I can not decide. Since the day I got the jeep I have been looking at tires, but now I have the front bumper with a place for the winch. My tires will still be good for 10-15k more miles, but I really like tires. But, I love the look of a winch.

Decisions, decisions!!!!

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!
Ok we are talking Christmas. You have 10K left on your tires maybe. After the next 4 months, how many miles will you have driven? How will your tires have done after the weather out there? Let's start with that.

Next, you are given the option of tires OR a winch. You can get an awesome winch for a lot less than tires. SOOOO Since your wife is offering...go with the higher priced item!

jason went wheeling alone in the snow.............................................. ......... :rotfl mao2:

seriously, you might not be alone wheeling every time but you are alone most of the time driving and with the snow and ice we get a winch would be very ideal. not to mention if you got ran off the road or slide off the road in the rain.

Agreed. I got my winch and I like it but, I have used it four or five times. When you wheel in groups it's easier to just strap somebody out...

you missed the chandler wheeling trip
