Default New to me 2012 JK

Hello from Texas! Been looking for a second vehicle for myself for a while, owned a 1990 Wrangler 15 years ago and wanted to get into an Unlimited and found a 2012 Unlimited MW3. The only thing that scared me was the 108K miles on it. Seems to drive real well, only thing I believe I'll need to fix is a broken seatbelt buckle in the backseat and I'll need new tires in the next 5 to 10 thousand miles. Anybody with suggestions with bigger tires with the stock wheels? Thanks!

I like the way it looks now. Or just put some 33's and wheel spacers in like spidertrax 1.5" spacers and you'll be good to hook. Welcome to the forum

Thanks for the suggestion, may stick with stock size tires then.

Ok, if I stick with the original size, 255/75/17, what would be a better tire, the BFG Mud Terrains or the Goodyear Duratracs? Probably see 95% pavement...

I just went through a set of bfg MUDs in a year and a half. They don't hold up well on a daily driver.
