    I had forgotten what new tires felt like?
    Was worried that the new skinnier tires wouldn't go in mud as well as my 20 year old 32s?
    But OMG, they crawl, where I used to have to nail the skinny.
    Their still aired up to 35psi.
    I'll let them down to 15-18 to break them in soon.
    So far im pleased .
    They look better? My opinion!
    They defiantly go better!
    Not really anything to bitch bout?
    Now that I've driven, I do remember what a new knobby did for my 2-stroke dirt bike, back when I had some balls?

    Update on tires.
    With all the rain we've had in east TN, ive had plenty of tire testing.
    Aired down to 15psi now(had bead sealer applied with new tires),
    Benn all over the farm. Through 2ft muddy water, crossing 18in logs,
    Through the cow tromped muddy lanes,first new tires I've had, they amaze
    me each time I go for a ride.
    Twice while attempting to crawl, it stoped, backed up a few ft, hit it a little
    harder, and made it every time.
    Plenty of rolling hills to climb, lots of limestone rocks poking their head
    Above ground, some the size of a large dog, some the size of a large cow.
    Ant been stuck yet?

    Well time to try some places on the farm that I did not think it would go?
    Got 1 area 150ft hill with kinda stair step rocks 1 to 2ft tall fairly steep grade.
    It's right beside a line fence that needs periodic attention. Got brave once last year,
    And crawled down it, bumping rocks, almost standing it on front bumper.
    Had my 7 year old son with me, he was freaking out.
    Each time after that, he ask me not to go the rock hill.
    Well yesterday we were checking fences and I headed up the thing,
    Crawled right up, no problem. Can't believe where these things will go?

    I'm 60 years old, benn driving off road since I was 14( live 3 miles from lake bottom( they drain lake each fall till bout april). It was ok to ride then, now they fuss?
    Started on dirt bikes , can't believe the fun I had. Then at about 30, went to vw powered sand buggies converted to mud buggies , 14/35/15 rear tires, went places I thought were impossible, bout 1400lbs, 80hp, 70/30 weight distributon, went places 4wd trucks got stuck?.
    Then atv s. But the cj is the best, can haul, picnic, family, and friends.
    Goes places it shouldn't? Love my cj!
