I went from 33s to 35s. After a year on 35s and multiple off road trips they are awesome. 35s also made me get 5.13s.....absolutely the BEST mod I have ever made to the jeep

My only regret....like everyone else is not having a D44 front axle so I can run 37s !!!!!!!

I drive 62 miles one way to work each day. I have an 05 TJ with RE long arm and 35's and yes I along with others regret it.
I def wish I would have went with 37's.

Wondering if anyone regretted going with 35s? This is going to be my daily driver 60 miles per day. Hope I won't regret it or hate the ride to work every day
FYI the Duratrac is a 34.4" tire and once mounted it's 34".

I'm happy I went 35's but now I'll be going 37's and hoping it stops there.

A lot of people do not believe me but with my flashpaq I get 20MPG on the interstate. I have almost no hills tho. I get around 17MPG in town.

I've been on 35's for 2 plus years. Progressively doing more and harder trail runs now I wish that I had 37's. Funny because I had to be talked into getting the 35's instead of 33's at first. However with the 35's my mileage is crap, but I just don't care. I'm having too much fun!

If you don't mind shitty gas mileage for that long of a commute then go for it....the bigger the better. I drive about 50 miles everyday and even on 33s with gas at almost $4.00 a gal, my gas bill is freekin' nuts......

I agree with everyone here. I regreted getting my 33's so I got 35's. regretted the 35's so I got 37's. Regretted 37's so I got 38.5's, regretted the 38.5's and am now in 39.5's. Wow, that's alot of rubber! but I can say I'm happy now and that I built up on the way

I have the 35" duratracks and love them. Bought them from discount tire and they beat the lowest price I could find!
