33 or 35
i have an 07 two door x with a dana 44 rear 4.10 and i have a 3 inch bb i have 33s now but they ar runing low on tread so im tinking of going with a 35 toyo mt but am woried my stock tire carrier wont hold up so i may just stik with 33s till after i get bumpers i am woried about the trans its the auto so im questionable the 33 dont realy give me a problem
I've got 33s on my JK and think they are the perfect match for the X with 4.10 gears (at least with the six speed) and with a 2.5" BB. Sufficient power in all gears. Reasonable gas mileage. Not too hard on the axles. Spare fits on the stock rack, and I can still (barely) see through the rear window. Good ground clearance for off-road. It just seems like the JK was made for 33s and a 2.5 BB, but the Jeep hierarchy decided to go with 32s max.
I've run a few times off trail in some pretty rough areas, and the 33s did well (okay, I may have had a bit better luck on one particular shoal in a river we were crossing when my son (following my directions) got hung up on the undercarriage had I had 35s and maybe a 4" lift).
Anyway, I think 33s are a very nice compromise from spending a lot more money on the JK. And it leaves money to spend on other things. Like maybe a new rear bumper.

I've got the six speed, but I've heard that the 4.10's are just not enough for
35's on an auto. Wierd shift points and... You may be dissapionted w/ the power loss, maybe not .
Like I said I've got the six speed. IMO the 4.88's or 5.13's would be a better
match for 35's w/ an auto.
GET THE GEARS AND THE BIGGER TIRES !

no seriously whatever you go with, you're going to want bigger... go 35s cuz the dana 44 with 4:10s is totally managable power wise with 35s... not a race car or anything, but 100% livable.
I just put on 33's with a skykacker 2" lift and wheel spacers. I have a 6 speed with 3.73 gears, this is the perfect set up for me of course until they wear out and I go with a 4" lift and 35...
