Tire size for a 3b h55 bj42

[Ambrew]

I'm looking into tire for my resto, and was wondering what people's experiences were. I think I have about 2" of lift, suspension is of unkown origin althought It may be from ome judging from the wraps.

My first thought would be for 33x 10.5 bfg at. I will be doing some highway. Any suggestions to a more agressive at capable in winter would be nice!

Am I headed for trouble with a 33" tire? Rims will be 15".

I run 33x10.5 BFG KM2's on my BJ42 and they do fine but the AT's will likely do better in the winter. I'm going to try siping my KMs's this winter to see if that helps

what trans you running?

I have 255/85/16 toyo mt's on my 42. ( 5 speed 4.1 diffs )


Pretty much the same as a 33 10.5.

Drives nice. I rarely go over 90 kph as I live on an island, but it puts along happily at 80-85 in 4th. I don't use 5th all that often.

I have a turbo and I can get up to 100 easy enough, just not in that big a rush usually.

33 skinny is nice for a NA 3B H55F.
a true ice radial is the best for winter driving, once you try them you will never go back to an AS or a normal winter tread.

235-85-16s here I like them

I've run bfg at in 235 85 16 on my tacoma in winter with success. Any suggestions on a more winter minded all' rounder?

I know nothing about ice driving but for all other conditions I like the 33 x 10.5 BFG Baja on my BJ 42

Just put a set of bfg at 33 x 10.5's on. They do have the mountian snowflake symbol so they are ice rated. A friend has a set on a chevy and he loves them in the snow. I'll post more when I get a better chance to test them out. I will say they steer way easier than the almost dead 31 x 10.5 bfg mt's that I just took off. Amd they look better too. Ome 2" lift. One drive. No rubbing. Yet

Lots of the locals around here run the Goodyear duratracs. They have winter sipes, but still fairly aggreassive.

I have 235/85/16 Cooper STT on my bj42 daily driver. Great tires, good looking,
excellent in mud!!


Here you can see them in mud-action and how they look.

750/16 for the work truck look.
