tire question

Post by ZIGGY K »

my neighbor has a set of cooper discoverer LT 's on his jeep 31x10.5x15's. the tires look great and he loves the traction in snow. i got on the cooper tire site and checked the specs to see these tires ran at a small diameter of 30.2 and a tread width of 8.2 . are these a small 31 that may fit , with no t-bar crank ? i noticed that the bfg all terrains run at 30.5 and 8.5 :?:

Most likely you will rub when flexing or making sharp turns, they may even rub with a TB crank

If you dont have atleast a BL then YES they will rub crank or no crank

You will need at least a 2" BL, and a slight t-bar tweak.
That is my best guess.
