Dean,
Welcome to the list. I just wanted to ask what you thought about the
Wrangler AT/S tires. I looked at them, but went with Pirelli Scorpion A/T.
Mostly something to do with a $200 difference in price. I was a bit
concerned about going with the "cheaper" tires, but the Pirellis have been
great.
Drive safe.
