33 x 10.50 x 15 on Expo Jeeps?

[PacificEd]

The wheels are 15 x 8 Cragar 399 Silver Soft 8 Wheels from Quadratec. (Part #92602.204).

Them seem fine for the 33 x10.50's. I went with an 8" rim in case I wanted to go wider in the future (I doubt I will though).

Thank you for the part number. It is a 4" backspacing which looks to be perfect.

There's not a set of these tires to be had in the US, supposed to be available early April.

Mike, I talked with a factory BFG guy a few days ago and he said they had started production on those tires. He said they will be available to the dealers in about 3 weeks. And all I needed was 1 tire.

He told me that it's a yearly event to run out of less popular tires (nation wide). They concentrate on popular winter tires and then return to regular production of the less popular / odd size tires.

Thanks Marty, I've got some lined up here if they come in on time, or maybe Chip will have some by the time I get there.

Your CJ 7 looks great!
Are you sure you have enough snatch blocks?

I like my 33 x 10.50 x 15" KM2's

 

[RedRocker]

You can't have too many snatch blocks!

I just wish they weren't on national back-order.

Went to the local American Tires. They said there was 5 (KM2) in the country and they were accounted for.

for an expedition style rig I find 10.50s in an AT to be just fine. I ran 31x10.5015 BFG ats for 4 yrs. i just moved up to the 33 version with 4.56 gears and dont regret any of these choices.

I just ordered a set of those in a 33, be here Monday. As much highway as I'll be doing I decided that longer wear and quiet outweighed any slight advantage the KM2's might have. I'll be trying them out at EJS in a few weeks.

I personally find a mud terrain tire to single purposed. I have ran the BFG Ats in all sorts of weather and trail conditions. I also only try to stay on class 3 trails or less.

Your results may very.

All depends on where you live, I guess.

Here in Ohio I've run ATs, radial MTs and aggressive bias swampers on my Jeeps. The MTs tend to be the best all-round tire for conditions where I go, KY, IN, OH and TN. Too often we run into rain-slicked trails (not necessarily muddy) and the MTs do much better than the ATs and are nearly as nice on the road. The swampers are awesome on the trail but are absolutely horrible on the street.

So yea, lol, results vary,

So what air pressure are you guys running on the street and off road?
I did the chalk thing and came up with 25 for the street, anybody else?

My BFG ATs I run on the street at 40. When I am on the trail I run them at 15.
