Default Road Trip Tire Question.

I am purchasing my Unlimited X in Georgia then within a couple of weeks driving to Arizona for my new job. My question is, would I get better highway handling and gas mileage with the stock 225/75/16's and upgrade when I get to AZ? Or go ahead and get bigger tires and get them put on when I receive it from the dealer? I am thinking 33' BFG AT's, nothing huge. I am new to all this and if the smaller tires could save me money on my trip out west, I will just be patient and wait. Let me know what you think.

Use the little ones for the trip. Not for the miles, but just to keep the miles off your new ones.
