Yet Another Tire Question

GSO Medic 26 January 2005 04:59:53
 Hello Everyone!

Black 95 YJ 2.5l, primary form of transportation, stock aluminum
wheels, weak street tires. It spends alot of time on the highway, but
I live in the boonies so I'd like to have something to improve it's
capability during inclimate weather in addition to making it look a
little better.

Here's what I'm planning: 1.5" lift via new shackles, black American
Racing wheels, 31" BFG AT/KO's. What I'm unclear on is the best wheel
and tire widths to get. I don't want to sacrifice too much handling
because unfortunately it has to spend alot of time on the pavement.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

 I agree, the BFG All Terrain is a great tire that is very hard to beat
for most offroading needs.

 Thanks for all the replies everyone. I do have stock springs. My jeep
appears to have spent most of it's life on the pavement and therefore
has a completely vanilla suspension. Is replacing the shackles only
going to decrease the reliability of the jeep? I don't want to drop
alot of $$$, but I want to screw up my YJ even less.

Thanks!
