Yes, I'm using Cooper, Courser Traction tires. They are light truck tires and the Jeep is so light the air pressure has to get below 10 psi before they start looking low. They are beginning to show some age cracks so I've started looking for new tires. They have been discontinued so I'm looking for a close enough match. The closest I've found so far is Telstar Power King Super Traction II.

Now that is impressive. My dad always told me to replace tires after no more than 10 years even if they look good because the rubber gets old.

When I bought my Jeep in 1998 I was plagued with radial tires delaminating and damaging the body on the trucks and trailers I had. I got to thinking when I had bias tires I used to drive them until the tread was gone and never had a problem so I put bias tires on the Jeep. To this day I've never had a radial tire last. I think I would put bias tires on everything I have but I never buy a complete set of tires, it's always one or two at a time.

I work all the time so I don't get to drive the Jeep as much as I like. The tires only have 73,000 miles on them after 21 years. They are ready to be replaced now. They have age cracks and the tread is worn pretty thin on a couple. I bought new wheels and plan on replacing them this year. Just wish I could get some more Courser Traction tires.
