Saw these tires on Ebay ne thoughts?

[TheBlueKJ]

I'm running e rated a/ts now and they ride great, not harsh at all. Then again I like a firm ride, I'm riding with 790s with a stock bumper, I can't tell a difference between the old and new tires :Big Laugh:

 

[yellocoyote]

Mine are also E-rated. So were my last 2 sets of tires. While not foolproof, I feel like they grant me a little bit of insurance on the trails.

Oh, and they don't ride bad at all... even at 40psi.

Well there ya go ... no need to worry

thx for the input you two

Yea I was going to go ahead and get the MT's I like the look and the ATR's are 10ply that I have now. Besides I dont think I would want less than 10ply on the trails here in CA due to alot of rock gardens and obsticals

Ride is a subjective thing so you may be happy with E rated tires on a Liberty. Personally I see no reason to make it ride any harsher than it needs to. E rated tires at 40 psi on a Liberty makes my teeth hurt just to think about.....

Most people on here ride with e rated tires, anything less on the trails is basically asking for a flat. Anything less then 40 psi on an e rated tire will make it bouncy and harsh

The max press on the KK for recomended tire pressure is 33psi according to the manf. sticker on the inside of the door. which are what my tires are at now

That is where I've been confused. Finding a good psi to run the tire. I've been told 30-33 but I've also been told with them being E rated it's better to go around 36-40psi or so. I did the chalk method but than was told that really isn't effective on newer tires.

I was told by fellow jeeper to look at the sticker on the inside of the door as it will show the recomended max tire pressure for the jeep. and it seems to be pretty accurate.

See, That is what I thought too. Until I made this post http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f200/bouncy-tires-53862/
and got 2 different answers so I've been sort of confused every since :icon_confused:

I would air them to where u like them and feel right. Imo

 

[Thelt]

The tire pressure on the door jam is for the stock tires. Other than possibly a stiff ride airing up E rated tires to 40 psi will not hurt them.

Exactly

Not as harsh as you might think - you should go for a ride with someone with that set up. Besides, KJ's are a porky beast... their curb weight is significantly more than anything else in its category. It's not like you're trying to throw a Tracker on a set of E rated tires - that, at 40psi, would be completely harsh. The heavy Liberty... not so much.

 

[Thelt]

Maybe it is not as bad as I fear. I have not ridden in one with E rated tires. My Titan was jittery in the back with them but even though a Titan is heavy all trucks get light in the back when empty.

Yeah, my old Ranger was fun. eek2.gif
