Make sure they are range C or lighter. If you get tires a little too wide for the rim they will roll some. Either way big wide tires will wear funny.
What’s the Baja used for? If you’ve got the money some BFG’s made for sxs should have the proper sidewall flex to really hook well on a Baja. _________________ Rides:

These Goodyear Wranglers have a rounded tread profile, well suited for swing-axle cars & they work VERY well in sand, too these are on my "OldManx".... _________________ see ya' on the trail........

Nice thing about a jacked up Swing Axle is once the tires are all worn out on the the outside you can flip them around on the rim and it like a new set of tires! _________________ 74 CLASS 11 LOOK-A-LIKE
