LOL!! just about everyone i know who's done it

seriously, if you're thinking 33's, i would start thinking about 35's. 35's are a great size for a JK and with a 2.5" BB, you can run most trails without too much fuss.

No regrets so far. Mostly a DD, have done a few trails lately though with no issues.

Regret :(

Bought Mickey Thompson ATZ's 33" only to buy the MTZ's 35" 7 months later. On the upside I only lost $200 when I sold them...... So I look at it this way I rented tires for 6 months for $200 to see what I really wanted..... It takes the pain away lol.
I have since bought 35" Duratracs also. For winter.... now I have 2 looks.

I will be going to 33s. I have already thought long and hard about 35s. I won't be doing 35s because 1) I drive it everyday. 2) don't have money to be breaking/bending things. 3) 33s should get me everywhere a 35 can.

While this may be true, some events/trails have a minimum tire size of 35". I know the Jeep Jamboree limits which trails you can do by how your Jeep is setup. They also do not allow tires larger than 37".
