tire sizes on P38

[rovrjnky]

What tire sizes and brands (other than stock) are you guyz running on your P38's?

pros/cons of each?

BFG 255/85/16 MT/KM (33.3" dia.)

Pros: Looks kick butt, great offroad

Cons: Lost acceleration

Pros definitely outweighs the cons though.

Do you have a full-size spare? If so, where do you keep it?

 

[AlanB]

Spare sits in the trunk or on top of the roof rack, way too big to fit in the spare wheel well.

FYI a partially deflated 245/75 will fit in the factory tire space.

 

[rovrjnky]

those of you running 245/75's on your 4.0's, was there noticable performance loss?
Does anyone have pix of a P38 with 245/75's (preferably from the front or rear)?

 

[rovrjnky]

Alan, got any pix?

 

[AlanB]

245/75's and 255/85's pics

Hi here are some pics of my RR wearing Godyear 245/75 16 MTR's and the 255/85 BFG MT's that are on there now. I've also posted a couple of pics of how I store the spare in the back...

245/75's

255/85's

To house the oversized spare, I built a false floor. The tyre rests on the edges of the wheel well so as not to stress the false floor.

I put a hatch in the floor to allow me to use the well for storage of recovery items etc..

Cheers

Steve
