Default 33" tire combo

Well theres a pair of 33x10.5 tires that I've seen on craigslist for a while lately and i've been thinking... Would it be absurd to run a pair of 33x10's up front and a pair of 33x12's in the rear? Any thoughts or experiences?

absurd? I wouldn't say that, but it would be quite noticeable. Also, there would be no tire rotating. I would do matching sizes all around, myself.

Yeah I thought about the tire rotation problem, but seeing as the 33x10's are 40 bucks for the pair with half tread and I put 2000 miles on my jeep a year I wasn't too concerned about tire wear. I think it would look kind of neat having slightly wider rear tires though

You could rotate... left to right, right to left. Not the best but it would work ok as that goes.

Sounds to me that you would have something alittle different, kind of a hot rod look, lol. Having the front tires narrower might also help with clearance since the front tires have to steer unlike the back.
