreme MT tires 9 ( WOW ) what a huge difference...Going
from a 10" wide to a 12" wide tire and size of course can't beleive it...Ive had them on for 2 days already
and can't beleive it...Really not sure what i'm gonna do next spring...The quality of the ride write now is what
i really want...Maybe going to a less wide tire in 35" or maybe 33"...Got the winter to figure this out...

What kind of differences are you seeing? I'm guessing you're feeling more power, mileage increase, and better handling?

Definetly more power...Handling huge difference...of course MPG went up even driving it hard...
I had a feeling putting on 12.5 wide tires - compared to 10.5 wide ...and 32 MT - 35 MT would be
a difference but honestly just thru me for a spin here...Not sure what to do next spring...
