X-terrain specs.

[Gehrke]

I was checking the specs on several different tires today and I discovered that the 33x12.50 x-terrains have the following measurements: Diameter 31.4". Overall width 10.9", and tread width 9.9". This is about the same as most 32" tires. SO will they fit my navajo with my 2" suspension lift? Is anyone running a 32" tire with those specs (or close) and a 2" lift?

I measured my 33x12.50 XTerrains when I got them and they measured almost true to their size (about 32.8x12). To get them to fit with only 2.25" of lift required lots of trimming and new fiberglass front fenders. After all the work, they look great though!

Looks great Alec!
I would love to get perry's fenders but the university takes all my money Are your rims 10" or 8"?
I don't want more lift. I want to keep my COG as low as possible (I like fast offroad driving) just more clearance. Maybe i'll get the fenders for christmas and wait until summer to get the tires.

They're 15x8 rockcrawlers with 3.75" backspacing.

You could get the fenders now, but I wouldn't put them on until you're close to putting on the tires. I think it would look pretty silly with the huge empty flares. Keep in mind early model X's tend to need more trimming than later ones, but if you're willing to trim, go for it! I have had some problems though with there not being enough room for the tires to fully compress into the wheelwells. The last time I went wheeling my rear driver tire kept getting caught on a body weld. I'm lifting the rear up another 2" or so and the front another inch.

My Xterrain's kick butt off road. Mine measured the same as Alec's.

Very happy with them!

Minimal trimming on my 94, but it's got 5.5" of lift also.

Great Tire for offroad and rock crawling. I'll find out how they do on sand this weekend. Yeah 40K warantee.

I've thought about getting these tires but I do alot of on road driving too, so I'm wondering how they do in the snow, both on and off road. Thanks!

 

[jasonb]

they are buy 3 get one free right now... just in case you were getting some

 

[Alec]

stretch, they've worked out great for me so far. No snow yet, but they're great in the rain and other "low traction" surfaces. I've put thousands of miles on them and love 'em.

Thanks Alec! When the time comes I think I've found my next set of tires.
