Need your opinion experts...I have decided to go with the Cragar soft 8's 16X8. I have a TF 2.5" BB with shocks.. Now comes tire size choice....

For information: less than 10% offroad (in future, not really gone offroad yet), Sahara Automatic, believe its 4.10

Why are you choosing between three different tire sizes AND brands? Just wondering. It seems the logical train of thought would be to determine the size you wanted and then determine the brand and style.

I really want the the 35's, but I only have a 2.5" BB and I have heard some people complain of rubbing and sluggishness. Next best is 34's and of the 34's I like the MT's the best. If people dont vote for it, means its not preferred. I remember seeing a thread about what if it blows on the trail, etc..not very common size. 33's are just .8 inches bigger than stock...but if you notice choice 1 and 3 are Cooper STT's. I have seen Mr. T's and love them. If cooper made 34's I would pick those....

Do not get the MT Baja Belted. I had those. They are horrible in any amount of snow. I did not check where you live, but if you get any snow, I would advise against them.

This poll doesn't make much sense. That is probably why there aren't many votes.

You should poll for tire size then poll for brand based on the tire size or vica versa.
When I say tire size actually post the size of the tire ie: 255/85/16

Since you said you won't be off-road much, I went with the 33's. Why kill your gas mileage and power if you don't have too. Tires are cheaper too.
