Default Larger tires on 2012 JKU question
Putting some Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/70/18 on my 2012 jku with auto trans and wanted to know if it would cause any problems running the larger tires while waiting for my procal to come in.

What gears? What wheels?

That's a 34.5" tire, so ideally you need a lift unless you want a mall crawler.

Ahh ok. Your shift points and evic mpg will be off a bit, but it should not do any real harm. I went a few weeks on 36's before using a Procal.
