First of all there are 2 different tire sizes. 1 is the standard which is in inches. Like mine are 33in tall 12.5in wide 15in rim.

Yours are metric, So you have a 235mm tall tire. The 2nd number is actually the aspect ratio of the height, which gives you your width. So your width is 75% of your height. With a 15in rim.

I have mine mounted on stock rims 6in wide. But with this large of tire there is enough room on the side walls for the flex. A smaller tire will may not be able to flex enough.

It all depends what tire size you want to make it fit. Go to any tire manufactures web sites and you can see tire sizes. And you can google tire size calculators to convert the metric to inches.

I forgot I have a few more pictures from the other week to post up.

Here is a large mud hole I went into. I stopped when I saw the water coming in through the door seal.








Here is just a muddy trail.






Here is my friends Jeep that tired the mud hole first.



Here are the Youtube Videos.

Thanks! It is actually is not that quite, I was just using almost no throttle at all. I got a Flowmaster 40 in it. I don't like it too loud anyways, the truck will show what it can do Vs what it sounds like it can do.

As for a name, nothing that stuck but a few were Mean Green, Biggie, Mag (Short for Magnum). I'm open to suggestions.

Here is a one exhaust video. The 2nd Video is a hill climb, you can hear it pretty good since I was on the throttle hard.

Yes I am referring to your Avatar pic. It looks like it might be a movie seen, or something.

LOL! Ya I agree you can never have too much fun. I love my truck, I do push it hard but I do take care of it.

As for the winch "YES" it works and great. For the first time I got to extract someone that was stuck. I will post up a some pics/videos of it when I get it from my friend.

Here is one video from the last trip, my friends 2003 Jeep TJ. It has 4in lift 33in mud tires. Mile marker Winch.

i'm not entirely sure where the pic came from. it was supposed to be animated,but i figured its fine for now.

i remember the last time i went mudding my foglights died from being in the mud. it got into the assemblies and killed the bulbs.
