Haha thanks!
Personally I'd love to have 37's and a nice lift but the funds are non existent for that kind of modification and it wouldn't be a good DD but the 265's give it that aggressive yet practical look and feel.

My new 2011 Sport - Stock as well - but soon to change!
I like your jeep! For stock, looks very good!
This is mine. I just got it about a month ago.
The SR-A tires that came with mine are fine for the summer, but I haven't read a lot of good reviews on them when encountering ice and snow. As we usually get between 4 and 5 months of snow a year, I'm hoping to change them to something more appropriate for my driving environment in the next few weeks.

I know what you mean!
Yeah, if I had the money, 37s would be nice, but with a daily driver, you have to think of things like warranty and gas mileage! I love the look of the larger tires but for what I'll be using my Jeep for, it really isn't the most practical option. Especially when you start factoring in all the other things you will have to do to make it safe and reliable.
JP magazine just had a feature a few months ago all about taking off a lift kit and large tires to put the Jeep back to close to stock because the lift kit was wearing out and they wanted to get the much better ride that they had when it was stock!
Sure, a little lift is nice, but especially with a two-door, anything over 2.5 inches and you're probably going to run into issues and more expenses that I just couldn't cover right now!
Aggressive yet practical is exactly what I'm going for!

I had planned to go to 33" tires, but when I started looking at the price difference for the small actual gain in size, I just can't justify it.
