@@wayalife good day sir, love pipi videos! She looks great! Question for you? What color are the rubi rims you installed on her? Black, grey, or charcoal? She looks awesome, just can't tell on video. Want something similar for my gladiator sport. Keep them coming!
3:44 am Spring Break 2024: Just finishing up a long weekend with loved ones off roading at Big Bend National Park Texas, earning another Black Gap Pass Badge. My stock 2020 JL Rubicon has done stellar service, here and Colorado’s Black Bear Pass, Poughkeepsie Gulch and other trails. Now it’s time to change the tires, so thank you for the suggestion! Happy Trails! 🤠
I love how you are evolving the jeep by staying in the bounds of stock-like expectations. Keeping the suspension, geometry, overall weight, and tire scrub radius the same is what counts most as stock. Everything else is just minor mods that makes life on trails better. Wonderful series @Wayalife 👍 thoroughly enjoy this content and I'm a huge fan of Pippi
I love this series that you are doing with Pippi. I feel that most of people don't realize how capable their stock 4x4 is, Jeep or otherwise. Hats of to the two of you for the great content and I'm looking forward to more.
I discovered this just recently. I bought a 2015 Wrangler Sahara to 'off-road' with some buddies. One friend has a 2023 Rubicon with all the factory bells and whistles (VERY capable). Another has a 2019 with all the after market bells and whistles. So long as clearance wasn't the issue (and it was) I could do everything they could on Pirelli Scorpion Road tires.
Loving it!!! This is exactly what I talked about on a previous Pippi Video.... Love the recycling and I'm sure you must have a spare 2½" lift kit floating around too 😁😂 Budget builds are often the most satisfying plus I'm Loving the almost "Stock Jeep Look"😍😍😍
Looks awsome! I want to thank you because of u I bought the same tire and size for my jeep unbelievable! One of the best things I have bought for my jeep before it sounded like a jet plane now I can talk to my kids going on the hwy with the doors off thanks again!!!
I did the black gap road trail in big bend, which is a badge of honor trail, with the stock Michelins. They did fine. That said as soon as they wore out I got better tires.
This video was great! I really like your video editing and I am so glad to see a video with clear dialog that stays on topic. I just got through watching "professionally" made videos covering similar installs and to get through those videos you have to watch or skip through all of the added filler and pointless banter.
Your right about how quite the Nittos are, i have the exact set on my truck. Im really injoying what all you have done with pippy and excited for more! Keep up the great work!
So much to love about this video. My dad had a few j10s, and I grew up in that truck. I love that you put nittos on pippi. I have a set of 35s on my red sport s two-door. I'm about to trade it in for a 2022 2-door Rubicon, and I may just keep it stock with those same tires, for a while until gas gets a little cheaper. Looking forward to watching more of pippi's videos.
Have those same Gladiator Rubi rims on my JLU Sport but with the Falken ATs. Love that stock but not really stock look! Looks factory but something different versus typical Wrangler Rubi takeoff rims/tires. I just went with JLU Rubi takeoff suspension + 1/2" spacers and no issue with rubbing. Pippi's looking great!
I really like the simple look of the Gladiator Rubicon rims. I took off the factory rims from my Gladiator Rubicon and put them on my Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4xe and it changed the look completely. I had to put the stock 20" rims/tires back on after a piece of metal tore a chunk into the sidewall of the tire. :( I will have to get it replaced before I go wheeling next week. Too bad Jeep will never make a 4xe 2 door. Love the looks of the 2 door. That is a classic Jeep look that will never fade.
I can't speak for everyone but we like them a lot, especially for how we use them on this Jeep. It should be noted that we did purposefully get ours in a load range C. We did this for ride comfort as the E, while strong in the side wall, is pretty rough.
As an owner of a Sport S with no lift on 33s, I knew those tires wouldn't rub. I've had mine fully flexed out and gotten no rubbing. I'm considering some 34s for mine. 35s will work with no rubbing if you're just running around town but with no lift, they start to rub when you flex them out. Upgrading to a 285/75/R17 would give a little more clearance but wouldn't be so wide as to cause problems when flexed. I might upgrade to a small spacer lift in the future, idk. The wife is 5'4" and already has problems getting in as it is.
Waiting for the Rubicon suspension upgrade. I put a 4 door hardtop shocks and springs into my 2 door soft top and got almost 2 inches of lift for less than $100
I was able to score 300 mile 285/70/17 BFG KO2s for $900, set of 5! Will be putting them onto Mojave rims I got for $200 on my Gladiator. Sure will be a big improvement over the stock Bridgestone Duelers. They wore out after less than 20,000. I was tempted by the Nittos though. Pippi is looking great.
Thank you, so happy to hear you enjoyed our video and the music we used. Not sure if it has a name, more like a description. That's how most royalty free music we buy is sold.
Surprisingly, in spite of what I had assumed, we did not see rubbing out on the trail. We did however see slight rubbing at a full turn and when hitting a bump in the road. I was able to address it with this. th-cam.com/video/M7AuI7OKHas/w-d-xo.html
Tires are worth spending the money on. Went cheap with the kumho road ventures on mine and they are great offroad. Plus the 75k mileage warantee is a plus if you ask me.
Hi I love all your videos and follow them all the time could you give me your opinion on a sahara with 255/70/18 if its possible toput rubicon wheels and tyres 285/70/17 and keep it stock
Nice can't believe you were able to hold out this long! Definitely shaping up to be a solid OEM+ unit. Probably as much or more than what a large percentage of people would actually need to get to and back home from wherever they may roam!
I love oem wheels. That was definitely right decision for this rig. Amazing what a little bit larger tire and aggressive tread can do. Real confidence booster too. Next may be coil spacers and little bit taller shocks and adjustable from track bar and raised rear track bar bracket center it all? Then beefier tie rod and drag link? It really never ends and becomes chain reaction, but i love it.
Nice choice of tires, both the wife’s JKU and my Tacoma wear ridge grapplers. Same size as a matter of fact. 30k miles on truck and around 25k on Jeep. Still have plenty of tread.
