Question Hey daily drivers, if $$$ were no object would you go 33's or 35's

I'm at the point where I've got my lift (Teraflex) and am beginning to save for tires... My rig is a daily driver right now 30 miles a day mostly interstate. My big question is in your opinions should I save for the regearing 5:13 with my 4dr auto X and 35's or just go 33's. I plan on keeping the stock wheels with spacers till I decide the wheels I want to go with and don't really care about ride/noise I just got rid of an 87 YJ before this so this feels like a luxury car in comparison . Anybody regret one size or the other on their daily drivers.

I've had both ....35's be happy! With 4:10 you will be fine you will want a Superchips programmer though with the auto. Regear later and it will feel like 50 extra hp.

Agree - If money was no object then regear and get 35s.

35s = less power and less gas milage.........But remember its a Jeep. You didnt buy for 35 mpg............This aint no YUGO!

35's for sure. Especialy on a 4door. I went with them on my 2door daily driver and couldnt be happier. I havent regeared yet but honestly it doesnt bother me that bad. Just take the overdrive off. In my opinion 33's just wouldnt look "big", they would just look normal

I almost went with the 33's and at the last minute switched to the 35's. I am so glad I did. I wouldnt have been happy with the way the 33's looked. Honestly I'm already thinking about going 37's when the 35's wear out

X3! I went throught the same deliema, but I am so glad I went with the 35s!

Even if it is a daily driver, it is still a Jeep and unless you are only planning to drive on the road.........you won't regret the 35s.
