Seth, are you going to cut them like the cool kids do?

They look good! Do they rub anywhere?

Not that i can see. They don’t rub the springs at full lock. I haven’t flexed it yet. They are just over an inch taller than my old tires so I don’t believe they will rub. They are a bit narrower so that helps too.

I’m really interested to hear your thoughts on how they compare to your other tires, in mud,dirt and pavement.
Thanks for sharing

They look Gr8 Seth. I hope you like them. I think it’s a little easier to install the tubes if you put a little bit of air in them before stuffing them into the tire. Just enough to take the wrinkles out and give them enough body to slide around the lip of the wheel. Baby powder helps too.
If you haven’t already, you may want to chalk up the tires and deflate them a little. The center wears out quicker if you inflate them to the recommended 30 psi. At least that is my experience. Sure hope we can get together and wheel again soon!! Edited by jpet - 08 Dec. 2019 at 12:37pm |

Jpet: thanks for the tips. Getting the tubes in and positioned correctly was the only really annoying part. I’ll try the air trick next time. I was worried they would get kinked or twisted. I suppose air would help with that too. I will put some chalk on them and go for a ride. I’ve got about 22psi in them now. Yes! I hope to wheel with you soon as well!

I would love to know what width your wheels are. Standard 4.5" or slightly wider? I'm just about to get the same set up.

My wheels are 5” wide. I am running 1” wheel spacers so that helps them clear the springs. They are a pretty tall tire.

When I do a tire changes on my Honda, I will inflate and deflate the tires ( pulling the shrader valve to deflate) That helps with twists and wrinkles in the tube.

An excellent tire choice for any Willys 4WD !
I'm guessing those are aftermarket wheels.
Like that tan color !
