I have looked at this Special Jeep over and over since I found it here on the web. What a very nice piece of Jeep History! After finding this Jeep I realized it was one of the biggest Jeep Lovers of CJ5s in the country. I should have known.
Your Jeep Friend,

I bought and used them for a season these after running with beadlocks for years. They work but I kept getting ribbed by my fellow wheelers for not running bead locks at such low air pressures. I'd always had to explain that they're in there. I also felt that the tires looks naked without my beads. Don't get me wrong, I thought they did a good job keeping the tire on the bead, I never had a popped bead with them. Plus I could run this beadlock on the road if I had drove to the trailhead without worry of being pulled over (we got laws aginst beadlocks in PA). But I trailer my rig most of the time so visible beadlocks are not an issue. O wanted by old beadlocks back so I'm back to "real" beadlocks again. Ahhh much better.

Tyre also lacks a little in sideways grip off road. General above average all round performance. Runs smoothly on the road. Main down side is tyre has worn very quickly.

I put 285x70x17 on my 05 crew cab Z71 the week I bought the truck. I have 49000 miles on them and I am just now thinking about replacing them. These tires are so good off road I hardly ever need to use my 4 wheel drive until I had about 40K on them. On the farm they dominate the mud and sand. At the ranch they easily climb the rocks. Best tire I have ever had.

I HAVE A 99 C2500. THE BRIDGESTONES WERNT CUTTING IT AROUND MUDDY JOBSITES. I PUT 2 245/75R16 LOAD RANGE E TIRES ON THE BACK, THE TRUCK IS ABOUT 8,000 lbs. I NOW PASS A LOT OF STUCK 4X4S IN FRAME DEEP MUCK. ONLY STUCK ONCE, BUT IT TOOK A D6 TO PULL ME OUT. TIRE HAS GOOD ROAD MANNERS AND YOU CAN ONLY HEAR THEM IF YOU LISTEN FOR THEM.

Never had an issue on the road with these tires and i had them on a 1 ton ford that pulled 20,000 lb loads almost everyday on road and in the field. got me out of more than a few nasty spots. I highly recomend them for the price and performance
