also depends on what kind of lift you wanna put on it if your gonna put a 2.5" BB i would say 33s its a pretty decent look for the 4 door but anything bigger that that for a lift definetly go with a bigger tire
all comes down to how much you wanna spend and how hard you wanna wheel it 33-37 all can work no problem for DD but 33s just dont get it done on the trails like 37s do

35's obviously look better, but 33's will give you better mileage. So why not split the diff and go with 34's?

Here you go. I'm loving these tires and for the price you can't beat 'em ($230-250 a piece). Get them in a 35, once mounted and under your jeep they measure 34. I put these on last week and so far I've lost ~2mpg, that's procal'd with an intake and aftermarket exhaust (so maybe I'm gaining an extra MPG over stock with those). 14-15 around town and 16-17 on the highway. 2012 6-speed w/ 3.73 gears, i'll take it.

Toyo AT II. Not as aggressive as some of the MTs out there, but for an AT it's the best looking one I've seen (I'm bias though...)

Those Toyo ATs grow on me more and more everyday. That's also a gear price!

Just ordered those last week! Hopefully they'll be here Friday or Saturday.
Only 295/76r16 though :( lol
I'll post some picks when they get mounted
