Is anyone running these with stock Rubi wheels? Post pics and what lift and wheel spacers. Do you like them? How are there on the road? Are you using stock gearing? 4.10, etc. How much power loss from the stock tires?

 

Bumping this thread. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who might be running these.

 

With any luck I will be ordering some this weekend. The problem is that Interco may not have any in stock because production may be on hold. I will keep you posted on what my parts guy says.

 

Is your Rubi stock or lifted? Stock rims? Do you need spacers?

 

The Jeep is stock now and I plan on putting those tires on the stock rims if the tires are available. Once mounted I am going to check my clearances and articulation to see if I need the spacers and how much lift or bump stop adjustment is required. If the tires are not available I am getting new wheels. I will keep you updated on the status.

 

I've been looking into these tires a lot. I have no personal experience with them so all I have is hearsay. But I hear that they wear quickly and are very loud. They weigh more than most 35s despite their slim width and I hear complaints about traction in dry conditions. I personally have wanted a slim 35 for a long time, but with all the negativity I hear about this tire it made me wait.

Sorry if I'm discouraging, I just know they are expensive and you should get what you pay for.

 

Good to know. I have seen they're heavy and figure they would they would be loud, but didn't know they wear quickly. I was hoping the SSR would be better than the TSL. About 20 years ago I had 40" TSL on a full size Blazer and they did wear fast and were loud, but that was the TSL on a much heavier truck.

 

B 1000, How's your JK run on the freeway with 5.13's? MPG?

 

Well at first I was getting really really bad mileage for a few weeks when I got them. I think I just needed to relearn what RPM range that the JK wants with the new gears. So now that I've got about 1500 miles in the 5.13s I am in the area of 15 - 15.5 MPG. Everyone will steer you away from 4.88s, but I honestly think that if you plan to spend time above 75 mph pretty often, the 5.13s may be a little too short.

PM me if you wanna get more details

 

They are noisy and they wear faster than BFGs or Goodyears but I like them. I wheel just about every weekend so I put up with the noise for a good off road tire.

I had 12.5" wide ones on a previous Jeep that was my daily driver and weekend wheeler.

There isn't much else in that width and I don't want to put 12.5" wide tires on my stock rims. That is just my personal preference.

If these are truly not available I am going with Goodyear MTR, 35x12.5 and new wheels.
