Just for fun. They are off that Liberty in the background. I want to go put all 4 on and see how it drives though.

TJL, I was highly debating those tires in that size and I almost pulled the trigger! But my better sense got the best of me and I figured I really don't need that big of a tire. (Even though I still think it's awesome!) :smiley_thumbs_up:
PPiekarski your Jeep looks awesome! I love the Hankooks and just ordered my set today! Should have my wheels and tires by next week and I'll be posting up pics. :smiley_thumbs_up:

do the bigger tires and lift seem to dog your pat down? I'd love to put a lift on mine, even though it is 2wd. just wondered how drivability is now

Depends on the tires, but yes, a larger tire will make it seem like you are starting in a higher gear, depending on what size you get.
I have a 30" tire which is 2" bigger than the stock tire, or about 7%. So when I go to start, instead of being in first gear, I am starting in 1.07 gear.
But more important is tire width (friction) and tire weight. I have VERY heavy tires. and that I think is the thing that causes me to "feel" it more. If I were to go with a tire of the same size that was a lighter tire, i probably wouldn't have the same feeling of heaviness.

It really is about the width causing a larger contact area with the road, but that totally eliminates wheel torque.
epper:
In our case the front end steers much more positively, input is far superior and more assured. You will have a heavier driving feel as well and far less roll. under steer.
You also have to remember that larger tires have a deeper tread and often have a more open tread pattern, so in my case an HT design was all our 2-wheeler needed.
Hard to believe that if you start with a 205 on a base Patriot you can move up 4 tire sizes, I recall moving up only one size on any of our first four Jeeps.

I cut that spring bracket thing off when I installed my lift. These tires probably wouldn't based off of others pictures. The biggest problem with these tires is all the plastic in the wheel well, as far as I know currently.

Thank you sir! Got them from discount tire. Best price, and great customer service, online (here) and at the store. I believe I paid just over $1100 for everything mounted and balanced.

If you are talking about the Hankooks yes they make em in a 15"in. This is my 1st time owning a set, but I am confident in them knowing many people from Wrangler guys, xterra guys, Tacoma/FJ guys, and tons of full sized truck guys giving these tires nothing but rave reviews and respect.
I'll post up a tire review later this winter as we can get some good icy snow conditions here in Idaho. (I had the duratracs before which were amazing in snow) I have confidence in this tread pattern that they will hopefully be as good as the duratracs (which were the best winter A/T tire IMO).
The Procomps do not come in a 15 to my knowledge.
They don't rub if you don't do the PWM. the PW will stop the tire dead mid turn. lol. I flattened out the PW as much as I could without cutting it off, then used a heat gun to "weld" the fender liner back together. I still get some phantom rub on certain corners, but it's very minimal. I'll work on the liners a bit more if I start to notice any excessive rubbing.
