Post subject:  Choosing tires... need something gnarly looking!
Well I just got my 2005 Liberty Sport lifted and now it's time to convince my wife that tires are a must. :? I put a 2.5 inch Daystar lift on and want some 245/70/17's, 245/75/17's or 245/65/17's. I have the 17 inch mags (want to keep those) and want little to no rubbing. (thats why no 265's)

I basically use my Liberty for publicity for my Motocross/ATV apparel stores. I have a rack on the rear hitch with my motocross bike hanging off the back. So I am looking for the gnarliest looking tire available. 95% road and 5% rough stuff. OK... so I can't be xtreme in everything!

What tires do all you KJ fans like the best? Need to look the most agressive but still be somewhat fun to drive on highway. I dont mind a bit of buzzing but no wobbling. :wink:

Choices:
Cooper Discoverer STT: Looks the most agressive so far first choice...
Dueler AT Revo
Yokohama Geolander AT
Toya Open COuntry AT
Pirelli Scorpion AT

Thanks!

Brian

The Discoverer STT does in fact look cool. Never used them though.


I really love my goodyear wrangler silent armors but they are not the most agressive looking out there.

MTR's.....245/75's are easy


Get them as "take off's" from a Rubicon. I've bought two sets of them (5 tires) for less than 500 bucks w/ only 2-3 thousand miles on 'em.

One man's trash is anothers treasure.

Check http://www.rubicon4wda.com/

and Ebay, you'll find them . 8)

Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors look pretty gnarly...especially with the tribal-esque sidewalls. You might wanna check 'em out.
