You guys are hilarious! Loved the video. And I gotta say...no one has EVER explained tire sizes better than you did in this video. Thank you for taking the time to educate us on tire sizing and explaining what the sidewall numbers mean. Very helpful. Kudos!
A 35" tire and 2.5" lift kit is a great starter combination for any new JK. The 35" tire is a very good size tire for a JK. TeraFlex has a 2.5" BB and a 2.5" coil suspension option for you. Both will work great for what you need, the BB kit will be lower cost vs the 2.5" coil kit will raise the front 3.1".
I really REALLY like your videos especially when you show the range of options side by side like you do with the tires in this vid or the jeeps in the lift vid. Very helpful to see them all together. Thank you!
Excellent tire education for me. This really brought it all together. Thanks for the hard work. Next video we need to hear more from Jen. “Tires are big” made me spit out my coffee as you caught me mid-sip.
I’m a new jeep owner and I know this video is old but I love this! So informative and funny
Thanks for making this video! It was very informative and funny as all get out!!
We just purchased a 2016 Willy's with the stock mud terrain tires and we love it but definitely going to the 33's when they wear out.
Thank the lord I ran into this video, I’m looking to buy 35” tires and I have absolutely no clue what the heck I’m doing. This just explained everything, I understand now. Thank you!!
I'm a corrections officer, and found the work release and don't run off I signed you out joke was pretty funny! Definitely a helpful video to get my ideas rolling on what I wanna do with my jeep(once I get one)
New Jeep guy and was overwhelmed with all the jeep stuff and info out there! Thanks but your simple, funny and most informative tire size explanation on you tube. Glad to know I made the right tire size for my jeep and for my needs. I Just hit the subscribe button by the way! KEEP EM COMING
Welcome to the club! Give us a call anytime 801-713-3314
I have been researching wheels and tires for my Jeep for about 2 months now and this is the most entertaining and informative video I have seen. Thank you...... btw, I went with the 35's.
Just curious: Did you end up having to re-gear when you moved up to the 35s?
This was great, I know it’s older but the info here holds up! I run 35” MT Baja Boss on my 2015 JKU and love em
Right on!
LMAO! This is my first time viewing a +teraflexsuspension video. WTF! HILARIOUS! OUTSTANDING SIR! Please keep up the great work. You know I had to like and sub. Now on to some more vids. Thank you sir and your whole team as well. Semper Fi, RAH!
awesome video. I love your humor. I am in the process of buying a jeep and want to get all the info I can. I have watched all your videos because of the humor in this one. Great marketing strategy.
Really great video. The time and dedication of edit and quality is appreciated!!!
I'm so glad I found this video! I just got a Wrangler Unlimited and want to make some changes as soon as my wallet allows it. My past 3 vehicles have been cars and I've never made any changes, so I am a total newbie. Although I have no experience with any of this, I am so excited to learn, and this video was a great start!
Lol me too! Just finishing my second week of Wrangler ownership.... Overwhelmed is an understatement. Thankfully I'm about out of money for the time being so I will have time to learn more before making enhancements... At least the Jeep Wave is free... :)
We are running a 2" lift kit on our 1999 Wrangler with 32"s. So far so good!
I'd like to invite you to SHUT THE VIDEO OFF RIGHT NOW! OMG, laughed so hard
Did anyone else see see at 1:26 he hit the tire and she jumped away like she was expecting to get hit
When I asked Jen if I could " hit her up" for some help, I didn't think she would take it literally.
HeeHee...thanks for watching our lame antics. Dennis
Yeah she's def seen the back of that hand before.
She jumped
Chris brown should be there spokeman
His pimp hand is strong lol
Love the video. Great information and its very funny as well. You have really great comic deadpan timing.
Good info..35s look good for mild off road and street.. You have some hugely stunning scenery there btw!
Both of u guys r AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Smart, teach a lot and a big load of FUN!!!!!! Keep going guys!!!!!!!!!
If I was still in Utah, I'd have to stop by just the shake Dennis's hand... just because of this video. Classic.
Too funny! Very informative and the side by side comparison is just what I was looking for.
So glad!
This video was so good! Thanks for putting all that effort into making it because it was a great video and funny.
I run BFG LT315/70R17's with a 2.5" JKS suspension lift on my 2 door JK. Tires are extremely quiet and excellent off road. Very durable as in long tread life. I plan to replace them with the exact ones when the time does come.
LOVED THE VIDEO... Instructional/Informative and entertaining... Thanks a million...
I went for some Hankook DynaProMT 295-75-16 which are nearly 34". Pretty good, but next time I will try a 255-85-16. They are 33" tall but 10" wide which are better as they create a longer tyre-print which is what you want as opposed to wider tyre-print.
