Anyone go with more narrow 35” tires?

[DanW]

Here's the narrow 35" Sticky Mickey's on Poison Spider last weekend. I was aired down to 15psi. It's pretty easy to see in this video how well they caterpillar over obstacles when aired down. Very grippy.

Hats off to you, buddy! You get the Three Pedal Badge of Honor! And, you did it with the taller final drive ratio (non-rubicon) and standard transfer case crawl ratio! You get a three leaf gold cluster with that merit badge for that!

Keep the manual alive! (My JT is an auto, but my JL is a manual and has done Moab 3 times! I love it....It is fun, and engages you more, but when someone knows what they are doing, like you, it is second nature.

Great video! Love the pizza cutters....I'll be putting 35x11.5 on mine if it ever wears out the current set of Kendas.

Pizza cutters definitely good in the snow but for rocks wider widths I like better

What’s the stock Rubicon 7 inch wheel backspacing? 44 or 54.?

disregard found it 44.4 Ish

Nope, they're good everywhere.

Were you getting any rub at the top of your right front tire at that flex?

No I wasn't. With the pizza cutters and the standard width axle, it tucked up into the fender just barely, and sitting on the bump stop. That's with a 2" lift then. I'm at 3.5" now so even more chance of reducing that possibility.

Thanks for including your lift info. Since mine is a stock Mojave I’d have about 1” less clearance at full articulation than you had, so I’d probably rub a little at the top of the wheel well.

If you're still using the stock rims, they'll tuck under the Mojave fender flares.

Just did the MT Baja Boss 255/85 R17. Stock, Max Tow. No lift or anything.

What tire pressure are you running? I’m picking up a set tomorrow from discount tire?

I'm running 42-46. When I talked with MT, gave them my door tag info, they told me 46.

awesome. Looking at tire load chart to compare to stock tires, it seemed like 41 psi would give comparable load rating.

I've seen some people say MT told them 42 but they seem to disagree and think it should be 35-37. I’ll probably start at that 41-42 mark

I never understand why people would disagree with the designer/manufacturer of the tire.

I've been running these since mid 2023, running that pressure, and excellent wear with them. I just replaced one that I damaged out in Moab, so comparing that one with the others, not a huge difference in tread wear.

human nature. We all think we’re smarter than everyone else

awesome! Should be perfect then. How many miles do you have on them so far?

I put them on at 77,800 and I'm at 92000 now so I guess that's 15k.
