Well i will be getting my new tires soon so i want to know what size i should get! I have a 3 inch lift kit on my jeep. I want to find the best tires that would be round 32 to 33 and stick out side of jeep just a tad. But the best wheels for the best gas. I was looking at 305/70/16 but i think there to wide and kill my gas. So plz help and put pictures up if you can thanks!
From my reading all the info on here, I would stick with a set of 30's or 31's....unless you shaved off some fender as well as took off the fender flares. Good chance you may not see a horrible drop in mpg's. I would guess less than 2 mpg, if that

Ya I get 16 if I never have to go up a hill and never go above 2000 rpm drive everywhere like grandma. But get 13 if I drive like a normal person with 35's and 3.55 gears

Either this guy doesn't know what he is talking about, or he did a axle/transmission/gear swap. I might be wrong but I thought the 3.07's came with the ax15 not the aw4.

If you want a lifted JEEP with big tires, FORGET about good gas mileage. Bigger tires will hurt the MPG, diameter and width. AXEL gearing will need to be changed to restore SOME of the lost MPG and power.
