    BF Goodrich Tires

    Thanks Thanks for the response Brigrat. I thought that 265's would be too big. I think Jeep should redesign the Liberty Wheel wells so that the vehicle can accomodate larger wheels. I guess this vehicle was meant for the "soccer mom" and not guys. I got it cause of my wife. If I had my way, I'd...

    BF Goodrich Tires

    265/75? Would 265/75's fit a stock 2003 Liberty or is thatgoing way overboard? I located a guy selling a set really cheap.

    Fuel quantity

    I was wondering if anyone knew the volume of fuel or miles travelled on a stock 2003 Liberty Sport once the fuel light comes on. I could not find anything on this in the User's Manual. KM KJ

    Recommended rims for off-roading

    Steel vs Alloy That's the opinion I had about the steel vs alloy rims; that weight is the main difference between the two and not necessarily the strength. I don't plan on doing any serious off-roading, just minor stuff so I think alloys should do fine.

    Fuel Consumption

    35psi? Did you say you're running your KJ on Nitrogen at 35psi? Why nitrogen? I definately have to look into figuring out how to improve my fuel consumption. I envy folks who claim that their KJ gives better mileage than a CRV. KM KJ

    Fuel Consumption

    Tire pressure I was just going to look into that.I think my tires are running at 28psi or 29psi. Bringing the tire pressure up to 33psi might help some.

    Alloys vs Steel Rims

    Fuel Consump I don't want the fuel economy to go downhill due to heavier rims and tires. Its nt like I'm getting great mileage anyway.

    Alloys vs Steel Rims

    Which type of rims are better for light off-road and highway travel; alloys or steel (chrome/painted) rims? I am planning on going with 245/75/R16 or 245/70/R16 tires for my stock KJ. No lift installation planned. Please advise. KM KJ

I have a stock KJ but my fuel efficiency is 13 miles per gallon. Second fill up it was 15 miles per gallon. I have...
