Thanks, I will end up calling the local Cooper dealer here. Hopefully they list the weight of the tires to the shops. They really look great.

Just an update..I lost about 2mpg with the bigger tires but they are stil great. Most of my driving is Hwy and up and down a large canyon. The ride is very nice! The BFG's I put on first caused the jeep to wander a bit but the cooper's drive very much like the Dessert Dullers. Good luck finding tires and the Coop's are highly recomended.

Here is another vote for the coopers. I run them on my JK (pics in link below) and cant say enough about them. Cooper totally re-engineered these tires 2 years ago and they are much quiter that the old style STTs. 30 vehicle and 8 Jeeps later I can say these are the best tire Ive ever had.

CATA 22, assuming you still haven't put on a lift, have you experienced any clearance problems with rubbing? Up and down or side to side?

TwinsJeep,

When I was out in the mud there were a few times I needed to switch back because of large snow banks and I did a lot of manuvering on very narrow roads. Went over some medium sized bumbs and ruts and not once did the tires rub! The tire and rim set up seems to work great and best of all it rides very much like the stock set up on the highway (- the slight hum of the coops). If I do lift it in the future I think it will be a very minor 1-2". We will

Can the stock 18" wheels work with this tire? It is a 33 right? Also, can the stock wheels be black anodized? I have the Red Rock Unlimited Sahara just like in the pic but with a black hard top now and am contemplating the first tire purchase. Likely to go with the 2.5" Terraflex BB later on.
