Yeah, I did parts of Fins n' Things with stock SRAs lol...



Went with a Teraflex leveling kit and BFG 33 inch tires and love them!



My reasoning is, if you're going to buy new tires, you might as well go bigger. Same logic as buying a TV,

Want a bigger looking tire? You almost need to walk up and read the tire size to tell the difference between 32 and 33.

Want a better performing tire? Tread design will make more difference than size between 32 and 33.

Want a tire that isn't available in 32 (Like Duratrac or TA/KOs)? Get some 33s and a Procal.

There not bad at all yet, might be after they get some miles on them.

Pretty much same gas mileage as my stocks. I didn't think they'd do too well off roading, but they definitely hold their own. Great if you only go a few times a year. And even in the snow ( despite this picture of my jeep snowballs) they grip well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this tire again. Unless of course I had the good sense to go bigger :p. recommend the 33" Firestones. GREAT quality for the price!
Those look great. It's always hard to tell from a tire rack picture. But I think that is definitely a tire that I could go with especially since you like them. I had duelers on my old jeep that are a t/a and I like the look of them.
