I have the 315 75 16 been running them about a year now. I like them, still have a lot of tread left. No issues and they look good IMO

Looks like your jku is set up they way I'm going with me wife's. Do you have any lift on yours. She has the tf 1.5 leveling kit with 285/70r17's. She wants it taller so I'm planning to do the 315/70's with flats

No I don't have any lift right now. Rear end is higher just a little right now because I have my tire carrier off getting powder coated. I have a RK 2.5 lift on the way. Thinking of upgrading to 37s. But I like these tires for sure. Flats and no lift and plenty of room

Have you measured the actual height of the tire. 315/75r16 is a 34.5" right?

I'm running 305/55/20's (33x12.50"). Decent tires but a bit louder on the highway than I was hoping for...

Definitely look good. They look bigger than 33's on yours.
