I recommend unbroken english.

Second, for tire size, with at most 2 inches of lift? 35s.

2" lift, flat fenders, and some "massaging" of parts might fit 37s.
Otherwise, 35s.

If its a daily driver I'd go 33's I had 35's with 3.73 6spd and it sucked ass, power loss, fuel cost up, shitty steering ect ect... I do light to moderate wheeling and rubi take offs work good for me. Ill prolly take shit for the fuel mileage thing but what ever.

Hi

Yes. Dammam is in SA..... Just flown past it and landed in Dubai. Now in the car, being driven home!!!!

I use BF Goodrich 33x12,5x15. It is great on the Dubai dunes.
Most of the Jk's out here run on them, with a 2 1/2" lift.

If you go any bigger on the tire, it gets bogged down in the thick sand and any higher on tire or lift, puts you at more of a roll over risk.

A high ground clearance is just not needed for sand only..... It is a rather unique environment...... No rocks, no mud, no snow, no water, no trees, no bushes.... Just sand.

Come join us in Dubai.....

Regards
Paul

if you plan on wheeling, stick with the smallest rim and biggest tire you can get. a 17 inch rim with 32s will out perform a 20 inch with 32-34s all day in the mud and sand despite what most say, its better to have more of a sidewall
