Default Changing 35" tires between Jeeps
Okay, I have a 2008 JKU with 35x12.5x17 and a 2013 JK with 35" tires with a thinner profile. I am taking the 2013 overseas to Africa and want to swap the tires around since the bigger ones seem to work better off road and the ex will use the 2008 while I'm gone and will never take it past the curb. Do I need to get alignments on both or simply swap them around?

No alignment needed. Just swap the tires.

X2. As long as they are balanced, swap them out.
