    30 inch TJ tyres

    I live in QLD where the regulations seem to be a little more severe on what you can/can't do to your TJ in terms of tyres and lifts..just wondering if there is such a thing a a good 30 inch tyre for the TJ

    30x9.5 MTR will be the next set of tyres fitted to our volvo - if that's any help?

        We run 31 stt's and cops see us all the time,
        we live down the road from the kingston cop shop.

        inside guards, looks good and behaves off road.
        even disconnected rubs only at extreme's and then its not so bad.
        YOU WILL HAVE FUN, YOU WILL HAVE IT QUIETLY, AND YOU WILL HAVE IT NOW!!!!

          I don't live far from Blackpearl and i run 31" MTR's and have been pulled over many times for RBT's and speeding tickets in the last couple of years and never had anything mentioned. In fact, when i was pulled over in Springwood last year by a traffic copper who defected me for no mudflaps he didn't even mention the tyres.
          Softtop TJ, 2" lift, 980 AT's, SYE, 4.11 ratios & locker, 5 string Banjo.

              Theres lots of good tyres in this size range in a more agressive tread pattern, just go and look through a few tyre manufacturers web sites to see for yourself.

              I think 30's are a much better option for a standard TJ than putting 31's on from a gearing aspect. Do some searches on how fitting 31's alters on-road performance with standard gearing to draw your own conclusions.

              I've also run this size on a 8" rim and they worked quite well, so you've got a stepping stone for further mods if you so desire.

                I bought my TJ new with 31"s, unfortunately the paperwork only said tyre upgrade and not 31"x10.5" tyres.
