New Tires for The Chief

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I realized last weekend when I was in the desert that my tires were looking pretty bad. I had plenty of tread left (by my standards) but there was a bit too much cracking in one of them and a bad sidewall gash in the other so it was time to upgrade.

I ended up keeping them at 30″ x 9.50″ x 15″ but going with BF Goodrich All Terrains.  The BFG’s came in cheaper than another set of Bridgestones would have and while I had no issues with the Bridgestones the BFG All Terrain is a well known and proven tire.

PS, after chalking and parking lot cruising these tires told me that they want to run at 32psi on the stock XJ.

Gatorade Thirst Quencher?

Is this what they were thinking when they came up with that?

I was still thirsty when I was done…  Maybe I did it wrong?
