Hi Everyone, I've been a lurker here for the last 3 months, ever since I got my XJ. Every time I've had a question, the answer's been here before I even got to ask it. You guys and gals are a wealth of info, so I thought I'd ask for some advice. I need (read want) new tyres on my XJ to replace a near new set of wrangler gsa's. These are ok on the highway, but as soon as you show them a bit of mud they turn to slicks.My XJ's a '95 Classic, and is completely stock. Unfortunately, being a '95 Classic it doesn't have a trac-lok diff, so tyres become a bit more important. I've narrowed the choice down to 3, all 235/75R15.
1- Cooper STT 2-Goodyear Wrangler MTR 3-Kumho Venturer 834 Most of the tracks we travel are rocks and mud,but the conditions can change every 5 minutes. I've been told I can fit 30x9.5's, but these are nearly 2" bigger then stock. In the police state I live in, they use radar cameras to book you for speeding, so I don't want to have the speedo out too much. Any advice or experiences with these tyres would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Happy New Year. Larry in Melbourne Australia.- posted
