I've driven a TJ with the 2.5 and a 5 speed and I don't think I'd put taller tires on it. Not unless regearing is in a future plan. That can work if you have the 4 liter six but the 2.5 has way less torque. A 235/75-15 "C" rated tire is a good choice. They are about 29" tall. We have 30x9.5-15 "C" rated General Grabber Ats on our old ZJ with stock gearing (4.0 liter auto, 3:55:1 gears) and that's as far as I'd go on that vehicle.....without a lift and re-gearing.

don’t forget, a 4cyl TJ might very well have 4.10s. Mine did. I had 33s on a 4cyl TJ…it worked decent. 31s are perfect. Any 4cyl TJ runs out of steam on the highway though, and the taller the gears the worse they get lol

Post some pictures! Would love to see this Jeep

4:10 (or similar) gearing works great, especially around town. With them, a 4cyl TJ has nearly the same get up and go as a 4.0…at least a 4.0 with 3.55s anyway (4.10s were a no-charge feature in the 2.5 4cyl TJs to help compensate for the lack of power). Mine came stock with upgraded 29” AT tires and 15” Ecco alloy wheels…so a 30” tire is barely bigger than that and would work very well. I think 31s are perfect.
