Nice looking Jeep sitting up high! I got some 315-75-17 BFG's on mine. But I like the look on yours better. Problem is, the BFG's run a LONG time before you have to change them, so I'm just going to have to wait.

I had set of these on my Liberty and was extremely happy with them. If they in fact DO start making these in a 35" I would greatly consider them when I change tires next.

I havent run the firestones, so i am not sure if they come in 35.....but the Dayton Timberline M/T comes in a 35, and it runs great in mud and everything else (a little noisy at that size though).......and guess what......its just a big Firestone M/T with a different name.......dont you love how companies do that.....lol

I've been running a set on my JK for 11k miles and I think they may be the best tires I've owned. Noise isn't too bad, great in the dirt/mud/snow and I continue to be impressed by how well they handle on wet pavement. Seem to be wearing really well, too but tough to say at 11k.

Look pretty good, too.

I think 11000 miles is ALOT especially for a MT tire, and if they're serving you that well and wearing well than thats the best news I've heard
I think the brand name is what may scare alot of people away, maybe why they're so cheap ..either way, works for me
