37 inch tires
Need to hear from people who are running 37 inch tires as a daily driver. I have a 2007 rubicon unlimited and will be running 5.13 gears with a auto. Suspension will be the offroad evolution front and rear coilovers and also superior axles front and back. Are you guys happy with 37 's

If you're allready planning EVO coilovers and axle shaft replacements and can afford all that, then I would without a doubt go to 37s and never look back. If you get all that and buy 35s you will be wishing you had 37s. I plan on throwing some big rubber under mine soon and can't wait!
One point to note on 37s - the larger the tire, the worse and longer the braking distance to stop your Jeep (given its a daily driver). There are more detailed posts on this elsewhere, but I recently chose 35s for my daily driver, after an agonizing choice of 35s or 37s. The worse stopping difference is immediately evident (on 35s), and I doubt the brand of tires plays a large part in this, its their mass, size and extra weight.
If your spending the $bucks on all you say, then upgrade the brakes also. I agree there is buyer regret with getting 35s, but practical reasons prevail (upgrading or not of axles, gears, driveshafts, brakes, yada yada).

I run 37s and like them but do not like the 5.13s with the auto. Wished the 5.38s were available when I did the regear. 5.13s are fine, they just do not have it on the hills. You will love the way it looks with 37s.
