i do fine with my 35's. With the price of gas these days...anything larger than say 37's seems impractical. Don't get me wrong, i love the attention i get on the road and all the "nice jeep" comments, but i'd like the extra $ in my pocket at the end of the month.

It depends on your engine and gears. It looks like you have a 4 banger. 35s on stock gears will not be good. 5th gear will be useless and you will have trouble getting the jeep to go forward in 1st if you are parked on a hill. Point is this: if you want 35s you better regear.

The biggest I ran were 36" SX's (on the street,DD). They are right though, you can run what ever you can afford. Good luck, Doug
