What would it take to put pizza cutters on my ‘18?
Relevant details: stock 17” wheels,
currently using 265/65R17.
I don’t “off-road,” but I drive a lot in dirt and gravel roads, across fields, loose sand & dirt, and through (sometimes heavy) mesquite and prickly pear cactus (if I can’t avoid it).
My Wrangler ATs are about out of tread. They’ve done an admirable job of surviving the mesquite thorns. If I don’t go the pizza cutters route I’ll probably just do more of the same, despite them only lasting just beyond the 50k warranty.
I want lighter tires to possibly improve my mpg, but I’m also considering 10-ply to further mitigate the mesquite thorns.
Before the inevitable “look it up yourself” comments: I know there’s resources out there for that, but I’ve got so many other things going on right now that I just don’t have the head-space or the patience for another research project. I know there’s people on here who freakin love tires. I’m more than happy to trade my expertise in lithological, stratigraphical, and sedimentological matters for help with automotive accessories. Please @ me with your geological questions, and if I don’t know the answer I promise to make something up that will impress your friends and make geologists chuckle.
