Very happy with them. Very quiet and smooth! For the people who don't like white letters out, tough! :mrgreen:

Nice Kj, I like the paint. Just about had a set of the AT2's. Didn't work out. And now I need mud tires on the jeep i have now for the trails around here. :JEEPIN:

nice, I am picking up my new tires this weekend. AT2 as well 31x10.5.15, can't wait. My Pro comps gave me a nice run, 60k and 5 years of service. THis time I am going to hide the white letters.

Nice looking rig. :rockon:

I love those wheels! :pepper:

Are those P-rated tires? Let us know how they do in the snow.

Yes they are P rated tires. As for snow performance, I had them on my old explorer and they rocked in the snow! :mrgreen:

Cool. I saw that those tires (in that size) were snow rated. That’s one advantage that my Firestone Destination A/T’s don’t have.

I have Destination A/T's on a Durango, I didn't realize they weren't snow rated. I thought they were excellent in the snow last year so not sure why they aren't rated.

The Generals AT2’s meet severe snow service requirements and branded with the "mountain/snowflake" symbol. Snow tires with the snowflake have tread patterns specifically designed to bite into snow and ice, plus they are made from softer rubber compounds that maintain their flexibility in cold weather. Some rubber compounds get hard and brittle in cold temperatures and unable to conform to the texture of the road or driving surface. Antilock brakes, ESP, and all-wheel-drive are also more efficient with a tire that is rated for snow.

According to www.tirerack.com, “Some drivers prefer tires with less "off-road" tread design and the comfort of a better ride. They also would like the tire to offer exceptional snow and ice traction along with adequate performance in off-road conditions. Below are a few options with less "off-road" tread design:

Firestone Destination A/T
Michelin LTX A/T 2
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2

"Two of the most popular On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires are the Michelin LTX A/T 2 and the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO. Both are premium all-terrain tires that are durable, reliable, long-wearing tires with great traction in snow and light off-road use. So, which should you choose?"

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO
Michelin LTX A/T 2

"On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires are a practical compromise between Off-Road Maximum Traction and Highway All-Season tires. These tires are great for drivers who find themselves on unimproved roads or long gravel driveways. Even within this category, there are some options that are more aggressive than others and tend to perform closer to a Off-Road Maximum Traction tire. A few of the tires include the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO, General Grabber AT2 and the Richard Cepek Radial F-C II."

Looks great. White letters out! Those are what my KJs going to be sporting after Saturday. What size are they?

By the way I love the red paint and charcoal bumpers on your rig. :rockon:

I've had on my 04 Renegade since last June. They were great in the snow last winter and they've been great all year. I love em.

Just got the 245 75 r16s installed today. No complaints. They are louder than stock tires though. :JEEPIN:

Ive got these on my wifes 09 KK. I bought the 255/55/18's and love em, selection for 18"rims is pretty bad in Oz, but would recomend these to anyone. I wasnt interested in going taller as her jeep is unlifted, and these were only 11mm taller than stock 235/60/18's. The extra width and semi aggressive tread pattern suit the look of the black limited nicely :pepper:

Those came painted from the factory. It’s the “freedom edition” package.
