I went from stock 18" Saharas on 32" Dueler's to 17" MOABS's on 32" BFG M/T's, then onto 33" BFG A/T's. much happier with he 33's they are smoother, quieter and 12.5" wide.. Ill only know this weekend how they fair in an off road situation.

PLUS going to a 4" BS from 6.25 Really made a nice difference, and I gained 6/10 of a MPG (manual calculated not using the trip computer). not sure if its from the A/T's from M/T's or the increased height, but I like it.

For some of those that only see the dirt trails and some rocks very occasionally it would benifit them more to same near same as stock. I am now debating on going with 33x12.5's then to go with 35's. If I do that it will allow me to spend money no another project that will need the lift and larger tires. I am very impressed with my DD on how it handels even with the stock tires in Uwharie when it was dry, I wasn't though when it had rained the whole day I was there, damn slippery stuff. I figure an inch larger a few wider and I would be really happy with it..

Oh and for the general Knowledge the Packers are##1

I went from the 32's to 33. I went with a 33x15x12.5 Cooper STT. It gave me a more aggressive look, wider stance on my 4 door Rubi. I haven't put a lift on yet (the TF 2.5" coil lift will be ordered next month). I stayed away from the 35 until I can regear.

I wanted a mud tire so I was buying anyway and 35 didn't make sense yet.

Haven't made the jump yet, and have been debating going cheap and jumping on the stock 32" BFG M/Ts for about $100 each, or actually going a little bigger to 33's. Right now I'm leaning toward the 33's. The jump to 35's isn't in the budget now, nor is it even worthwhile as long as I'm stuck in Ohio, and using the JK frequently as a DD.
