Default n00b Question: What size tire?

I just picked up my first Cherokee. :-)

It's a 97" with a 6" suspension lift and it's sitting on 38" Super Swampers. I'm looking to buy another set of tires for road use for commuting to work and such. I don't wanna burn up the tread on the Swampers driving to work everyday. ;-) Any recommendations on size, brand, etc?

Thank you!

There are a thousand answers to that I would probably go a little smaller - 35 or 37. I am partial to BFG's, myself, lke KM2's. But again, there are many many factors, and no right answers to the question. Most all terrain tires will last for plenty of time.

I was thinking about going smaller to help with gas mileage. :-)
