Thanks, she is a work in progress. Got to test out the 4.5" Metalcloak Game Changer with the rocksport shocks and my new 37" Cooper STT Pro's on that trip 2 weeks ago, those tires with that lift is a great combo and I am more than happy with the resultsWelcome the the Jeep forum Ryan ~ thanks for taking the time to join us.
Great looking Jeep.
I like the rocksports, but I think I can make the ride even better. I have a lead on a set of ARB OME BP-51, so we will see what happensWelcome Ryan! Glad your here. How was the ride with the rock sports?

What psi do you have in your tires?I like the rocksports, but I think I can make the ride even better. I have a lead on a set of ARB OME BP-51, so we will see what happens

Perfect. So you walked me into a question I have always wondered about. You have a load range E tire, I have them on my TJ also, and they should run 65 to 80 psi. We run them at 30 so the tire runs flat on the road and for a better ride, but we never fully stretch the cords. When the tire rolls without the cords stretched, more heat is built up and the tires should wear out faster. BUT, can anyone prove or disprove this?I have Cooper STT Pro's 37x13.50r17 load range "E"
My Kumho's were also "E" rated, and even though you can run them at 65+ psi that is if you purchased "E" because you NEEDED them (as in a HD or Superduty) for a light vehicle like a Jeep under 30 psi is what you need to run flat, do the chalk test if you have not already. Those Kumho's got 50k+ miles on them and still had tread to spare... So i am going to say there are many more factors that go into this question, like: Rubber compound, weight of vehicle, avg speeds, psi, and driver input (how you drive).Perfect.