Good Vid.
How could you dislike this! It's very well done!
Awesome video. Info every first time Jeep owner can appreciate
My favorite video from you guys so far...
Thanks for sharing the info and to be actually funny too...
Very helpful I never comment on videos but this one is very helpful this help me make my decision on which tire to get thanks so much
Great video! So much useful information for new Jeep owners!! Looking forward to watching more videos!
P.S great humour!
Very entertaining and informative video, and love the music at the end, with the standard size tire LOL !!!!!.
you guys literally made me LOL at work!
You're pretty cool Ned Flanders
Uhhhh, thanks??
Dennis

made me laugh

Highly entertaining. Good, solid guidance. Thanks!
This video was hilarious. "I had to sign you out"
Great video! Just picked up a new JK, looks like 35's for now! Great comedy.
Fun group of people but it is nice to hear the whys and where fore's behind the thinking, Top Job Guy's/Gal's.
Very informative and entertaining! Great video Dennis!
Man Dennis, I wish you guys would cater to the TJ owners. You put out such great videos.
33's are the best for Daily Driver and Weekend Warrior
ar15freak And every woman who is a B cup says B cups are the perfect size.
Good Video Dennis & Jen!
I am a new Jeep owner, this has been very helpful.
LOL! I love the mug shots . Thanks for the info, very useful
You guys are awesome! the comedy it's on point love it
thnk u sooo much for this video .... now i know what is the right tires i can put on my jk :) thnks very helpful i go with 35 inch tires on my 2015 jeep wrangler sport
Great explanation and love the humor!
I live in montana with a 2003 Durango daily driver. 33s, no lift, on a 16x10 wheel, perfect daily that still let's me go anywhere in the mountains I need for hunting.
I think next month I'm gonna do a simple 2 inch torsion lift and maybe step it up to some 34s or 35 just to make it a bit easier. I dont need to go super insane. Youd be surprised just how effective 33's alone are at taming pretty much anything outside of full blown rock crawling
Hillarious and informative, love this thanks guys
I've been debating 33's or 35's on my 09 JK and this video helped me make my decision. 35's. I had previously been told that 35's will kill MPG and driveablity but it sounds like that's not the case. I'm running a 2.5 inch lift and considering adding a 1 inch body lift when I buy the wheels. I do plan to take it off road quite a bit and have already done so prior to the mods I'm making.
Good sense of humor, beautiful mountains and beautiful girl..
You're like the Bill Nye of tires!
Awesome video
This was entertaining AND informative, thank you!!
The work release line and flinch was so worth it LOL
very informative and funny, glad I found it, thanks!
An upgrade for my wj jeep was the stock wheels and tires on this jk. Even with a bb I had to cut my front bumper for clearance. I need a bigger lift :(
This sure is a great video I watched this before I bought my 33" TTC's and tera flex lift and level, 2" in the front 1" in the back, I'm thinking if I trim my fenders i could run a 36" tire, get that extra inch over a 35, and not have to buy another lift & 37/38's lol fingers crossed!!
Once again great video!
I don't know if it was part of the comedic aspect of the video, but at 2:21 the picture of the "Radial Tire" is actually a Bias tire. I love Teraflex suspensions and the videos are a good watch.
Awesome video! Thank you so much.
Hang on!!! at 2:00 the tire profile explanation is wrong. 60 or 75 (etc etc) for profile is the "aspect ratio" of the width. So it is incorrect to sat that a "60 series" in this case would be wider than a "75 series". There's no series here, it is the aspect ratio of the width in percentage. Regardless if the aspect ratio is 60 or 75 (or whatever), the width will always remain the same, if it's 255mm it'll stay 255mm regardless of the aspect ratio (profile) but the profile of 255 and 275 with the same aspect ratio (say of 75) will be different as 75% of 255 and of 275 is different in mm or inches.
the first number it as important as the second ie. 60% of 255 is less then 60% of 285. so the width of two 60 series tires is not be the same unless all size numbers are the same.
jaymanxxxx That's right, but it's not what he's saying in the video at asround 2:10
true.
Yeah exactly, this guy's explanation is wrong. The first number is the only one that governs width. All 255 tires are the same width. All the second number determines is sidewall height. So a 255/60 would be 255 millimeters wide, with a 153mm tall sidewall, and a 255/75 would be 255 millimeters wide with a 191 millimeter tall sidewall.
What size rims should I put on the 35 inch tire
Hilarious as usual. It was nice meeting you both at EJS. We just became the official retailer for the Ultimate Adventure. WoooooooooHooooooooo! Let's sell some TeraFlex!
