I run 36psi in my duratracs and have no problems. Try dropping it a bit.

TIJKK1220 · **Posted:** Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:09 pm

I was running my coopers at that high psi like that.. they were awful. Dropped down to 35. Really smooth now and little noise

Just because they're rated for 80 doesn't mean they should be there lol

Looks very familiar. I just got the same tires put on mine, I went with 225/75R16's. Same color but I have tinted my windows super dark.

I really think that it's these tires that are causing such poor gas mileage though. These are a ridiculously heavy tire and aggressive for the street as well. My rolling resistance is sooo much more than what it used to be with my AT2s. I slow down as fast as I used to brake now because of the resistance now too haha (fine by me though, saves my brand new brakes). These tires are 66lbs each whereas the MTR Kevlars are 54lbs, General Red Letters were 57lbs, and Cooper ST MAXXs were 54lbs. My old AT2 were only 47lbs too. Also I think the transmission needs to relearn itself to acclimate to the new gearing.

Eventually it should relearn it. Maybe reset the ecu to speed up the process.

Got an oil change and replaced my spark plugs. Easiest spark plug change ever. Maybe 20 minutes to do

l glad that the previous owner had the windows tinted, unless 2012 KKs came factory coated.

It's an option. Atleast on the 2011+. I had my windows tinted after purchase. The Jeep lasted less than a week with no tints.

CollinKK · **Posted:** Fri Feb 20, 2015 4:55 pm

It was indeed an option. And since I was buying the car myself for the first time I didn't see the need. Since then the no tint has grown on my for some reason. Although I have thought about totally covering the last side window with something.

I went 20% front doors and 5% all back windows. Did it myself, only a few problem spots, not bad for my first time

If you live in Jersey, it would be wise NOT to tint your FRONT windows.

I know way too many people that get pulled over for tints in Jersey. It's not worth it.

I went with what factory tints would be. They might be a shade darker, but not enough to be noticeable

Yesterday I changed out brake pads all the way round, rotated my tires, and got my Mopar hitch installed. Didn't have time to run the hitch wire harness... That will have to wait for another day.

Out with the original and in with the new

Changed my diff fluid with Royal Purple...I always wondered if it's actually purple fluid too. Yes...yes it is haha.

Took a lot longer than I realized to get the oil they put to drain...really thick stuff haha.

Today, for the second time this winter, I'll be hunting down an air station to pump up my tires. Low pressure light came on this morning in the lovely -18 degree weather. I'm sick of winter!
