OK here's another set of tire questions. Is load range even an issue on a Jeep? When we put tires on our jeeps 30" or larger that are also seen on F350's @ twice the weight or more towing fifth-wheels does a low load rating really matter to a TJ?
How about width? Can a 12.50 fit on rim less then 8"? better yet should it? It seems as though a narrow rim mounted in a wide tire would add a level of protection to rims when aired down, but is it safe or would the bead break away any easier in that set up if the tire was aired down?
What's wrong with off brands, I see a lot of threads about expensive tires that when used in extreme terrain are getting thrashed (because we run them hard, not because they're bad). Why not thrash a less expensive tire like the Runway Enduro MT and save some money? Are the better known brands really that much better? It would be great if some of these manufactures would donate a set of tires so we @ MJR could take to gate keeper and spend a day swapping them off and on the same jeep with the same driver taking the same line to see what the real difference are.
