Now I just need to figure out what tire and what size I'm going to run. I dont want to cut my fender by any means, I like my body color flares lol. Any suggestions. I was thinking either Firestone Destination M/T, Mickey Thompson MTZ, Cooper SST M/T, or Kumho R.V. M/T.........

I'm not wanting to do any trimming. I do have 3.75 back spacing on my wheels. Not sure if 33's will clear the front fenders while turning.
I agree go smaller then so u have some clearence mine easily fits 35s but barely rub flexed all the way so i prefer my smaller tires lol even tho seems most people all about shoving the biggest tires they can on lol
I dont prefer cooper. I work for a insurance aution and had a case that a wrangler came in where the tread seperated in the tire caused rollover and 3 of 4 people were killed. Guess it can happen to any tire but from what i heard that is pretty common for that brand of tire.

WOW! I guess that tire is out of the question.

Did some measuring this evening and it looks like I can only run 31" tires without rubbing or cutting. Talked to my Uncle who's a big wig at JEGS and they carry Mickey Thompson tires. I get everything there at his cost!!! Can get either a MT MTZ or the Baja Claws for $155 a piece. Or there's the Dick Cepeck Mud Country. All of these tire have pretty good reviews online for $135 each....Any suggestions?

I really want something with a agressive looking sidewall, like the mickey thimpsons and the dick cepecks mud countrys. Seems like alot of guys on here run the KM2's. I'm really not a fan on how they look. I hate seening a beefy truck with some waht of a street tire.
