Which tires for the JK?

[TRD270]

You dont have a choice since i just ordered the 37" Treps for you .....

Guess your getting 37's

Something to consider IMO, the Kevlar MTR's run LARGE... they measure out to their true size, when most other tires measure out a few inches less than claimed. So a 40" Trepador will probably be pretty close in height to the 38" MTR.

Good point so I checked it out.
37 trep = 36.85
37mtr= 36.8
38 mtr = 37.8
40 trep= 39.76
40 mtr = 39.8

Just for size reference. 37mtr vs 38

Wow those are crazy wide looking. That confirms my feelings on 12.50 for the JK

hm... that's interesting. I heard the MTRs were pretty light. I do know my old 35" treps were heavier than my 35" KM2/wheel combo (as Tyler can verify, he helped me load them)

The KM2s weighed in about 10 pounds less than the others.

Good info right there!

I have 37" MTR's w/ Kevlar on my GMC and they were only 1" shorter than my old-style 40" MTR's!

I just ordered 5 37" trepadors.

So are you going to have two sets now? Since Ryan ordered you a set 2 days ago?

We needed two sets anyway.

Sweet. I'm anxious to hear how they compare to the km2s.

 

[skippy]

They smoke KM2s in every way imaginable Thats why Davy is upgrading from KM2s to the treps........

^ I wouldn't say everyway imaginable. However, after watching the rigs that had trepadors in Moab the two of us that didn't have trepadors ordered them when we got home.
