Default Ahh, the classic "Which Tire" question...

I have a 2012 JKU with an AEV 2.5 DualSport Lift. Currently, I am running the stock Rubicon 17" wheel and 255/70r17 tire combo. I would like to get a bigger tire set (not ready for 35's) and I have been thinking about the 285/70r17 Duratracs. The trouble is, they don't seem like the will be much larger that than the stock rubi's and they start to look a bit wide to me (thinking roller skate) So, I thought about the 285/75r17's that Nitto makes, but they seem a bit lacking compared to the Duratracs. Help!! Are there other options?

A couple things I want to get out of a tire:

- about 33"
- Don't want to get the "Roller Skate" look with a big honkin' wide set of tires
- Would like to keep them on the quiet side

Thanks!
