New tires mounted
« on: May 06, 2013, 02:33:33 PM »
My sunday morning project.
I got them all mounted and installed on the Jeep.� It was easier than anticipated to mount them.
Its night and day going from the BFG tires to the NDCC's, it feels like I have power steering now.� :lol:

And NDT tire with round shoulder are much easier as well to turn.

Your new tires look great. Even non car buffs comment about NDT and NDCC tires when they see them.

Power steering for sure! What a difference the NDCC's make over standard radials...

And you did it yourself....good work...

Didn't you recently add that fourth (OD) lever? How do you like it?

Looks like Spring in your neck of the woods.....

I recently replaced (temporarily) a set of 31x10.50 BFG KM2s with 6.50x16 STA super traxions . .  you are right,  feels like power steering has been added.

Very nice looking Jeep you have there!!
