Default What size tires do you run on your JKU?

With the popularity of big tires on the forums, I started wondering what everyone was actually running on their rigs (specifically those with JKUs). I currently run 33x12.50r15 Duratracs myself and have been very pleased with them.

I have 35 x 12.50 - 17 General Grabber Red Letters and l like them alot. My only complaint - the red lettering looks great until you run them through the rocks and it gets scuffed up.

I currently have 32" tires on my 2014 JKU but will be replacing those with 33" (275/70R18) Duratracs very soon. Unfortunately, I'm one of the very few who doesn't see the appeal of larger tires, even on the unlimited models. I'm being told by everyone for a long while now that eventually I'll get the itch to start upsizing my tires but it hasn't happened yet, and honestly, I doubt I'll ever like that 37" ++ look very much. Just my two cents.

35x12.50x17 KM2's on my JK. Love the look and the performance of the tire. Will buy them again when these wear out.

Well I was stock until stupid me decided to put my 35x12.50R20s on without my lift. This is my first upgrade in tire size on any vehicle. I like the wider stance for the mall crawlin hunting rig.
