Tire Talk!
Jeep Tires
You have a Jeep, it probably came with tires. One of the most common and perhaps the first Jeep modifications made is tires.
There is a literal SEA of tires available for your Jeep, how do you pick the one that is right for you, your Jeep, and your pocketbook?
Looks?
Come on, you know you want it to look good!
Function?
How will they be used?
Longevity?
Soft, hard?
Price?
Size and other required modifications?
Jeep has made use of the “Jeep Wave” as a product they sell. Oil changes, tire rotations, but before that, it was a thing that Jeep people (while driving a Jeep) did to each other, they waved!
With the recent passing of the lady who started the Duck Duck Jeep craze, I thought about the other special things Jeep people do.
I spoke to Allison both in person and during interviews about the people who didn’t care for the placing of a plastic duck on a Jeep. Some of them were borderline violent in their irritation at the idea of this being done.
Has anyone heard of Jeep people not liking the Jeep wave?
What about the Jeep people that get upset because they don’t get a Jeep wave?
I’ve heard of people saying if you don’t wave, get rid of your Jeep!
For full disclosure Jeep people will rate your Jeep and wave only if it passes their test for what Jeep is worthy of a wave.
Yet others wave to anything that remotely resembles a Jeep, and they’ll do it no matter what vehicle they are driving!
Are you a new Jeeper? Have you been getting waves, and didn’t know about the Jeep wave? Well, now you know what it is. I have no idea why it started, but I believe it’s an extension of what motorcyclists have been doing for years.
