  • 47 inch Tires over kill?

    Im thinking about buying another jeep, currently it has 47" tires on it. Is that to big? I mainly run the rubicon three to four times a year. Any thoughts?

    For me that's more than I need. Having 37's and 40's have been plenty for me.

      You can run the Rubicon on 30" tires lol. 47" tires would make it a run on the freeway without traffic

        Yea I've ran the Con on 33's and 35's no problem, but I've also seen rigs with as big as 54's. Personally Id like to have 40's or 42's but this on comes with 47's and it not street legal so it would most likely take forever o wear out so Im stuck with them unless I want to spend more money to down size.

          DANG, Wonder how much those tires are worth?

          I think more of the components on that vehicle are mounted outside of the body, than underneith it

            It's running a 383 with 2.5 ton Rockwells front and rear.

              That's a pretty gnarly machine. I bet it would just walk over the rubicon, eh?

                  That thing needs 47's. With that rig I'd keep them.

                    I haven't bought it yet, I'm thinking its to big of a rig.....wheel base is 98" w and 125" long.

                      I bet if we look hard enough we can find a post saying 35's and 37's were plenty... it's only a matter of time before you want 47" tires.

                        Oh no!! I like driving to the trail. Plus then we're doing Rockwell's.

                          Is it a good deal? The rig looks awesome. Is it worth the price?

                            $14,000 with new 600 hp engine, no leaks any where, is just a bigger rig than I think I need.
