Default 5.13s and 35s with a 6 speed?

I've got 5.13 gears for my 2 door 6 speed. Im curious to know what my rpms will be like at 60mph with 35s. Is anyone running this combo that could chime in and tell me if you like it or not. Thanks in advance

My jeep would never see over 60mph so I think 35s would be ok with 5.13s I'm considering running 35/1350/15 toyos and some steel wheels the money I would save would be enough for a winch I also love the beefy sidewall look

I'm still debating on 4.88s versus 5.13s. I have 35" tires on my 6 speed 2 door X as well. Jesus, even 4.11s would be a huge improvement from my 3.21s.

I won't ever see over 60 either so... I still can't make up my mind.

Default 4.88's

I have 35's, 6-speed and 4.88's and my rpms at 60 are at 2500. They only climb as you go faster.

Well I avoid the freeway anyway if possible...and I still don't get how any type of gearing would effect tire wear Unless your buddy is real heavy on the gas
