(72-68) * 4 * 8= 128. Then another 4 lbs. for the stationary spare, lol
Knowing that the 3.8 is a dog to begin with, and that you add weight with almost every other mod you do, it is just something to think about.
The Nittos do look sick though

Have had my Nitto Trail Grapplers 35 x 12.5 x 17 for a few months now. Nice and quiet on the road. Run them at 32 psi. Only one offroad trip so far and they performed great!
Hard to say how they affected my mileage. I got a 3" lift at the same time and mileage dropped off about 3 mpg around town. With JK sitting higher and bigger/heavier tires, I guess it's to be expected.
Great looking tire IMO...

I'm running 35 12.50 18's and I'm gettin around 16 mpg. Ive ran this before and I have to say I love these months better. I have about 10k on them with 2 rotations and they have slot of tread left. Like any mud tire you have to do maintenance to them. Keepers air pressure checked and rotated often and they should last a while.

I'm running the trail grapplers in a 33 as well. These tires are by far the best on and off road in my opinion. I've built over 30 JK's and use these tires the most.
