I like 33's. They are great for most peoples off road needs and you save a few bucks.

Over a year on 33" KM2s and no regrets. To my eye, they look fine on a 2dr with 2.5" lift, work great off-road, make daily life as easy as when stock and no worries about needing a different spare tire mount. For my situation, they are perfect.

x2 when they go I may go to 285s. I am loving the extra pep and gas mileage I'm getting now vs my old 4door 2007 with 35s mtz MT

I've got 33" Duratracs. I'm very happy and haven't found anywhere they wont take me. Maybe someday I'll go to 35" but I'm not in any hurry.

After recently seeing some guys with 37's 38's and 40's I'm regretting getting 35's! I want 37's bad! My advise is to go as big as you think you might want to... because if in three months you are wishing for more you're going to be kicking yourself like crazy for shelling out the cash you did and not having bought what you want.

Beach, I'm looking at that same size you have on now. Have any pics? What don't you like about them?

I have 33's now. I will be going up to 35 or 37's next. I can wait till the tread is gone first.
Why spend more money untill you have to.

No regrets on going with 33's on my 2011 JKU. Now if I had a 2012 and more horsepower and the five speed AT, my answer would be different.