Looks great. A nice and simple improvement. Don’t forget to calibrate the speedo. Tazer? ProCal etc. you can install Rubicon front fenders if rubbing is an issue.
Thanks. We tested out ECRI on this Jeep th-cam.com/video/l_a-bI0ZMkU/w-d-xo.html but have used Tazer on a couple of other Jeeps as well th-cam.com/video/81_evB9At3I/w-d-xo.html. We did encounter a very minor rub at a full turn but not at a flex so we did this to address it th-cam.com/video/M7AuI7OKHas/w-d-xo.html. A lot cheaper and easier than installing Rubicon fenders.
Great choice of tires. I have a 2020 sport s and did just like you guys did and went up to 285/70/R17 but BFG KO2. Haven’t had an rubbing issues yet with moderate wheeling, but haven’t gone full flex. But you can resolve that issue by getting the rubicon high fender flairs.
Another great on and off-road tire is ProComp. They got me through the Rubicon trail with ease. I switched to KM3 a year after that trip, and I regret it every day on the road. Super rough. ProComp was smooth as butter on pavement.
Yup, we've run ProComp in the past and they are a nice tire that hooks up well on the rocks. They are made by Cooper and perform the same. A bit too soft for our taste though and found them to chunk and wear out fast due to the soft compound.
Great channel. Just got a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I’m salivating watching you with all the modifications that you do. Unfortunately I can’t afford it. Quick question can I put a 35 if not 33 tires on my Jeep. Thank you 🙏
Yes sir, the wait is over...baby got new sneaks...wait, could there be some more rubicon parts in that bin 😀 like maybe some suspension parts 🤔 Pippy looking tight...
Been holding out, playing the waiting game on 37" trail grapplers for the longest but I honestly see more and more people buying Ridge Grapplers and giving them pretty good reviews and given the fact there isn't hardcore wheeling in Florida I may just go that route. Might even swing for 38's, give my Gladiator some better proportions lol. Great vid as always from House Wayalife.
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video and I would definitely recommend these tires. Just make sure to get them in a load range C as E's will ride rougher.
The car look gorgeous. Every time I see a new video of this series I think 'sure it doesn't need it', but after the video my thought is 'how could it be without it before?' Thank you!
I absolutely love your videos! I have been watching regularly as I patiently impatiently await my first Jeeps arrival. I was born in Reno but moved a lot due to military family, but I moved back to Reno for several years again in my early 20s. I’m no longer in Reno but when I was I would often take my truck up to Caughlin Ranch to ride in the mountains, appreciating the trails and letting my dog run freely beside me. I miss it dearly. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video riding up there some time. Either way, keep up the great work Eddie! Love the content brother.
Of all the things you've done so far Eddie I really like what you did with that tailgate on that old Jeep you have. But I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place I currently run 33 on my stock JL however I really like to go up to 35 in I do have three and a half inch lift kit on it currently so I feel 35s will clear however some have told me to change my gears if I'm going up to 35 and some said my stock gear should be okay what do you think? Thanks
That Jeep looks great! I’m about to pull the pin on either a Willys 2 door or a Gladiator Ecodiesil. We already have a Wrangler Willys Ecodiesel. Seeing what you do with Pippi I would be totally happy with the 2 door Willys.
Just so that we're on the same page here, the 295 and 285 are how wide the tires are in millimeters. Assuming you'll be running your tires on factory wheels, I would stick with the 285 as they will do a better job of clearing at a full turn. If you want taller, look into 285/75R17.
As someone who owns both a TJ on tons but also a stock base model 2dr jk I really like to see how capable these little base model sports can be, not that I’ll ever actually take my jk off-road cause I have a TJ for that. Still nice to know what they actually can do
I love this! I have your exact jeep in a 4 door. How does the lower gear ratio handle the extra unsprung weight of those tires (particularly 5 & 6th gear). Do the LT tires ride harder than what you had or does the extra sidewall soak up the bumps better? I can feel the Rubi suspension coming next!! Love the music and video quality of your channel!
I can't say that I've ever though of 5th and 6th as being anything other than overdrive gears. I have found all the real power is in 3rd and it still is. We purposefully got these tires in a load range C. That helps them to be comfortable. What soaks up bumps better is running them at a lower than factory psi. I like to run about 30 psi. Happy to hear you're liking our videos 😎
What did you do with the TPMS sensors from the original? Did you put them in the new ones or just install without? And if you installed without…do you get a warning light on the dash?
Nice job & great presentation. You do well with the camera & explanation. The tire options are ubiquitous with brands, styles & targeted use. And each tire store, arguably, has a preference for certain tires over another . And to the buyer, costs, discounts & desires can push one this or that direction. For 4dr.'s I see many going with some type of Mud Tire, but with 2dr., I see tire shops recommending something "lighter". I had a two door Rubicon with MT's on for a while and then a friend (tire shop owner) recommended a Goodyear Duratrac, feeling that would handle the road, backcountry and occasional four wheeling better than a MT (for that vehicle). The Nitto Range Grappler is a fine tire, particularly for a 2dr.; hopefully it meets the needs & desires of the 2 drivers.
Thank you and while I would still consider it to be stock, especially being that the Extreme Recon can be bought with it from the factory, I don't think that's something we're wanting to do or at least, not at this time.
Function obviously takes priority over form, but it's a major bonus when form gets upgraded in the process 👍 I'm guessing a Rubi take off suspension upgrade is in the works.
Like I say in the video, I'm really surprised that we didn't destroy one of our factory tires sooner. Glad it held out but happier that we have tires we can trust now.
Looking great guys. Would love to see Pippi do that same trail as before, would be a fun comparison on traction.
That is something that we might be able to do 👍
I agree. It would be nice to see the difference the new shoes make.
Great idea I concur 👊

