You should have color matched the bolts. That would have set it off even more! Sick setup!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I might color match another piece of the wheel!

[@Jackal_Blitz]

I was thinking his tow hooks should match the bolts, kinda like a 392 color scheme.

[@JeepYotaAdventure]

Great choice! Best looking Tire on the market imo. Please keep us posted on road noise, wet roads & PA snow performance compared to KO2. Thanks!!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Will do!

[@garym9433]

Matt, interesting tire choice. The wheel/tire setup looks absolutely beautiful. Excellent contrast and color for your JL. Congrats.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks so much!

[@timmcdaniel4922]

Nice choice of wheels and tires. I took your advice and bought a 23 JL from Dan Cummins. You should raffle those factory Xtreme Recon wheels? They would look great on my new 2 door.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Already sold them! Maybe a giveaway in some other parts!

[@solarmaple]

I was thrilled I saw my comment featured on the video; so much that I hollered at my wife just to check it out 🤣. Your ride looks awesome, man. Time to start playing with it! Cheers from Calgary, AB!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Glad to have you here!

[@ericjk_crazy_train5382]

use one of the beadlock bolts and a large flat washer when you are trying to get the top bead set. Makes getting the bead down much easier.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Good idea!

[@ca7889]

Those Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T is a favorite on the trail in my area and let's just say we really don't get the snow. Great choice.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

You got that right!

[@doorkicker8507]

Love the tires. I too am looking to upgrade my 37’s on my gladiator. These tires are extremely expensive though. So I am leaning to Pantigona M/Ts. Heard they are very quiet on the expressway. But are really good off road. And wear well. Good luck on your upgrades.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Appreciate it!

[@justinjess7776]

I have the pats on my gladiator 37 12.5. I love the tire very quiet because they are soft. Mine are hard to balance but I am diligent about rotating and balancing. Every 6k. Tires now have 25k and still more than half the life. Just my .02

[@doorkicker8507]

@@justinjess7776 Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@alfa8822]

Did you have your tires balanced? I have mud terrains and tire shop professionals tell me that type of tire is soft so they need to be balanced regularly. I found that to be true. I have mine balanced every time I rotate my tires. Makes a difference.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Getting them balanced this week!

[@ryannewazada2102]

Aloha Matt. This just makes your Wrangler looking 👀 awesome ✨.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you!

[@emerrilljr]

Matt, The set-up looks GREAT!!! Nice job showing how these together...... THANKS.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you!

[@towelies4884]

Great looking jeep with those wheels and tires.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks!

That was awesome. All I could understand is TPS and beeds. Actually need to watch videos on what beeds does. But keep this up. The jeep looks awesome. Thank you.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Glad it was helpful!

[@supporterofsanity]

Nice set up! Maybe you could do a video for the wives to explain to them why we need new tires before the other ones have worn out😬

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Lol now that’s a good idea!

[@jorgevizcarra4437]

You should color match the rings like you did on the ER wheels. Would be sick on the tank headlock 🤘🏽

[@DIRTROADCRED]

That would look sick!

[@kabar23]

Hard to argue about nailing the "look". Awesome! Looking forward to a full review and honest impression compared to the tried and true.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great video idea!

[@williamh6547]

I'm liking the combo, I run the exact same tire on my current 392, tech note:: 28 psi on them tires is sweet spot for even tread wear 👍👍I also like the color of the wheels, I think it will look great with your jeep color. I was hoping you would get the 40s though 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂. I went with the 40s Patagonia MT02 with the 4:56 gears for my 23 392 Extreme Recon which will be delivered Jan 9th, 40 is the limit with the 4:56 . Great video, 👍👍👍looks really good on the jeep

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Awesome! I think 40s will be in the future for me!

[@trevorgardner1460]

Great selection on the Mickey Thompsons…I put 37’s on my 2021 Rubicon 4Xe and love them.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Awesome!

Looks like a sharp set of wheels. Congrats Time for a trail test ? AOAA back open this Sunday !

Dude perfect wheel and tire setup! Love them both. I’ve heard the same about the Baja Boss by Mickey Thompson tires that they are good! So you done great brother. Now enjoy them!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Appreciate it! Very happy!

[@Sam1986E]

Legit! 37s are the way to go!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

They look great!

[@michaelhewett6969]

Jeep is looking pretty bad ass guys!! Love the wheels and tires. Keep up the great videos.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks Michael!

