Hey guys,
I'm running a 2011 3.8 JK with auto tranny on a 2.5 lift..
Just wondering which tire sizes would give me most bang for my buck.
A lot of guys here run 285/70s but they seem to be getting quite horrible fuel consumption.
So I'm thinking, why not just go slightly bigger and get 305/70s and deal with the same horrible fuel consumption but have the joy of bigger tires.
However, are the 305s not getting close to regear territory? Cause if I end up having to regear a sloth Jeep I'd rather just go all out with 35s..
But I'd prefer to save the cash from regearing for winch, lighting etc..
At same time, I work abroad for most of the year, so my JK sits around most of the time. So I guess if you look at the bigger picture, my fuel bill over the period of a year will be hardly anything.
So that's it I guess..
Will appreciate all the input I can get
