tires
Have you lifted this JK?
and have you recalibrated the spedo/comp.
Are you telling us that the computeris giving you a reading that is bad....or are you doing the math yourself....... either way, if the spedo has not been recalibrated you will be way off. with a 35" you are traveling further than the computer thinks you are because its based on hub rotatio....if im not mistaken

A 35" tire has a circumference almost 10% larger than a 32" tire. So when calculating your mileage, you need to add 10% to get an apples to apples comparison.
14 mpg with 35s is the same as 15.4 with 32s.
If you were getting 17 mpg prior to the 35s and 15.4 after, and you drive 12,000 miles per year, you will burn 73 gallons / year more gas. Thats around $180 bucks per year more (at $2.50 / gallon) or about $15 per month.
Whether having 35s is worth $15 / month is a judgement call that you'll have to make.
