Default 37s or nothing

I just recently had my 3rd incident with my pro comp knight khrome wheels and i received store credit for them because i was tired of the finish chipping off my wheels and getting them rebalanced mounted etc.. I want 37s but i im not sure if i want to go again with a M/T or the Pro Comp X A/T tire..i see the A/Ts boast a 40,000 tire life...any suggestions

Possibly selling 33-12.50-17 Nokian Vativas M/T with 90% tread life..

You got what you deserve as far as I'm concerned, going with chrome on a wrangler. That should be illegal. As far as a new tire, the Extreme A/Ts from Pro-Comp do look pretty sweet, but I have always had the best luck with BFG. I love the KM2 Mudders, especially in the 37+ flavors.

Dude,

This JEEP thing has so much OTJ training, and more importantly, "ask your friend on the JK forum" that I have a hard time bustin anybody about trusting a MAJOR vendor in the 4x4 after-market world and finding out the hard way that it just ain't so. We all deserve to be treated right.

Chrome, black, wtf whatever,... It's all good. To each his own.

Doesn't make him a bad guy.

I love my AEV argent pintlers with 37 KM2's. NO KNOWN problems.

Check it out.

Hehe easy guys, I was just giving him a hard time. I personally think chrome is silly on a Jeep but its all good. I absolutely LOVE your wheel and tire setup though, its exactly what I want with a currie 4 inch system. Hopefully when my wife finishes up her internship and gets her RD I'll be able to put money back into the important stuff, like JEEPIN , and finish up my Rubi.

Awsesome set up man!! How do you like the FT la kit?? I am biased....SLC did my 6.1 swap a few months ago. I have the AEV pintlers and heat reduction hood on rescue green. Gerry and company are the best...they do awesome work.

BTW...to each their own.....I'm not into chrome either but don't knock those that are.... keep the hatin somewhere else.

It's All Good!!! And it's all in good fun.

I love the LA KIT! Altho I am sorry to tell you that I have had to work or have beenout of town every weekend since I picked it up. Mudding here and there (not a test of the lift) has been a blast. But still looking forward to FLEXING!!! For sure going to Ouray late May/early June,... Yes I will post pics.

Look at the Jeep Mowabb has built. Currie and luvin it. My vote for Jeep of the Month, week, year,... (or whatever. It rocks!)

BTW what is an RD internship?

Signed,

Gnukklehed.

PS no chrome for me either. Pullin off the "JEEP" sign on the front tomorrow.

dear haters...
please dont give me your shitty opinion about what you don't like about my set up...I put it on there because I thought it looked good..I just wanted to know about some tires...and my former wheels were not actual chrome they were a powder coat finish that was similar to chrome in appearance but a lot darker...
