Dude go with 315s.. it not that bad... I live in denver And hit the mountains everyday fun and work!! its fine you'll learn to drive with the tire size and later down the road you can do gears i really suggest you find a new forum this one is kinda full of people that hate to answer the same question from 100 different people. only because they use this site has a sad soical media tool, and or laugh at/subjugate the "newbies", unless these people that have posted anwsers to your question have a 2dr and have driven it(daily)... they dont have a pot to piss in.. yeah 3.21 isnt an ideal ratio for 315s but that doesnt mean it sucks. in fact it doesnt, only an anal fool would say it does. if you want really answers use the pros.. call Northridge4x4 I swear by them. PM me and ill set you up with Tim. E this dude helps out! the service techs also help with hard to ask questions, with out peanut gallery comments.

Are you looking for valid opinions or are you just looking for someone to tell you running that big a tire on 3.21 gears is good to justify you buying them? There are already multiple threads done to death on the tire size/gearing issues and common sense would tell you it is going to suck on the highway and if you drive in hills it will suck that much more.

2014 JK 2-Door Auto with 3.21 gears. I run 315/70R17 Duratracs. I love them. I won;t go bigger, not because of gears, but because of the weakness of the Dana 30. I will re-gear one day, but I have no issues running 70-80 MPH with the tach in the mid 2,000s.
If I have a manual, I would hate it.

People say 35s suck with 3.73s w/ the 3.6 but mine feels like a rocket compared to my 3.8 w/ 4.10 & 34s.
At the end of the day, pay attention to the region the negative posts are coming from. Many times, they will be from high altitudes or where it's obvious they are slow crawling on boulders.
Different strokes for different folks.
