THK's 86 4Skinner Build-Up (My Fiancee was hit in my '12 Focus Today)

[twistedtoy92]

Check out my 92 and 85 builds, 7 leaf packs flex like a madman!

[twistedtoy92]

Tire size is to your preference..... bigger equals less power and mileage if you daily drive and need lower geared diffs or dual cases when crawling.....

[THK Matt]

Gears and or duals are a given. Just wantin feedback from those who have ran what im looking to do.

I said cl specials.
if you look for a while you can always fing great deals

I say 35s are the perfect tire size if you dont do anything hardcore, and 37s are 2nd

[twistedtoy92]

I agree! What is your frame ride height at the moment?

[86bobbedtoy]

personally I love 35 mtrs or toyo mts
but I also like to get into deep snow and mud so thats the only reason I always go bigger tires.
honestly my last jeep on 35s went everywhere I wanted to go, but never got into crazy snow or mud

[THK Matt]

I like crazy snow. We got dumped on in town last night. 8-10in of sticky snow. The mountains r just calling to be wheeled

tax time ill be workin with like $1500. so depending on what ill still need will determine on what tires ill get new or if i go CL special. :] id love a radial, those are really expensive though.

If you arnt driving crazy far to go wheeling and dont plan on driving it everywhere get iroks In my opinion

[THK Matt]

itll be in town a lot actually and ill drive it often, especially if the snow is like this in town like it is today. it will be my daily to go to work which is like 4 blocks away lol. Im pushin towards iroks if i can budget them.

[twistedtoy92]

Iroks are great for wheeling but daily driving lots of pavement will wear the out of them.... Toyos are excellent in both wheeling and daily driving.... personally i'd stick to 37''or smaller from my experience....
I have a set of TSL 34/9.5/15's on my 93, I'm really curious to see how they handle in the snow 

[Dingman.]

I dont think i would buy another set of toyos unless i got a great deal.   Those things are pricey and heavy!!

Plus now that the runner isnt my dd id be glad to get rid of the toyos for some 39.5" iroks again

That my friend is very true. I may have to look into an irok radial or a MT radial of some sort.

Ive always wanted iroks. Toyos r very heavy indeed

Yes they are radials and they got pretty expensive

[THK Matt]

36/13.5-15 Irok Bias Ply - $1160
36/13.5-15 Irok Radial - $1552

you will save alot of money if you buy used on wheels.
no sense on buying new

[THK Matt]

Im not buying wheels? I have a set of 15x8s with nice BS and a negative offset. Did you mean Tires?

I ment when you buy used tires on cl you can usually find them on wheels-rims for no real difference and you dont have to fumble with having them dismounted and mounted, thats more money saved

thats true too. craigslist will happen first, if nothing then its new tires.

and i have a buddy with an old style tire machine. so all ill have to pay for is balancing
