last week, i was running 35x12.50s on my jk unlimited with a 2.5inch lift. this week...32s...
went from 8.4-10mpg and 15-18mpg... but i feel like a part of me is missing...is the mpg worth it? its nice...just dont feel like a jeep

idk...just a rant

 

What gears are you running?

 

stock for an 07 sahara...i thought it was 4.10s and someone confused me on that so now im clueless

 

Part of you is missing. I'd go back to 35's, but sometimes better MPG can make all the difference in the world...if you REALLY need it, of course.

Have you tried a flashpaq or something? To keep better MPG on 35s

 

Auto or stick? In '07, it was either 3.21 or 4.10....they didn't offer the 3.73 until '08. If you have tow package, will be 4.10.

 

then its 4.10s...ive got and auto...wish it was a stick tho lol

 

wish i got 15 stock :(

i got 35's and im getting 9 mpg's

 

Yeah, I wanted 35's too. I need the mileage, though. I live WAY out of town so my Jeep sees a lot of highway. I've put on 20k km since November and I'm sad to say most of them have been highway so far. And it was parked for a month! I couldn't deal with the mileage being so low and I'm not sure what gears I have either. I think they're 3.73 on an '09 X. I got the tow package but the salesman couldn't tell me much else. I'm running 32's right now but will bump up to 33's when I need new tires . I figure an auto with 3.73 should be able to handle that size. You're right, though. . The JK seems to be made for 35's!

 

im the same way man, i work an hour and a half from home and i spend a good 4 hours in the jeep everyday....should be smart like my old man and get a benz e320 cdi....but, well see...im deciding if i should put the 35s back on or get a new set of 33s..

 

If you drive a lot, maybe, if possible, is get a lease of an inexpensive compact, that has great mileage, and leave your Jeep (and its 35"/37"/40"s) for weekends and vacation - I bet the economics are favorable (not everyone can drive a inexpensive compact, I agree, but they evolved a lot). The environment and your Jeep will thank you!

If it's a very modified Jeep, it's even impossible for much highway use.
