Default Will the Jeep Gods Smote Me Down?

I put these tires on a Rubicon - the ride is great compared to the Mud terrains but will the jeep gods be pleased?

Meh, if it fulfills practical use for you.....so be it. If anyone throws a verbal jab at you, just tell em your 40" MTs you use on the trails are sitting in the garage.

You don't really know how harsh the ride is on MT's until trying AT's.

Hrm... so I will hazard a guess that the MTs on the Rubicon (I also drive a Rubicon but have long since moved to 37s) are a load range C (at most D) tire so doubtful that the tire type is what gave the harsh ride. I'm betting those ATs you're running are a passenger tire and might be a load range B. Or, you had the MTs over inflated and the current tires at a correct inflation pressure.

Regardless, your rig and it needs to meet your needs. I'll still warn against taking it anywhere that you may need the lockers as that's likely also a good place to cut the sidewalls on those tires.

Would definitely agree with this. I suspect that's not much of a concern though.
