Well I need tires really bad on my DD jeep,its got up country package so I can get 30's I think but I wouldn't want to suffer the gas mileage. So decided on 235's. I want to see the size difference of the two tires

i dont have any pics but i have info.... i get 21 mpg in my DD xj with 235/75-15. they are the BFG AT KO...they hold their own off road as well (pretty well for a stock jeep) i myself have been thinking 30x9.5 as i will soon need new tires. i think that the 235/75-15 is about 29.5 in diameter, shouldnt make a big diff in mileage.

plus a 235 is 10mm wider.

I have 235's on my stock upcountry. Was going to go 30 or 31 eventually.

This is stock with sagging rear leafs and bfg at's in 235/75/15. I ran that size for years with the XJ stock.

Don' have a current photos but have run several XJ's from 84 up on 235/75-15 either Michelin LTX MS or Cooper Discoverer AT's and they do fine, actually the 235's on my 2.5 engined XJ seems to get better mileage then with 225's as I had the Coopers in that size before.A good tire but a little cheaper in price, 235/75-15 is the Timberline A/T, had those before also on 92 XJ with 4.0.
