Thanks
Great advice guys, just what I was looking for!!!!!
Now, when looking for a package deal, they suggest a tire size with the wheel you pick. Is it a liability to them if you want bigger than they suggest???
Someone mentioned a C class for mostly onroad use. Will they be ok if I want to sling a little mud? Man, I might have to buy another Jeep one off, and one on road.
Again, Thanks guys!

A C class will be fine for offroading. What you will have to be carefull about, so I understand, is how much you air down. A C-class tire has a thinner sidewall that isn't as reinforced, so when aired down to the same level as a D-class tire it will fold in on itself much easier.
The good thing about C-class tires is that they are lighter and will get better mileage, as well as a smoother ride due to the softer sidewall.

And it should be pointed out that you can get one hell of a good deal on them right now because they're being phased out. I just nabbed a set of 5 for just over $700 shipped to my door. I wanted to get 33's but this was just too good of a deal. They may not be quite as good as the BFG KM2's, but they're still a great tire and won't look out of place with a 2.5"BB.
