I was going to say the same thing - I think the Stock Sport/X Wheels and Tires are the same size as the Rubi M/Ts. The only reason Rubi tires usually look bigger is because of the aggressive M/T treads.

But like Duane said, one possible reason is because of the lift and flat fenders - the same reason my 35s look like 33s now with the fender trim and Tera 4" lift

You're always going to get some type of static, especially if the Squelch is turned down. As for testing it try channel 19 (trucker channel) for a radio check.

I'm in need of tuning as well and have the know how, but I don't have bread to drop for a SWR meter yet. Soms of the fellas in OK Jeep Thing have meters and have been known to bring them to meetings to help others tune their antennas.
