Neither, go with 34s. these are 305/70-17 Goodyear MTRs with Kevlar. they measure 34.1 without weight of jeep on them. Great in between size, they also fit nicely on stock tire carrier with 4.5 inch backspacing. I would go with either a 34 or 35. you prob wont be happy with 33 if you off road at all.

I run 33s on 3.21 with a manual and it's just fine. If I had a manual 3.73, I would go 35s. However, you have an auto... so stick with some beefy 33s.
I think 33s are the best tire for a 2 to 2.5 " lift 2 door JK. If you have an unlimited, get 35s.

Averaging 16-19mpg it goes along pretty decent, full stuff without extended bumpstops

I would go 35s but need the $$$ for regear! And its too much hassle really.
Might move up from a 32.8" duratrac to a 33.5" M16

Unless it's all about the looks or you're going to go with a bigger lift (plus regearing) and do some serious rock crawling I'd say save the money and go with 33". I never understood the obsession with 35" tires. I had 33x12.50 tires on my XJ and never came across a trail that I couldn't get through...
Well, certainly nothing that a 35" tire would have made the difference on!

Recently picked up an 08 sahara 2 dr - auto w/3.73's. So far installed R/C 2.5 BB, next comes tires. I have factory 18's and can possibly pick up a set of factory 17"s cheap, so I will most likely need spacers. Daily driver and very little off roading. I don't have the $$ for regearing. I was thinking the G/Y Duratracs..........do I go with the 33's or 35"s ? Already searched and it seems mixed, so let your experience and opinions fly!
I think the 2 dr. looks good with 33's and for what youre saying your situation is I think its really the best choice
