It's a Jeep Thang
Jeeps are a hot item this year...well...not just this year! They've always been a hot item....mostly because of the myriad of accessories available for them; and the new JK series is absolutely no exception! The single most visually enhancing accessory is absolutely the wheel & tire package...and this one is killer!
What are you doing to your JK...I'd love hear where you've gone and what wheel is your favorite...??

Goodyear Introduces the New Assurance All-Season
According to Modern Tire Dealer, Goodyear has introduced it's new Assurance All-Season tire right on schedule.In fact, credit goes to MTD for this picture as well.
The Assurance A/S is available in 41 sizes ranging from 14" to 18" and are being released this month to the Goodyear dealer network.
Some sizes will not be available until September 1st, but they are all being made here in the good 'ole USA!!! On that note...my hat is off to Goodyear...China has been screwing with the tire industry for the last few years, so, go get 'em Goodyear!!
For more detail on the line read the MTD article, or click here.
While I have never been a fan of Goodyear (not that I am NOT a fan either) I really can't say enough about this endeavor...first, the tire comes with a 65,000 warranty, so Goodyear is confident...but second...the fact that it is made here in the USA gets a whole lot of points with me.
Drive hard folks...and enjoy the road!!

Coil-Over Suspension versus Lowering Springs
If you're serious about truly improving the performance of your suspension, then coil-overs are the way to go...no questions asked!
First off, lowering springs are great, but most people simply replace the springs without even considering that the factory shocks have a specific travel range. Without matching the shocks (that means replacing them as well) to the new, shorter, lowering springs you are creating a mismatch that is not obvious at first. But it will have an affect on the overall performance and longevity of the shocks. So, without buying the matching shocks, lowering springs by themselves are not recommended, in my opinion.
Top quality and high performance coil-over kits are the right solution...again...if you are serious about the actual performance gain and the improved handling...if it's just looks you're after, go ahead and skip to the end!
Full blown coil-over kits will dramatically improve performance; they are specifically designed to be the right suspension component for your vehicle, are built and designed as a complete unit, matching springs to shock/strut, and can generally be adjusted for height and ride.
And, now...technology meets, and is paired together with top performance....some of the best suspension upgrades now come with apps that let you make the damping adjustment right from your smart phone...crazy right!?
If you've installed a specific suspension kit (lowering springs or coil-overs) please feel free to post your comment here...I'd love to hear some real "on the street low down" about what you're riding on. Just don't do any bashing, give your real thoughts and opinions please.
'Til next time...drive hard and low!!
