    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...

    Recommended rims for off-roading

    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

    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.