Love this entire project Pippi series. Very relatable to the Jeep newbies like me. Keep up the GREAT work !
Glad you enjoy it! 😎
Man, that looks really good! What a difference wheels/tires make on these Jeeps! Nice upgrade to Pippi! 👍😁
Thank you and yes, we totally agree 😎
Wow...what a difference the tires make! Pippi can now go out and dance and look nice at the same time!!!
LOL - they really do make a difference :)
It’s amazing what a set of wheel and tires can do for a Wrangler. I just put on some Rubicon take offs on my Sport and I love it.
Really does make a big difference.
my old orange jack doesnt hold its pressure anymore.. .. it still works just very slowly goes down over a period of hour or so.. thanks for the video.
Sounds like maybe your bleeder valve o-ring needs to be replaced.
Loving it!!!
This is exactly what I talked about on a previous Pippi Video.... Love the recycling and I'm sure you must have a spare 2½" lift kit floating around too 😁😂
Budget builds are often the most satisfying plus I'm Loving the almost "Stock Jeep Look"😍😍😍
Awesome! Glad to hear it and thank you.
My favorite part about this Jeep is watching you justify everything you change after saying you wouldn't. Now THAT'S the Jeep life. So relatable.
LOL - awesome 👍
With inflation and everything being so expensive these days, it’s nice to see a proper budget minded build that is still very capable and functional.
Awesome! We're glad to hear you can appreciate what we're trying to do with Pippi 😎
Pippy's looking awesome!!
Thank you! :)

