TJ Tire Size
 

I've got Goodyear Wrangler 30 x 9.5 inch tires on my stock '02 Safari.
Looks like she's due for some new rubber. What's the largest tire I
can go to without a body or suspension lift & not experience any
problems? Any good tire recommenadtions? No seroius offroading with
lots of city & highway driving. Thanks!!

Rubicons as well.

You can go to a 31x10.5, but you will lose a bunch of traction going
wider.

I recommend you take a tape measure to your tread to see what is
actually on the road (the 9.5" is the sidewall width) and try to shop
for something about the same width if you like your current grab on the
road. Taller and stay thin is my recommendation.

I got a radical increase in traction when I went from a 10.5 to a 9.5,
but I got a large jump smaller in tread width on the road due to the
taller and fatter sidewall on my 33x9.5's.
