First off.. All I have to say is WOW. I've been a member of this forum for a few days and I'm already hooked!! Lot's of great informative people on here.. Now.. I hate to ask, but I've tried searching and can't seem to find my definitive answer.. I just ordered a Tera-Flex 2.5" BB w/shocks and 1.5" spidertrax spacers for my 08 X. My rig currently has BFG 265/70/17 AT tires on 17" rubicon rims.. I believe they are a 32 tires, but I could be wrong. I must say that these tires are great. They are very quiet and the tread on them is superb. I would like to keep them as they are brand new, but I have a feeling that after installing the lift I am going to want bigger tires. However, this is my daily driver and I don't want anything "too" extreme, hence why I went with only the 2.5" BB lift from Tera-Flex. Sooo, what is the best daily driver 35" tire that will work well with stock 17" rubicons? Maybe I should stick with the same brand tire? Are BFG AT 315/70's a 35" tire?

Also, what else do I need to run a 35" tire safely? Like I said, I have a stock 08 X. Its a 6spd and I was told it has either 3.21 or 3.73 gears. Do I need to upgrade the axles or anything related to safely run 35's??

 

Just my opinion, but a good running MT for daily driving, are the Cooper STT's. When I was running these, it was the best my jk rode. They wore evenly, rotated about every 6000m. Had about 30,000m on them when I sold them, still had another 10,000 in them. The Toyo's I have now are abit more harsh, but they're tough as nails.

 

I really like the BFG Mudterrains by them and my Jeep is my daily driver but if you like the Ats then Might as well just go with the bigger versions of the ATs

 

Have Goodyear duratrac 35s on our daily driver and really like them.

 

x2 on the Duratracs. Nice quiet, supple ride on the road, and you can beat the snot out of them off road. Awesome traction everywhere, and for a decent price.

 

Cepek Mud country tires wear well an are my dds tires. Not too loud an great off road.

 

Check out the Interco Trxus STS. it's an AT but looks more aggressive like a MT.

 

Try the nitto trail grapplers.. have 10000 miles on them and they are holding so well. Prob get 45000 + out of them. They are quiet as hell to ...

 

I have the pro Comp Xtreme AT's and they are awesome. Absolutely no road noise and they are as good as my Toyo MT's offroad. They are even wearing better than my Toyo's.

 

I run BFG AT/KO's in 315/75/16 on the JK, but I've been running them for years on many of my rides. I love 'em. They are great in the wet and snow, don't make much road noise, are pretty darn good off-road and if you check your air pressure once a week or so, these things will last for 40-50K miles! For a daily driver I would highly recommend them.
