Tire size increase

JT29 · 03-25-2004, 12:30 AM

I have a 95 yj with the 4cly engine, I'am runing 32's. Right now on the highway I can drive 70, 75 and turn 2800 to 3000 rpm. I would like to put 33's on but not sure how much power I would lose. Since I'am only going up one tire size whould it even make that much of difference. Also I'am a runing a steel wheel, if I went to a alloy wheel whould the weight difference of the steel wheel to alloy wheel make up for the increase in tire size. Any answers or comments please.(I have stock 4.10 gears)
