sell or trade 35" tires for 33" tires.

hey whats up guys.. I went 4 wheeling yesterday in my new to me jeep TJ yesterday. I had to remove my bushwacker fender flares to keep from messing them up and now I want to down size my tires. My speedometer is off by about 10mph and gas mileage is really bad. If i were going to keep the tires I would have to either trim or change my fender flayers and re-gear the truck. It just seems so much easier just to sell the 35" BFgoodrich mud terrain km tires and get something a little smaller. If you live close and are interested in trading tires out let me know. I'm only interested in 15x33x12.5 mud terrain or all terrain tires. As far as a cash price for the tires I really don't even know what to ask for them. They are about half tread life and in pretty good shape. I am going to take my truck to the car wash and see if I can get some of the mud off for some pictures.

Thats common when buying a lifted jeep thats been cobbled together. The first flag would be the worthless bushwackers, Take them and find a trash can. Thats where they look the best. Or sell them and save for jeep mod's worth buying. Theres always a sucker who will buy them.
You mpg wont change, You bought a Jeep with most likely 3.07 gears, 33's is going to make your jeep 6mph off but still same mpg. 4.88 gears would fix that for 35's and 33's would have more power. But a correct speedo gear dont hurt either. You will get a more accurate reading and you can actually figure out your mpg.
Either way you need gears, 33's or 35's. Some still think its good enough, But thats from people who have never re-geared a jeep and see the difference. I run 35's on 4" or so lift easy, I have read countless builds of 2.5" getting it done just the same.
Either way your looking at up grades, IMO i would keep the 35's and buy whats needed to run them correctly. By the time you switch and realize your in the same boat, You would be on your way to fixing the half *** work done to your TJ. Good luck

I'm thinking that a good cash price for the 35's would be $500 for all five tires?

Thats not a bad price, Are they the new style km2 or old km1 style? Get some picks and post up in the for sale section, That would be the best bet. Or find a person looking to trade up to 35's.