I own a JL unlimited sport and find your videos to be really informative and fun. Thanks, dude
Truly flattered to hear you say as much and happy to know our videos are informative and fun for you to watch :)
Dude pippy just keeps looking better and better! Super excited to see how she performs on the trail now!
Thank you and we hope to put her to the test soon.
Man, that looks great, and they’ll be a lot more sure-footed on the trail! I run my Michelins on the stock steel wheels in the winter.
Thank you and I will have to admit, the Michelins really did well in the winter. May have to consider hanging on to them for just that.
Hell yeah. That's what I'm thinking about. It looks amazing. Now a Rubicon suspension to keep it stock as possible.. .🤘⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well, ya never know what's coming down the road.
I have the jl rubicon shocks and springs and sway bar link you can have for nothing to put on the awesome jeep
I'm really loving these videos. Great job all around, glad I found ya!
Awesome! Happy to hear you're enjoying our videos :)
So much to love about this video. My dad had a few j10s, and I grew up in that truck. I love that you put nittos on pippi. I have a set of 35s on my red sport s two-door.

Too bad Jeep will never make a 4xe 2 door. Love the looks of the 2 door. That is a classic Jeep look that will never fade.
It really is a shame about the 2-door. Stellantis has already stopped selling them abroad.
Great looking set of wheels and tires
I do think they do look good together. Thanks!
Wow!!! I'm looking forward to your next offroad excursion.
Hope to bring that to you soon :)
Seems like the Nitto Ridge Grappler is the “go-to” tire. Everyone seems to love them. Great choice!
I can't speak for everyone but we like them a lot, especially for how we use them on this Jeep. It should be noted that we did purposefully get ours in a load range C. We did this for ride comfort as the E, while strong in the side wall, is pretty rough.

Can’t believe the difference the new shoes makes!! Great video!
Thank you 😎
Waiting for the Rubicon suspension upgrade. I put a 4 door hardtop shocks and springs into my 2 door soft top and got almost 2 inches of lift for less than $100
Nice! Congrats to you on getting a good deal 👍
Amazing how much better it looks with that one change.
It is crazy but yes, new wheels and tires can totally change the look of a Jeep! 😎
Amazing what a new pair of shoes does for a jeep.
LOL - I totally agree :)
I was able to score 300 mile 285/70/17 BFG KO2s for $900, set of 5! Will be putting them onto Mojave rims I got for $200 on my Gladiator. Sure will be a big improvement over the stock Bridgestone Duelers. They wore out after less than 20,000. I was tempted by the Nittos though. Pippi is looking great.
If the Bridgestone tires wore out in less than 20,000 miles, you have a problem.
Good job. Pippi is looking great.
Thank you :)
Great video and good choice of final music. Whats is the name ?
Thank you, so happy to hear you enjoyed our video and the music we used. Not sure if it has a name, more like a description. That's how most royalty free music we buy is sold.

Glad to hear it, thanks! 😎
This jeep is looking sooooo dang good
Thank you 😎
Beautiful tires and wheels! I plan to upgrade mine soon!
Awesome :)
$1500 for 5 tires but not including the wheels.

Hi
I love all your videos and follow them all the time could you give me your opinion on a sahara with 255/70/18 if its possible toput rubicon wheels and tyres 285/70/17 and keep it stock
Yes, you should be able to do it just like you see in this video.
Nice can't believe you were able to hold out this long! Definitely shaping up to be a solid OEM+ unit. Probably as much or more than what a large percentage of people would actually need to get to and back home from wherever they may roam!
LOL - I think it would have been harder to do if this Jeep weren't so capable as is.
Pippi is looking great and still oem!!
Thank you 😎
Looking good can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you and glad to hear it 😎
I love oem wheels. That was definitely right decision for this rig.
Amazing what a little bit larger tire and aggressive tread can do. Real confidence booster too.
Next may be coil spacers and little bit taller shocks and adjustable from track bar and raised rear track bar bracket center it all? Then beefier tie rod and drag link?
It really never ends and becomes chain reaction, but i love it.
LOL - you are right, it's a slippery slope but one that we hope to keep within the realm of stock.
I’ve had that same tire on my JK. Love them! Can’t wait to see what happens to poppy next!
Awesome! Glad to hear you're loving them as much as we are.
Absolutely nailed the wheel and tire package! Great choice!
I would of preferred Ko2
@RON ANDERSON Thank you :)
@Cb2197 Nothing wrong with them either.

