Should I go 33" or NOT? Need advice.

[gron86]

currently I have 275/65R18 tires which are 32.07. At times tho i think the tire looks a bit small....What do you guys think? & would a 33" be much bigger than a 32.07:dontknow2: Would it be worth it?

Thanks Guys :)

We almost went from our OEM 32" tires to 33" cuz my wife wasn't sure about things like mph, gearing, etc. etc...however, one of the other members at a run said he had gone the 33" route and then ended up going to 35" because there was no difference from 32" to 33." Lesson learned so we went straight up to 35" (saved some $ by not going 33" then 35").

However, we ended up doing a lot of other mods like driveshafts, gearing, ctrl arms, etc....long story short, after our Niagara Rim trip the wife is now thinking we should have gone up to the 37" tires...:dontknow2:

My opinion (remember JMO) is go to the 35" tires and if you are using your Jeep primarily on road maybe the 33" does make sense but 35" would get my vote for you. :wink:

Y'know, I think your JK looks great. Very clean. My "33" inch KM2s measure 32 on the truck and at 34 psi, so if I were in your situation, I'd leave well enough alone. Don't be pressured by the Life Begins with 35s crowd.

There isn't enough difference in these two tire sizes to justify the change. Besides your Jeep looks awesome the way it is.:thumbsup:

I think your Jeep looks great! I'd personally wait until you need new meat before you make that call, there's nothing wrong with the ones you have. :thumbsup:

i would say that is a waste of money to get 33s. they will be half an inch bigger maybe all the way around so you will not really beable to tell a difference to much..... I would wait and go 35's

agree with this, unless you need new tires.

I say keep your current tires. I think it looks great, and it sounds like you do a lot of road driving. I have the same size tires, and they are the most practical for myself.:thumbsup:

33s not much difference. Go 35s it wil make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.:brows:

Keep your current tires....a 33x12.50 tire will usually measure out around 32.8 tall. Wear the ones on your JK now and the next set have the tire shop mount a set of 35's next to your 33's and see if you like them compared to 33's.

I stuck with 33x12.5....with my gearing 3:73, I find it dogs on the mountain passes around my area so I couldn't image what 35's would be like:crazyeyes:
I can't afford new gears.
