I'm getting ready to buy bigger tires... Ive been going between 285s or 315s. It's on a 2012 JKU Sport, auto, w/ 3.73
Have you guys seen any issues with that gear and the 35s?
How's the tailgate hold up to that combo?
how's the mpg been? Lol
90% regular driving, 10% off road
Will b running spacers and 2.5 coil lift
Thanks

I would not put a tire of this size on the tailgate. 1. It doesn't fit with the third brake light 2. it's heavy. My wifes 33's barely fit and were heavy. Might want to look at a bumper then tires.
My driving habits are the same 90/10. MPG's didn't really change much. A Rubi has lower gearrs so it's not great anyway. Still getting around 18/19 mpg.

I just put 35's on my 2012 with 3.21s. Honestly.. It's really not that bad. Way better than my 07 with 4.10s. I haven't got my procal yet, and haven't burned a whole tank of gas since I got them installed. My computer is showing 15 mpg. No idea if it is accurate. I'm going the spare, but only temporary. I will be ordering a bumper and tire carrier soon.
