Goodyear Wrangler Authority 31 10.50's Or Firestone destination MT's 33 1250's

If I get the firestones I'll have 33's I'll have to get some steelie rims. There is a sale for 25% off. they'll be about 150 apiece. the steelies are like 50 bucks. The authorities fit right on my rims. I could even afford a spare! they are 135 at my walmart.

Am I gonna regret not getting 33's. I do lots of mud and trails around my post. Not many rocks.

Help me out fella's Its gonna cost me like 3-400 bucks more for the 33's. I have stock gearing and axles and I'm gonna have 4.5 lift.

id get the 33's/ If you do a lot of trailing and mudding id think its worth it. i decided to save some money and not get 33's and i regret it cuz now i am getting them soon and i wasted my money on the smaller ones now basically.

with 33s you will need gears and to upgrade your front shafts for full circle clip u joints. without gears it will feel like a dog.

Do not trust Firestone tires! I've never had a set wear out, they always blew apart first.
