Tire Question
 

I just put a 3.5 " RE short arm lift on my '98 TJ and am now ready to
buy new tires. I have been running 31 x 10.5 x 15 tires on the stock
grizzly aluminum rims. I am trying to decide between 33 x 10.5 tires
and 33 x12.5 tires. I use my Jeep as a daily driver and off-road most
every weekend with three or four trips to Moab each year. I drive on
snow and ice around town each winter. I know my choices are limited in
the 10.5 tire. What are the different handling characteristics of each
size tire? I did get it regeared so that is not an issue.

I would say get the 33 x10.5 tires. Because if you get the 33 x 12.5
you may have some rubbing. With your front end. I am just passing on
what I have been told on this group. Hope this is of any help Thanks
Jamie.

Yes, if I go with the wider tire I will need to get new wheels with
less backspacing. One of the reasons I am looking at the narrow tire.

I vote for the 10.5 width.