[@toddabbott3605]

Love watching your build! I, too, have the ‘23 XR and am hoping to do 37” with -12/-18mm offset with the stock XR set up (several folks in the forums run the KM3 37 with 0mm offset and a bump stop adjust in the rear). It would be cool to see you try your spare on your Dad’s rig to see if they fit - you know how folks love to see how big of tires you can stuff on stock set up 😊

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Great idea!

[@ArtbyPatrickPetruccello]

I am looking at the Mickey T boss AT for mine in 37 and sticking with the stock 2020 rubicon rims...only off reading will be on beach for a while.

Great looking setup, I placed and order with Lindsey ( unfortunately Gobi was no longer an option ) now to sit back and wait for the jeep to be made. System shows TBD.

wow 37 nice man good choice way better than puny 35s with some people say to put on but the 40s would’ve been sick also, like you’re choice of KMC rims and love your choice of tires I think the Mickey Thompson’s look great and perform well :) call I love how you make videos for the JL’s 2.0 turbo motor people don’t understand the pottentioal

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks for the comment! 40s will be on in the future for sure!

Those are aggressive looking tires and great looking wheels. Am looking forward to see how you like them. 👍

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks Dennis!

[@thomaskrutulis2289]

Glad we agreed! You chose wisely and it looks great without parts stress and the xr gears with turbo prob not a big loss. You should do a drive impressions vid for noise, handling on dry wet mud, accel and fuel Econ. Inquiring minds

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Good idea!

[@drewq463]

How do you think the tires will handle the snowy cold freezing winters of PA?

[@JeepYotaAdventure]

I wonder the same thing. I also love the Boss AT's which have 3PMSF rating. If the MT's handle snow and rain like the AT's, I'm sold on the MT's.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

We will see this winter!

[@thomasallen3818]

Great looking wheels and tires!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thank you 😎

[@KaosJeep]

After going to the Clayton 3.5" , do you see a need for a custom driveshaft? I'm on the fence between the 2.5" and the 3.5" running 37s on a 2024 Rubi with 4.56 gears.

[@delpy08]

I want to try those tires. I’m running OEM BFG KM2s. I like the KM2s so far but I haven’t had a good snowfall yet.

Do the stock ER wheels have a functional bead ring? And if so would they be able to handle 37s? Looks great, and you have sold me on the lift kit very nice equipment. Thanks for all the information!!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

They do have a functional capability, you just have to buy the new rings!

I do miss the color match rings :)

Do you have to balance these out once you mount a tire onto a rim ?

Yes going to get balanced this week!

Looks strong! Enjoy.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks James!

[@KolbyKrohn]

I have this same wheel and tire combo being installed by a shop right now. They are stating they are having issues getting the tire to seat, and that a spacer is required. Did you you have this issue also?

Great looking combo. Really like the Baja's. I noticed the center tread pattern was not symmetrical. Is there one side, or the other that you mount to the outside?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Inside and outside, they are asymmetrical

If you do an axle swap, I want to buy the 44s.

[@rastanigiowusuagyeman4908]

I just got my 2023 Willy Xtreme Recon. Thanks to your video back in June, I was able to order quickly. Can adding a wheel spacer (1.25) reduce the mile per gallon ? Just curious.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

It would probably stay the same)

[@efibendor1]

Negative offset means sticking out more. Are you sure you wanted to tuck the tires in?

[@DIRTROADCRED]

I chose -15 versus -35 to not have them as wide as possible

[@petea1316]

Hi Matt I really enjoy your KZbin channel. It was and still is a great help for me as a first time jeep owner. I’m looking for some advice. I have a 2018 jl sport s running the stock tires 245/75/R17 on the stock 17x7.5 rims. I just purchased a set of wheels that are 17x8.5 and when I ordered them they told me the tires I have would fit. The tires are brand new so I want to avoid new tires at this time. I was just told that it’s really up to the manufacturer of the tire. I checked with Goodyear and website says 17x8. I’m not sure what to do as I have conflicting information. Do you think my tires will be ok on the new rims without making them unsafe? Sorry but I am new to all of this stuff. Thanks for your help. Pete

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Pete you should be fine with the 8.5 wheels it will not bulge them out too much more

[@invictuscenturion8468]

[@TJShoop]

I’m new to the off-road world and am genuinely curious. Why didn’t you just take them to a shop to get mounted? And don’t these tires need to be balanced too?

These take patience and proper technique unless you have a very good off road shop that you’re willing to pay 5-6 hours of labor, I like to do them myself
