You can definetely go w/ 10" wide on all 4 corners, but why? The 12" tire, in the rear, will give you more traction and should pull through ruts (in mud holes), slightly better than 10". The reason you don't go bigger on the front is due to handling and steering effort.

you put 26x10x12 front and rear?

Did you use the stock rims or the c-series?

How is the handling at 40+ compared to stock/

Sorry to ask so many questions but i hate to spend $500+ and not be happy

I have had my prairie for 3 days and i have had a wood ever since!!!!!!!!!!! This is 3xs the fun as my 01 rubicon.

Thanks, the Mount

I put 10 in mudlites on both front and rear. I got them because the dealer didnt have 12's . I can see very little difference in handling with them. I tried them in some mudholes and could tell a major difference. They do have a vibration just as you start rolling, but after just a few feet I could not feel any vibration. I have only put 32 miles on the tires though.

I forgot to say that they are on the stock rims- no clearance problems.

Anybody,
Has anyone tried ATR's? I ride Titans 589's and love them but when the dry season comes I want to get the sporty feeling back with different, less aggressive tires.
