Just picked these up today after last min. advice from 2 active LOST members :D 4 studded 31x10.5 15 Goodyear Duratracs. Also i ordered 4 summit black 8's (soft 8 rip offs) 15x7.. 5x4.5.. 3.75in backspacing. They should be here tomorrow.

I got a great deal on the tires... (plus they had them in stock.. and delivered them) and the wheels are only $44 a piece shipped overnight. Cant wait to get them mounted up and on my jeep!!!

Aggressive studded snow tires, Detroit locker in the rear, 4wd, and a 4600lb jeep liberty. This is going to be a TANK :twisted: 8) :JEEPIN: :JEEPIN: :JEEPIN: :JEEPIN: :JEEPIN:

The tires im running now, 265/75/16 BFG KM2's are TERRIBLE in the snow/ice. might as well be racing slicks. They are 'a little' better running 20psi in them rather then 32psi but still really bad in those conditions. I'll be keeping them for non-winter conditions.

Those are nice looking tires. Would you happen to know if those wheels would fit a stock height renegade. I'm on the fence between those or the cragars. Didn't know about the offset on the summits thought.

they would "fit" but they will rub your pinch weld and probably the front bumper. you can pound down the pinch weld and trim the front bumper and they will clear. The cragers with 4in backspacing might be your better bet because they wont stick out as far as the 3.75in backspacing from summit wheels.

Ok thanks for that info, I'll eventually be lifted but probably not until next year. Love your jeep by the way, especially that color....
