Always amazing what a set of tires and wheels will do to change the looks of a vehicle! Looks good!

That looks incredible. If I was lifted, I would never be driving around in the stock wheel/tire combination.
Look at the difference. Let this be a lesson to those lifted and riding on stock wheels..

Just great. You will have to go back to stock in the summer or on the highway, these will be very loud and hurt mpg!

Also, why did your stock tires wear so unevenly? Look at the one to the left end, and the one next to it (probably spare) and the others, completely uneven..

I'm sure these arn't going to help my mileage any but on the highway they have a quite pleasant hum to them. There is noise on the highway above 30ish mph, but not a lout whine like I was expecting to have.

The 2nd from the left was the spare and was driven on for ~1500 miles. As for the others... they were driven for ~30k. No idea why the wear is so uneven... one of the tires is almost completely smooth...

Wow, it really does look much better. Good job.

Wanna sell me your front hitch???

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 10:39 am

tire wear looks pretty normal, well sort of...heres what I see, the one on the far left was on the right rear quite a bit or most of the time, rest were one of two things , little under pressure or he drives in town quite a bit and making sharp right and left hand turns. Little bit closer and I could tell you which side each of them was on. :lol:

callaway, thanks for the answer. Enjoy your new wheels. Drive cautiously on the highway.

Looking good!!! but for the love of god get rid of those chrome center caps,chrome don't belong on a Jeep and looks kinda bad with black rims(in my opinion).

The chrome caps are not too huge, I think they look good.

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 12:13 pm

tjkj2002 agree with you comepletely on the chrome center caps...."chrome wont get you home" :wink:

callaway · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 1:17 pm

I never cared for the chrome look, but for some unknown reason I like the look of the centercaps

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 2:34 pm

Hey thats all that matters as long as you like it! :wink:

I used to also but as I get OLDER :lol:

I used to have those tires on my rig. They will make you appreciate the difference between an aggressive M/T and any sort of A/T tire. If you ever find yourself losing traction, just turn your steering wheel side-to-side slowly while accelerating slightly and those awesome sidewall lugs (got I miss looking at those

) will find something to grab onto, especially in mud and on hill-climbs.
Don't worry about highway driving. I had the same size on my stock wheels, and they felt fine on the highway where I tend to cruise at 80 MPH. Mine only last 28K though...but I was extremely rough on them. My only real trail run with my local LOST chapter took a few lugs from two of the Destinations, so I will tell you to be cautious with the skinny petal around rocks. And don't forget to air them down on the trail, it makes a HUGE difference. I'd recommend 18-20 psi on the trail and 33-35 on street, least that's what I did. Like I said, the only reason mine didn't last that long is because of how rough I was on them and how bad my alignment was for a good 3 months. The missing lugs also threw the tires out of balance.
I'm sure you'll love them. I hated the noise and wet pavement handling, but it's worth it for their offroad abilities. I particularily found joy in their ability to plow through deep snow on the roads. Last winter, when we got hit with a few good blizzards...I didn't have to go but down my driveway to find the fun!
