for my dads '99 Tj, we picked up a really nice set of Goodyear Wrangler R/T tires. theyre about 95% tread. got them off an old racing jeep that hasnt raced in 10 plus years. they were stiing in a pile in a corner of the building. theyre the 31x11.50 size. i know they made the 36x12.50 for military use but from the research i have pulled off, theyre over 15 years old. they offer an aggressive look with good traction in the deeper mud. so the real ? is: are these tires a good choice for a vehicle that will have about 2000 miles a year on it? there is no dry rot or cracking. like i said theyre in amazing shape, and if they had a 33x12.50 size, they would definitely be on the Cj! are they a good or bad choice? from my research guys have been saying theyre too old to run on the road, even in good shape. What do you guys think?
