so I am hearing that a 285/70r/17 on a 17x9 5-5/5.5 wheel will work on a stock '2015 wrangler.  Thoughts?

@Special T ......IIRC your THE tire guy right?

"Time to go tire/wheel shopping"   I could maybe help you with that.

AEV Never heard of it, till NOW!!! Thanks Jackelope? You were right, I should not have googled it!!

I must be missing something cuz I googled AEV and all that came up was keep stuff. :dunno:

The one finger wave? LOL
Yeah, That’s a pain in the rear. I grew up with a 71 FJ40, wanted one again, but modern comforts won out.

There's a Wrangler code of ethics. You have to wave to each other. It's sort of a law. A code of conduct.

It's funny, way back when I had my first CJ5 nobody did that, all jeeps wave stuff.  Then years later when I bought my first Wrangler everyone was doing the wave but I've always been a hold out and kinda thought it was stupid so I was an anti-waver.  In my younger years I had sport bikes and then Harley's as I got older, I was an anti-waver then too.  To each his own, but the whole wave thing just seemed silly to me.

After I bot a Wrangler I was surprised at all the people waving at me. I kept thinking they were people that knew me. Took me a few days to figure it out....

When you first get a Jeep, all those people waving makes you think all those people actually like you or something......

Same here....although nobody waves at me in my Jeep. I think Grand Cherokees are pardoned from the wave rule.

Sympathy waves because they know how many trips you are going to make to the dealership, the auto parts store, ebay, etc.  One of my favorite things about jeeps is that they will display the error codes, don't even have to go to the store to borrow a scanner.

That's the PIR part, too darn many on the road. Always thought it was kind cool that specific vehicle groups did a wave (FJ40, Enduros, etc.  even bus drivers do it) but kind of an annoyance when every 5th vehicle on the road is a Jeep. IMO

With that being said, I try to do it....just so folks don't think I'm an arse........they just don't know me well enough to know that I am.

PS, surprised none of you read between the lines on my answer to Pegasus....one finger wave/PIR  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Mine never saw a dealership, but you are spot on about the parts stores, LOL
