Going to order tires on Friday. Still going nuts over which to get. GY Duratrac 285/16 (just under 33 inches) or to get 315/16 (right around 34.4)

I cant afford a re-gear. I dont want to put on a after market tire carrier. I checked and the tire weight and its something like 12 lbs difference.

Im afraid the 33's wont look big enough to me, however I dont want to killllll gas mileage or suffer any long term problems.

Pice diff is only 150 bucks total.

Help me decide!

 

33's are a little bigger than the Rubicon stock tires. Go with the bigger tires.

 

go with 315/70/17 and post pics when you get them on
sorry i'm no help lol I'm stuck on ordering tires as well

 

you have a leveling kit or anything like that on you Jeep?

 

Ya, so tires that are 34.4 tall, and then you add the weight of the jeep, the radius goes down farther and should effect power/gas mileage loss less right? Or am I using bro science?

I'd say go with the bigger tires. But it would help if you filled out your "About Me" section, or told everyone what you're running. 2-dr or 4-dr, auto or manual, X or Rubicon, etc. That will also help the decisions.

...but still, go with the 35's. You'll be glad you did.


Although this quote might make a difference. Any reason why you're not wanting to upgrade?

 

I would go with the bigger tire. The DuraTrac is pretty light so I don't think it will cause any major issues.

 

Then I would go with the 34.4 tires, but I believe you'll need to get spacers. Do an image search on google. try to get some pictures of these tires on some Jeeps and it'll help you decide.

 

Sorry, filling it out right now, 2010 4 dr.
