The braking performance is mainly due to caliper size bump for the Sahara and rubicon’s. The skid pad is mall tires however I am not sure what last one they tested. They called it a jku, but didn’t mention submodel.
a fucking skidpad test in a god damn jeep wrangler is fucking irrelevant.

:triggered:
Car tires are appropriate for cars that never actually go off road. The Sahara package is now the "I use it as a car and never go off roading" package of the Wrangler. Therefore it doesn't get AT tires which are irrelevant for street use.

You can option them... also the sports come with the shitty tires as well. I think 75% of all jeeps will be sold with minivan tires...

Yet BOTH are technically Dbag elitist Roundel Oberleutnants.

:notsure: Mr. :225:

My A/T were factory on Sahara. But I have a spare set of wheels for adventures. Jeep is hands down the fastest thing to change wheels on. Like 15 mins tops to swap all 4 out.

We're talking JL. The sahara+sports are 70% of the sales now. You'd have to specifically option the ATs on the sahara, which costs as much as a rubicon. I seriously don't get anyone that would buy a sahara within the JL generation. It just makes no sense.

The JK was optioned quite differently.

well when you put 300k-500k km's in that equation with a CEL, worn out clutch and syncros, then yes. But those seats really opened my eyes, they look exactly similar.

But color matching suspension, is about as pointless as putting air suspension for a turbo Golf, just to show off people that you're laying frame, whoopieeee.

Dat yes and the fact that it doesn’t go mudding or do serious offroading. Very pointless, but hey #prioritiesbaby

That’s quite a steal imo, maybe $2k more at best to get it working the way it should be is still a great investment.