You guys are a great team.
awesome video and very helpful.. thanks !!!
just sent mine in for a suspension lift today. glad im not a loser anymore :)
A small add for metric tire sizing. If we stay at your example 255/75, 255 is the width of the tire in millimeter and the 75 is the percentage of 275 that gives the height of the wall. 255*0.75=191.25 mm.
Nice video!
Thanks Dennis! Love the video.
aww she reminds me of my sister. very cute, and she looks so happy :)
Great Video! I can't wait to set up my 2012 JK.
Great video. Plenty of useful information.
I would always recommend minimizing the lift of your 4x4 vehicle. We run a Toyota Tacoma on 44" tires with a little over a 2" lift. We used to run it on 38" tires with no lift. It keeps the center of gravity lower and makes it easier to use. The tires do not rub into the body, because we do some extensive bodywork to fit the tires.
It is worth noting that we are in Iceland where we drive in snow when we are offroading so ground clearance because of rocks or boulders is a lesser issue. We encounter that kind of terrain on occasion, but for the most part it is trying to get a wider footprint on the snow so you don't sink as much in it.
The modified cars here in Iceland range from lightweight cars on 33" or 35" tires (that is considered small here) to 54" behemoths. Most run on 38" to 46" tires. Anything smaller than a 38" is fine for a day out in the mountains during winter, but you need bigger tires if you are planning for a trip for the weekend, unless it is really light vehicle. I am thinking Suzuki's here.
Thanks man for sharing the video you answer my question,
Nice info tanks I'm going with the 33 ss now
Now this is a great TH-cam video. Well Done!
thank you so much for this video. very educational in a snap for noobies lik e myself
thanks for the info but you have a Sahara there does this go for all jeeps I have a 2016 unlimited sport want to put 20s on with 33inch tires is that to much or do I have more room to work with?
This is an excellent video. Very informative.
background looks amazing !
Cracked me up..... funny video. Plus now I think im gonna have to upgrade !!!!!
Excellent video, keep it up..!..
thanks for the video, it was very helpful
Great informative video and I love the humor! Thanx!!
@TeraFlexSuspensions I am currently running a 35in tire on a 4inch lift with a 4.88 gear on my jku. I want to upgrade to a 38s, what upgrades will be necessary? Do I need to replace the front Dana 30 axle to do this ?
I have BFG KO2s which so far have performed great. I'm very happy with them. My question though is once I wear them out should I get them again or would it be a good idea to try out other tires?
I love this, you guys are great!
Great video! One thing you didnt mention is steering components need to be changed with larger tires. For example running 33's with a stock power steering set up to running 40's with a full hydraulic steering system.
I have a 2011 Jeep JK (2 dr). I want to do a 37-38" tire with a 4" lift. What performance upgrades (cheapest) can I do to help with added weight?
can you do a back spacing for a stock JKUR. I am looking at getting 35" Terra Grappers that are 13" wide on a 9 inch wheel. The website says it has a back space of 5. will they rub during steering at full lock
Yep I’m definitely a weekend warrior
33” it will be !
Maybe a little lift too 👀👀
Great video! Just to be clear, I would be able to put up to 33" tires on my 2014 JKU without any modifications whatsoever? I plan on using my stock 17" rims. Would the speedometer need calibrating or should I use spacers? The only lift I would like is a leveling lift for the time being. Any help would be appreciated, I am a novice. Thank you!
35 seem to be the way to go look great and you don’t need to modify much. Every Jeep I see with 35s look just right.
Why did she flinch when he walked up to the 40 lol.
Very informative series of videos, well done! However, it would really help if you addressed the issue of "actual" tire height. Hold a tape measure and show us really how tall they are. Also what lift would be needed to clear them. (W and W/out stock fenders Please!) TY :)
Question
I want to change the WHEELS and Tires on my 2017 F-150
it came with 17 in factory wheels
I want to put 20 or even 22 wheels on the rear, but keep the 17 in wheels on the front
My Question is will the truck have any issues with this setup
I have a 2012 Jeep wrangler Altitude edition and i was wondering if i could run the 33s on the stock rim, or the first set of tire
Dude, thank you so much for this video, really helps! :)
I have a 2004 jeep wrangler x and i'm getting a 4 inch rough country lift for it. which tire do you think would look best with that lift? I was thinking 33's but i'm not to sure.
38 vs 35 gas milage difference ? Is a super charger to increase gas milage worth it ? Please do a video specifically on modifications to save gas on lifted jeeps
very informative and entertaining to watch. thanks!
One of the best videos out there lol
