Bigger Tires - question

31 x 10.5 are a bolt-on on TJs. Issues are slight sidewall to front, lower control arm contact at full lock (minor) and drivability w/ 3.07 gears. As for a tire, I'd skip the Dunlops and go for BFG All Terrain KOs.

Bridgestone makes a Dueler AT Revo with a new compound that's makes them grip better as they get older, especially in rain&snow. Good tire. JD

Touche Jerry McG. You should expect light interior rubbing on the front end from extreme turns. This can be corrected with a 1"-2" body lift, or even the RE coil spacers. BFG All-Terrains will be an excellent choice for a all season on&off road tire. I have seen the Dunlop A/Ts wear quickly as compared to the BFG A/Ts. Good Luck.

I've got a 97 TJ Sahara w/ 3.07 gears and an automatic and am running

31x10.5's easily. I bought it used and it had Pirelli Scorpion A/T tires on it. They're okay. I've not been too impressed with them in the rain on wet pavement. I've done a little off-roading myself, mainly mud, and found that they also pack up quickly. Next time I have an excuse to buy tires, I'm going with the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's. They're not cheap, but a good choice.

If you get into 31x10.5 tires and they rub, just do the simple steering stop mod discussed in great detail in this group and in this article:

I think the MT/R's tend to mud up also. I had 31 BFG AT's for a while and I was very happy with them. I now have Goodyear MT/R's. The MT/R's are softer, look more agressive, are louder on the street, and don't corner as well. I am generally happy with the MT/R's though if you don't do too much off roading the AT's might be a better fit.
