tires on RRC

[signalMTB]

are we too new here to have a "show me your tires" thread? I'm about to replace mine on my 94 RRC...2" lift, I was running 245/75 Duratracs...I really want something more narrow/tall and like a Michelin XZL but not buying a used tire. Also like the CLAW from Treadwright, but not buying a retread. There's others out there similar that seem like Korean knockoffs.


Let's see some pics of some tires on RRCs, be sure to post up size, name and lift if you have one

265/75-16 Goodyear MTRs
2" lift


After running this width though, I would go back to 235/85-16.

235/85x16

They will work on a RRC without a lift even.

Pics of BFG's in this size. 2" lift, but it also was running heavy bumpers:

nice, keep 'em coming. Anyone running those Lassa (Michelin xzl) tires in the US? Or what about a Deestone Extra Traction MT? Anyone know of anything in the US similar to either of these and isn't a retread or pile of crap?

no way to edit posts here it seems...so I'll add...anyone have any comments on BFG MTs vs Kenda Klever? Only about a $175 price diff on a set of 4 (BFG more expensive).

bringing this thread back from the dead..

Any idea on how large of a tire I can store in the back standing up on the drivers side ala stock RRC's..

7.50-16 and 245/75R16 will fit, after very moderate sheetmetal modification. You may want to relocate the spare retaining screw hole up on the inner rear quarter panel.