That is awesome!
Michelin LTX Defenders are great tires. Smooth comfortable ride, quiet and good gas mileage, also underrated off-road
I have to admit, they did a surprisingly good job.
Great video actually got me looking at those tires in a 35x12.50r17
Awesome! I think you'll like them a lot.
Looks great. A nice and simple improvement. Don’t forget to calibrate the speedo. Tazer? ProCal etc.
you can install Rubicon front fenders if rubbing is an issue.
Thanks. We tested out ECRI on this Jeep th-cam.com/video/l_a-bI0ZMkU/w-d-xo.html but have used Tazer on a couple of other Jeeps as well th-cam.com/video/81_evB9At3I/w-d-xo.html.

Nice! Next springs and shocks from JLUR steel bumper/tow package?? That’s what I have on my JL, easy 2inch lift!
Ya never know 🤪
I have boss Baja Boss a/t 33x12.50 on stock rims..2020 wrangler sport..no rub on the street...
Love watching this series! I cannot wait to get my jeep one day.
Awesome! Glad to hear it :)
Great choice of tires. I have a 2020 sport s and did just like you guys did and went up to 285/70/R17 but BFG KO2. Haven’t had an rubbing issues yet with moderate wheeling, but haven’t gone full flex. But you can resolve that issue by getting the rubicon high fender flairs.
It's a great size for sure.
Very video ! Very informative ! Can the stock gear ration handle it ? Any rubbing ? I have the same car and thinking about doing what you done.
Yes, the stock gears will be find. You will lose a little power but not really enough to matter. No rubbing.
Love the old jeep truck. Those tires look awesome
Thank you 😎

Without any lift or other modifications, you can run 33s, just like you see in this video. 35's do require a spacer lift at the very least.
Yes sir, the wait is over...baby got new sneaks...wait, could there be some more rubicon parts in that bin 😀 like maybe some suspension parts 🤔 Pippy looking tight...

Might even swing for 38's, give my Gladiator some better proportions lol. Great vid as always from House Wayalife.
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video and I would definitely recommend these tires. Just make sure to get them in a load range C as E's will ride rougher.

