First, find out what legal restrictions there are.
Second determine the of use your for which your Jeep will be used? (Ex: mostly off-road, mostly on-road, 50-50, etc.) Where do you live (I'm familiar with the state)? You may wish to consider the UTQG figures, (Uniform Tire Quality Grading system.) You'll ave "Treadwear" (from 100-800), "Traction" (AA, A, B, C) and "Temperature" (A, B, C). To save space here, the more detailed descriptions can probably be Y-searched or Googled, or you can read the descriptions on the stick-on label of any brand new tire. Briefly, the higher the number, the longer the tread will last...under the same exact driving conditions.
*** In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you that I work for Big-O Tires. ***
Third, consider visiting a Big-O Tire store. Almost all of them have neat software thatyou can play with in order to select some rims (wheels). I don't know if this will get through, but try this link:
http://www.bigotires.com
Click on "Start Finding Wheels" then on the next page, click on "Click here to visit the wheel guide." These are probably the best deals you could find, excluding the local newspaper with sales of discontinued wheels. I strongly recommend AGAINST buying anything sight-unseen or from any online "great price" site or anyone's "List." You need to have a recourse shuold the wheels not fit or not look as good as you want.
Referring back to the "full disclosure" statement, if you're close to a Big-O Tire store, please check them out. They have the best warranty in the country.
And, in closing, I'd recommend the Big-O branded "Bigfoot A/T" tire. It's made by the Cooper Tire Company and has a superb tread design.(You may want to ask about "closed-shoulder" and "open shoulder" designs.) I live in central Colorado, and these tires are far superior to anything I've personally tried in the past, including the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A. Keep in mind the BFG made it's "name" in the Baja 1000 race in Baja Mexico. Now, just how much snow and ice do you think they get down there?
If you want more detailed information, please feel free to contact me.
Good luck.
