I took the 35" Mickey Thompson's off my old truck and mounted them to the 15 MB72's.
This Jeep looks beefy and stable! There has been absolutely no rubbing at all in normal street driving with my teraflex leveling kit.
I have noticed a bit more noise from these tires, but nothing overwhelming. And a super tiny bit of shaking in the steering wheel. This might be because these tire are used (uneven wear from the 1979 GMC). However, they were balanced.
I will do my best to get out soon and pull the sway bar disco's and see where and if they rub on anything.
Or am I just being a pest and no one cares about this but me?

Just had mine put on this morning with the 33x12.5 Wrangler Duratracs. I was a little apprehensive about the tires sticking out too far, but they really do look great; not excessive at all. I'll post up some pics shortly.
And thanks to Matt & Travis for all the help via PM.

Load range = C. The ride feels great thusfar. I'd say it's comparable to stock, but that's only after about 25 miles of on-road driving. I haven't felt a performance hit, and there hasn't been anything that has jumped out as being excessively different/abnormal. The Duratracs are definitely quiet.
