Tires Help Needed!
Alright so im in need of a new set of summers, looking around, i dont want to buy something my jeep cant handle. Any advise is welcome.
Firstly: I use my jeep as my DD, i live in montreal, its rather flat, light trailing, i also need to tow my friends track car ~2000lbs this summer as a one time trip.
Im obviously looking at E rated tires, would like to get m/t's but i dont know which size i can efficiently support/work with.
Here are my mods: 2007 jku Auto, 4.56 gears, detroit locker in the rear, bushwhacker flat fenders, corsa performance twin exhaust, super chips flashpaq, suspension swapped from rubicon (springs shocks etc). aftermarket rotors and pads.
My question is based on what i hace right now, what tire sizes would i be able to run/ what tire sizes should i run?
Thank you in advance!

I fit 35s no problem with my spring swap 15/54 to 18/59 and a 4" backspacing wheel. I have been out mudding and climbing and a few moderade climbs over lava flows with no rubbing issues. I did cut my pinch seam. Side note i put new performance shocks on this week and am going to go really flex and see when i rub or have issues saturday

For DD, your 4.56 should be fine on 35s. A lot if people on here are running 35s on their Rubi's with 4.10. Not sure though about the towing you'll need to do this summer though.

Those gears should be fine for 35s. My jeep is stock 3.21s and they are ok but I noticed a significant power loss. Mine Is a six speed and I plan to replace the gears with 4.56 ASAP. I think those gears would be fine with 35s tho
