39.5 IROK vs 42 IROK (Bias 17")

[Projp]

Any one run both sizes? I am running 37 MTR's now and want to go up some. I was going with the 39.5's, but a local shop recommended the 42's. They said that they had both tires side by side and were impressed by the deeper tread. I have looked up the specs and they are 2" larger and 3/32 deeper. It is noticeable?

I've wheeled three times with my 42" Iroks and I am very impressed. They opened up a whole new world of wheeling. Mine are on 16.5" rims and I run 3 PSI for what it's worth. I wheeled with a guy on 40" Iroks with almost an identical set up and the two inches were a much larger difference than I would have thought. Go Bigger!!!!!!!!!

I run Maxxis Creepy Crawler 35's on my other trail rig and those are imprsseive also, but I need to go bigger. 38's are on the Christmas list as soon as I find the right deal.

All I know is that when you upgrade, and your lookin' to make someone a good deal on your MTRs. Yea, got ya covered!

Why not get the 49's if you want to go big.
