I love my 36s...if I go up, I'll skip the 37s to 40s.
But then most of my decisions don't make sense.

So you guys with 37s are getting 16-19 highway? I'm trying to decide 35s or 37s too and gas mileage IS an issue for a DD, but I'm not expecting 25mpg either. If I'll get 10 mpg highway then I won't even consider it. If I'll get decent economy like 16-19 hwy and 14 or so city I can live with that.

I've got 37s and 5.13s. Not enough power. I would go 5.38s. There are alot of hills and mountains in B'ham area. I can't use overdrive. If it were flatter, I could live with 5.13s.

I must get the worst gas mileage....I have 285/70/17 Hankook MT's (dislike) and I am excited to get 14 mpg on highway! I usually get 12.8. I drive 40 miles of interstate everyday. I have a Wild Boar Roof Rack, and tires are my only additions...So I guess heavy rubber and the rack is acting like a sail.

I am getting 4.5" BDS lift with 37" Super Swamper SSR Radials when I get back from Europe this summer. Then bumpers and winch. Then gears. I can't wait to get busy on my jeep!
