Yes easily and about 20k, Buy retreads from treadwright actually have some great tires at a fraction of the price.

No matter what you buy you will want to go bigger sooner so keep it cheap till you find the size you like for your Jeep.

I had 30x9.5's Firestone Destination M/T's on mine sitting at stock height and it rubbed all over. If you trim you could do it. I got 15k out of them before selling them with plenty life left.

mine has a set street meat 31x10.50 on it now(on it when I got it)They rub in turns and really bad off road.

I am gonna replace them this week with a set of 30's from treadright.I've ran their tires before and they performed well.The price can't be beat either.

I thoroughly enjoy my 31" Federal Runway Enduro M/T's. I paid 500 for a brand new set of 4. I'm pretty sure they make a 30" as well.
