i am considering larger tires like in a year or two i need to save for a 44 in front. i am still very undecided. when i mean highway i mean ocasional trips down the freeway mostly around town work is only 9 miles away. how bad is the miliage with teh 5.13's??

 

Not bad at all and in my opinion, the only people who should stay away from 5.13's/35" tires are those who watch their MPG computer trying to get every last .1 mile out of their Jeep.

 

well thats not me its too scary to watch!!!

 

I run a 2dr on 35 's I went to 4:88 from 4:10's. The difference was great I still need to lock out the OD on occation. So I wonder if I should have gone to 5:13
The power off the line is a huge diference. Good Luck

 

Would you recommend 5.13 with manual or auto?

I have a manual with 4:10 running 33" at the moment with ARB front and back air lockers. I am upgrading to 35" so should I go for 4:88 or 5:10??

Thanks

 

If you have an auto, definitely go 5.13's. I have a manual and went with 5.13's anyway and loved it.

 

I'm not sure you'd see much difference in mileage between the 4:88's and the 5:13's?

In O/D I can run 70-75 on the freeway (flat freeway) and still be turning less than 2,000 RPM's.

The few bucks you might save can't compare with how nice the 5:13's feel.

Just my $.02!
