But others swear they can. I added them to the one for the reasons Mark spoke of.   Lewis Jones (Cutter) Senior Member Username: Cutter Post Number: 396 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, December 26, 2003 - 02:05 pm:    I should also add, I had some Rubicon Express ones on a TJ a few years ago that burst while wheelin. They were a week old. Sometimes the fancy stuff ain't always better! ...and I had springs keeping them off the tyres, they didn't wear a hole.
