Largest Functional Tire Without Mods

[TCMColorado]

Agree that any tire can fail when subjected to such conditions, but there were multiple other of the same vehicle running together on the same trails, with different tires that didn't. Once, easy write off, more than once, starting to form a concern (for me anyway)..

In my experience tire failures have more to do with the driver than with any specific tire model. I have a friend who is always getting flats regardless of the tire he is running and other friends who go years with out punctures or failures.

[QUOTE username=Ferrugenfish userid=9004165 postid=1332800035]Okay so it's good to know that "minor trimming" is required to fit 35's... ground clearance is not impressive and needs a little help. It sounds like one would need to upgrade the springs/dampers and probably control arms and give it a decent lift in order to fit 35's to fit without cutting in order to get both increased travel and ground clearance.... which is a shame. IMO, Ineos should have expected people to want to fit 35's... but hey, 33's don't suck, and as noted above, 35's might not even fit on the rear door anyway. Looking forward to someone trying all of this and finding the best solution to maximizing ground clearance without screwing up articulation/geometry.

In all honesty, INEOS hasn't built this as a bronco/wrangler competitor. 35s are not needed for any workplace, overland trip, or other utility usage. The only place where big tires are NEEDED, are arctic expeditions etc. I had a wrangler on 35s, it looked great, but realistically never needed anymore than 33s to go anywhere.

35s with a small lift etc is still better than most other 4x4s. but ill be sticking with 33s on mine!

Agree, ineos developed the portal axle version for serious lift. Otherwise just go 33s.
