Recon EV Problem: Bigger Tires Don't Work

On this episode of the Jeep Talk Show, Tony and Josh break down the new Jeep Scrambler from SEMA, the real off-road limits of the electric Recon, and why bigger tires are a bad idea on any EV platform. They also cover Stellantis selling the Brampton plant to a Canadian defense firm amid tariffs, classic MCU picks like Iron Man and Captain America, and plenty of unfiltered Jeep community talk. Sixteen years and 1,500+ episodes of real mods, trail stories, and no-filter banter continue right here.
