OK i've written off the idea of running these as a daily driver .
What about as a spare (donut style) if you were runing 35's on the other 4? One of the reasons I went with 33's was the size of the spare on the stock holder.

You cant run different size tires on a JK. The computer goes nuts because it senses the different wheel speeds.

The military tires are 35" and I would run 35's on the other 4. The difference would be width and rim diameter, overall diameter would be no further off than the difference in tire wear depending on where you are at in your rotation cycle.

Ahh, I misunderstood and thought you wanted a 33" version as a donut spare.
I still would never run those tires. I have run similar ones, and HWY driving is straight up dangerouse. Also, it should be noted most 35" radial tires are actually 34.5" tall, while this one is 35.2" tall. That may or may not be enough of a gap to cause issues.

You can get the military NDTs in a 33". Look at the 750 16. I mean....if you just GOTTA have um. I thought about some.....for about 10 seconds.

If it's the one for the military Hummer you need to be careful. The rim actually needs to be 16.5 inches or some crazy 1/2 inch off number. The tires are cheap and good if you have the right size rim which doesn't exist in a 5x5.

Nope. These are totally different. What we're talking about are PRE NATO tires.
