Pro Comp Tires

I am often asked what tires I am running on my Jeep Wrangler.  So, let's find out what tires those are and how they are doing after so many miles of on pavement and (my favorite...) off-road driving.

These are the same set of tires I had installed when I bought and built up my Jeep with the American Expedition Vehicles Dual Sport 2.5 inch XT Suspension Lift.

This Pro Comp Tire Model is the Xtreme M/T (Mud Terrain) Tri Ply
Specs are LT315 / 70 R17
This gives you a 35" tire on the 17" Method Race Wheels rim.

These tires are supposed to go about 40,000 miles and because they are wearing so well, will probably continue to provide good performance beyond that point.  I am rotating these tires every 6,000 miles and that includes doing a five tire rotation (putting the spare into the mix).  As all tire shops will say, they recommend tire rotations and I support that as well, including the fifth tire.

I am also asked about tire noise.  If you are adding a more extreme tire to your rig for more aggressive off-roading, then tire noise should not be one of your (main) concerns.  And if you don't like the loudness of your tires, you can turn up your radio a little louder.  These tires do put off more noise than your neighbor's Camry (I'll admit), but overall, are fairly reasonable on the "loud tire" scale.  I am sure there are quieter tires, but there are also noisier tires.

Afterall, the point of a more aggressive tire is its performance off road.  I have driven these tires in California mud and sand, Moab slick rock, rain, snow, and ice.  And the Pro Comp continues to perform.  When the time comes, I will definitely consider these Pro Comps as my future replacement tire.
