New shoes

Just got a set of 33x12.50x15 trXus M/T's. Much better than my old tires.






Love 'em.

thanks for the click free-ness.

I don't think they had too much trouble balancing them. One of them wanted 7 oz. of weight though, and they didn't have that much weight to add or something. So I can feel a little vibe on the freeway from it, but it's not too big of a deal.

I really like them so far, they've handled excellent in the wet and on pavement and are extremely quiet on the road. I'm going wheelin' next weekend though, so I'll learn then how good they are.

Tires look great!! I will be looking for new tires next summer. They look like they will grip well. Are they loud? And does your Jeep wander a lot with them?

By the way, is that light in the rear of your jeep inside? Doesn't the glass get awful hot?

thank! Well I was able to climb a boulder in a local park while raining with no spinning, other than the boulder kept moving..hahaah. They are suprisingly quiet, much quieter than my old wild spirit rvt's or my friends mtr's. I have a slight pull to the right, but it's because I need you hub and bearing assemblies, so my alignment is somewhat off. They don't rumble at low speeds either, like my old tires..

The light is in the inside, but it's only a 35 Watt halogen, it's plenty bright though. It's kind of impractical due to the refection on the glass from the inside, they work well from the outside though, which is why they're really there.

I think I will most likly go with Truxus when my XJ gets around to jumping up a few inches. I really like the look of them and they seem damn aggressive.
