Hi,
I am soon going to need a set of tires for my '05 Rubicon. What size tires would most recommend and list any problems if any that I should be aware of? I have been looking at a few different tires so far, Mudlites, Mudlites XTR's, 589's, but I think I have decided on Bear Claws. I am not what most would call a hard core mudder, I like riding mud but what I do ride would more than likely be considered just a puddle compared to some of what I have seen on this site. I want a decent tire that will get me to the cabin, ride most trails and I do not want to add a lift kit or rims and I want a comfortable ride. Stock tires of course are 25 x 8 x 12 fronts and 25 x 10 x 12 rears. I have considered 26 x 9 x 12 front and 26 x 12 x 12 rear. I would have stuck to a 10 wide in the rear but the Bear Claw is not offered in that. Will a 12 inch wide work/look ok on my stock 10 inch rim? Any thoughts would be great. Pictures would be even better. It's a lot of money to spend to find out you don't like them.
Thanks,
Bruiser
