I have no issues at all. I have 285/70/17 with 3:21 gearing in my two door. Gas mileage did not drop much, no issues gearing, and I have been able to apply the skinny pedal enough to make noise on pavement . I have not had issues on rubbing either. They are a great tire! I will buy them again when needed.

At full turn, I have 0 rub. These tires are quite and handle very well on road and in the mud. Seeing that I live on the east coast of NC, my rig will see a lot of sand.

Upgrading to a longer travel shock and poison Spyder bumpers. I think it will look great with these 33"

LOVE THESE TIRES. Better than Nitto imho
I have the same tires, and am a big fan. I went from stock Rubicon tires to these and I'm never looking back.

(I have a 3" lift.)

Great tires.

I'm a newbie here and new to the build thing. I have a 2011 Wrangler Sport. Just upgraded to Goodyear Duratrac 275 70 18 tires. Jeep is stock other than the tire size increase and I have noticed rubbing when turning sharp. Considering 1.5" wheel spacers or a 2" lift or both. Also noticed a slight HP decrease and slight gas mileage decrease but I'm thinking that's normal due to the larger tires. Any advice would be awesome.

You could just adjust your steer stops by adding washers so tires don't rub control arms. The down side is a wider turn. With 1.5" spacers you don't have to add the steer stop washers but you really must remove all OEM lock washers on the studs. You don't have to add lift. That said, a 2" lift with stock wheels with spacers makes a happy rig.

A nice rim with a better back stop than stock will cut that right on out. As far as power, the V6 3.6 has no troubles pushing mine at all. Hit 5th gear no problem. Had it up to ummmmmm since I'm a popo, I ummmmm had it to 57 mph and it did just fine. Passing gear still works well with these tires too. I will likely use a procal at some point. But, as a few have driven mine says it's still really peppy.