Every time I see a new video of this series I think 'sure it doesn't need it', but after the video my thought is 'how could it be without it before?'
Thank you!
LOL - glad to hear you're liking what you see.
I absolutely love your videos! I have been watching regularly as I patiently impatiently await my first Jeeps arrival. I was born in Reno but moved a lot due to military family, but I moved back to Reno for several years again in my early 20s. I’m no longer in Reno but when I was I would often take my truck up to Caughlin Ranch to ride in the mountains, appreciating the trails and letting my dog run freely beside me. I miss it dearly. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video riding up there some time. Either way, keep up the great work Eddie! Love the content brother.
Sorry to hear you had to leave the area but glad to hear you enjoy our videos. I'll see what I can do about your request.
Of all the things you've done so far Eddie I really like what you did with that tailgate on that old Jeep you have. But I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place I currently run 33 on my stock JL however I really like to go up to 35 in I do have three and a half inch lift kit on it currently so I feel 35s will clear however some have told me to change my gears if I'm going up to 35 and some said my stock gear should be okay what do you think? Thanks
That Jeep looks great! I’m about to pull the pin on either a Willys 2 door or a Gladiator Ecodiesil. We already have a Wrangler Willys Ecodiesel. Seeing what you do with Pippi I would be totally happy with the 2 door Willys.
Honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with either 👍
I really like those Rims and Tires!
Thank you 😎
Great video and excellent content. But, my favorite part was watching the J truck 😎
LOL - Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I like Pippi’s front bumper, but what’s your fix for rubbing out on the trails??
Actually, we didn't have the kind of rubbing we were expecting. What we did have is this though... th-cam.com/video/M7AuI7OKHas/w-d-xo.html
@@wayalife Thanks for the reply! What bumper is on Pippi ? It almost looks factory
@@Caleb59826 It is. You can see it here th-cam.com/video/D4JvHX0Hj4I/w-d-xo.html
Wow! Looks awesome!
Thank you! We're pretty happy with the transformation too 😎
So rubicon take off suspension or Mopar lift coming to keep it stock-ish
You never know. Please stay tuned to find out 😎
this still counts as stock, for all those people that are gonna complain about it
Thank you! We think so too 👍
Wrong….Pipi’s Nito Ridge Grapplers are not stock….this is fact….not opinion
the tires would have needed to be replaced after some time anyways@@jsantiago5896
Excellent video. Jeep looks superb. I have a 2 door as well and just want bigger tires. What are your thoughts on 295/70r17 vs 285/70r17?
Just so that we're on the same page here, the 295 and 285 are how wide the tires are in millimeters. Assuming you'll be running your tires on factory wheels, I would stick with the 285 as they will do a better job of clearing at a full turn. If you want taller, look into 285/75R17.
@@wayalife thank you sir. 🙂
@@wayalife was looking fo that beefy stance without 35s. I do not want 35s at all. bigger tires no with maybe a 1.5 in lift for AZ deserts
We are running these 285/75R17 without any lift. If you run wheel spacers or new wheels with less back spacing, you can run a wider tire.
As someone who owns both a TJ on tons but also a stock base model 2dr jk I really like to see how capable these little base model sports can be, not that I’ll ever actually take my jk off-road cause I have a TJ for that. Still nice to know what they actually can do
Did you have to adjust anything for the spare as far as adjusting the brake light up, or adjusting the rubber spacer pieces or the camera housing etc?
It's a tight fit but it'll just work as is with this tire size.
Love this guy and his videos
LOL - thank you. Happy to hear it 😊
Those tires really improve the look! Love my ridge grapplers on my JLU!
Thank you and glad you like yours too!
I love this! I have your exact jeep in a 4 door. How does the lower gear ratio handle the extra unsprung weight of those tires (particularly 5 & 6th gear). Do the LT tires ride harder than what you had or does the extra sidewall soak up the bumps better? I can feel the Rubi suspension coming next!! Love the music and video quality of your channel!
I can't say that I've ever though of 5th and 6th as being anything other than overdrive gears. I have found all the real power is in 3rd and it still is. We purposefully got these tires in a load range C. That helps them to be comfortable. What soaks up bumps better is running them at a lower than factory psi. I like to run about 30 psi. Happy to hear you're liking our videos 😎
What did you do with the TPMS sensors from the original? Did you put them in the new ones or just install without? And if you installed without…do you get a warning light on the dash?
Nice job & great presentation. You do well with the camera & explanation. The tire options are ubiquitous with brands, styles & targeted use. And each tire store, arguably, has a preference for certain tires over another . And to the buyer, costs, discounts & desires can push one this or that direction. For 4dr.'s I see many going with some type of Mud Tire, but with 2dr., I see tire shops recommending something "lighter". I had a two door Rubicon with MT's on for a while and then a friend (tire shop owner) recommended a Goodyear Duratrac, feeling that would handle the road, backcountry and occasional four wheeling better than a MT (for that vehicle). The Nitto Range Grappler is a fine tire, particularly for a 2dr.; hopefully it meets the needs & desires of the 2 drivers.
Glad you enjoyed our video.
Looks so much better!
Would it still be considered “stock” with a Mopar 2” lift?
Thank you and while I would still consider it to be stock, especially being that the Extreme Recon can be bought with it from the factory, I don't think that's something we're wanting to do or at least, not at this time.
Function obviously takes priority over form, but it's a major bonus when form gets upgraded in the process 👍 I'm guessing a Rubi take off suspension upgrade is in the works.
Ya never know what's coming next. You'll just have to stay tuned 😁
First time i took my jeep out i got stuck in the middle of no wear with a hole in the side wall and from that moment on i buy tires first
Like I say in the video, I'm really surprised that we didn't destroy one of our factory tires sooner. Glad it held out but happier that we have tires we can trust now.
