I bought a set of 31's almost 2 years ago.. They currently have about 20,000 miles on them. I still have them and they are in good condition with a little less than half the tread left on them... :D
Very nice tires and very well built.. I didnt balance them at all and the ZJ rode fine with them and now the Dodge they are on now runns great..

Here are some pics of them at work....

Swampy,

they don't seem to keep the front end down on the jeep. It that because you aired down too much?

I found out after that trip that I had a combination of to much air in my tires and my shocks where not long enough to keep the tires on the ground..

I have since let out some air and I have very long front shocks now... :lol: :lol:

But seriously .. Those tires are great and like I said they are on my DD right now.. I will definatly buy another pair.. I would have bought my 35's from them but they didnt have any when I called ... But they do now... :mad:


Good luck in whatever you decide..

Helium,

so instead of lugging around that CO2 bottle, I could get a huge Helium tank and then just refill the smaller one...


Lighter tires? I like it.
