Hello everyone. I frequent the forums but this is my first thread

So I just ordered my 2013 jeep unlimited sport S, it should be here in a couple weeks. I'm having some sleepless nights debating on what size tires to go with. I know it already comes with 255/75/R17's, but they are the crappy wrangler sr-a's. the dealer said that they would buy those tires off of me when the jeep comes in. And they would give me the new ones I want for cost, which is a pretty sweet deal to me. The jeep will be probably 100% on the road and never off road. So I have some question before I make my decision.

I like the look of the leveling kit and 33's and since this will be my new born baby wagon is it worth going to 33's and possibly spacers to gain a 1/2 an inch or just stay with the 32's but get a better tire.

I would eventually like 35's but i am nervous about it being an uncomfortable commuter. Has anyone run 35's on a more street specific tire. Does it just look goofy. I drove my buddies 2 door with 35 mud tires and I wouldnt be able to stand it as a daily driver or drive 3 hours on vacation.

The jeep is a manual with 3.73 gears.

 

Bfg at is a light tire and rides nice, you can also look at the Goodyear duratrac's as they look a little more aggressive

 

Yeah. I've looked at those as well as the nitto terra grapplers. Just wondering if it would be worth moving up to 33's instead of the 32's

 

Here are the terra grapplers in 33x13" on stock Sahara 18's with a $50 1.75" leveling kit and 1.25" wheel spacers



Middle pic are 35" bfg mt with same lift just added 1.25" body lift

 

Sweet rig. Did you notice a Hugh change going from the 33's to the 35's with performance and street driving
