Looking into one and wonder what the acceleration is with the xr package. It says it has a limiter of 110 mph. Can anyone verify?

Limiter is at 97 mph. Not sure I would want to exceed 85 with those tires, lift, suspension and steering plus 2 in. higher center of gravity.Looking into one and wonder what the acceleration is with the xr package. It says it has a limiter of 110 mph. Can anyone verify?
Why is this a concern?Looking into one and wonder what the acceleration is with the xr package. It says it has a limiter of 110 mph. Can anyone verify?
Do you wanna go 110mph? I'm sure the 4.56 gears will put it close to whatever the current 0-60 is on the 3.6 without XR package.Looking into one and wonder what the acceleration is with the xr package. It says it has a limiter of 110 mph. Can anyone verify?
Thank you for this quote. I love it.. . . at which it's easy to imagine what it's like to be an astronaut plunging through the atmosphere in a reentry capsule.
“Adequate” is appropriate since Jeep dealerships now think they can get near R/R prices !Friend if you wanna go 110youre looking at the wrong type of vehicle. The tires on some models are speed rated only to 97. In addition, a short wheelbase, tall vehicle on solid axles does NOT drive like a conventional car ( or pickup). The Jeep has all the aerodynamics of a cement block or barn door. Stability at speed is less than optimal. Jeeps are for SLOWLY traveling to places you can’t get to in other vehicles. You want to go fast, buy a Challenger, Camaro, or Mustang. Acceleration is, as the Rolls Royce folks used to say, “adequate”.
Wait....what? Do the High Tides have some crazy offset? There aren't any axles wider than the 220.Car and Drivers says 7.7
"To prevent the High Tide from requiring outriggers, the lifted suspension is stiff—much stiffer, seemingly, than even a Rubicon model on 33-inch tires. With a track four inches wider than that of a standard Wrangler Sport and 2.5 inches broader than a Rubicon, the High Tide feels stable, if not particularly happy, in corners. Its 0.69 g of lateral grip is probably about as hard as you'd want to corner in this buggy. Likewise, its 7.7-second run to 60 mph feels plenty quick enough, especially given the lackluster stopping distance from 70 mph: 211 feet, the same distance we recorded from the almost-10,000-pound GMC Hummer EV. (Given that the Wrangler laid down faint gray skid marks along the length of its braking test, its ABS keeping things just on the threshold of lockup, it's clear that its lengthy stop is more the fault of the knobby tires than the brakes themselves.) We failed to record a 100-mph stop because Jeep quite sensibly prevents the High Tide from going that fast. Top speed is limited to 97 mph, at which it's easy to imagine what it's like to be an astronaut plunging through the atmosphere in a reentry capsule."
315/70 vs. 285/70 combined with a +12 offset wheel instead of the std +44 is approximately 3.72” wider. Track width is based on a measurement between the centerlines of each tire which can be measured a couple different ways requiring math skills I no longer possess after my first vodka soda!Wait....what?

Three more and you’re math skills will be perfect!315/70 vs. 285/70 combined with a +12 offset wheel instead of the std +44 is approximately 3.72” wider.

Hell, 3 more and I won’t care! . After 5 or 6, I start buying Jeep parts and accessories I don’t “need!” My internet connection needs one of those breathalyzer access control thangs!Three more and you’re math skills will be perfect!
