i want to go with 31 to start because i drive the highway alot and i dont want my gas mileage to completely die and regearing the axles is expensive so that was something i was going ot wait on. plys its still a good size to do alot of stuff and they arnt too expensive

OK that's fine I usually don't go over 80 on the highway in my jeep. That what I have a motorcycle for! I'll either get 31s or 32s when I save up the money to lift and do tires I'm hoping by may it will be trail ready with lift and tires. Maybe bumpers fabbed up too

Building mine bumpers now. But yeah id go 31s or 33s. 32s arent the most common size, and the Inevitable blow out in the middle of the smallest town in the world a 32 will be pricey almost every truck is on 31 or 33 or the equivalent in metric

Discount tire actually has some decent 32s for not too much. My tire size honestly depends how much money have at the time of when I go to buy them. And how much the bastard pack will give me in lift. I'll also put on 1.5 inch shackles if the leafs don't increase much.

I have really seen much about them looks at this way the top tire manufacturers are bridgestone, cooper (mastercraft, definity,mickey thompson, dick cepek), Goodyear ( douglas,dunlop, kelly-springfield), Micheiln ( bfg, uniroyal), toyo( nitto), yokohama. The gt radial are made by giti which also make primewell.
