I know there are sooooo many factors, but assuming my alignment is good and I rotate them as often as I should, daily driving my car on roads (and offroad every so often) in Ohio (lots of snow in winter, warm in summer, etc), how long might I expect to see out of 33" tires on a 2000 jeep cherokee assuming the lift kit and tires are installed correctly. Also, if you were me, would you purchase the 5th tire and rim in case I get a flat, or is it rare that I would ever get a flat with these tires? any help would be great, i know it's a RANDOM question. |

He kept them inflated properly as well as rotated them often too. As far as the spare, I would say that if you could swing it deff. get it. I had some 38s on my truck and caught a flat out in the middle of BFE one time, no spare. SUCKED!!!! |

I've seen too many people pop a bead and have no spare. Although a bead break is easy to fix, (a spray of ether and a match) a simple swap is more ideal. |
