Can we edit this so anyone who can contribute also includes what size larger tire they are showing?

Great idea.

Post #3 has LT285/70-17 E-rated Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

Post #5 has (edited) LT37x12.50-17 E-rated Falken Wildpeak M/T

From here on out, post what size tire you're showing.

So far, these are looking pretty good. I'm considering going back to my stock wheels because my aftermarket wheels are decimating my paint and fenders with gravel (I drive miles of gravel roads daily). But, I hate the factory tires on the Sport. Hence, why I want to see better tires on stock wheels. Keep 'em comin'.

Come on! There's gotta be more owners that are broke from the intial purchase, forcing them to put the bigger rubber on stock sport rims. Lol. Anyone?

I guess not. I really thought this thread would get more traffic. Hmm..

Hahhaa I tried to start that scenic wheeling picture thread that had hundreds of pages in the XJ forum. I honestly think these JTs are just too new. Not enough people have em yet, and the ones that do go all out with new rims and mall crawling. So we'll have to wait and be the pioneers. Haha. I'm not even 100% sure I'm going to go with the mopar lift anymore. Maybe just a small spacer kit, and some 35s on JL rubi takeoffs.

Feels like stock in terms of comfort. Can’t tell if it’s louder. Can tell that it’s taller. Love the truck even more now.

Very nice. See, I think the Sport wheels are actually pretty sharp looking wheels. They just need a decent tire on them.

I agree with this 100%. When I first started seeing Sport S', I thought they looked pretty bad with those wheels. But once people started upgrading tires on the stock wheels, I realized it's literally just the wimpy looking stock Sport tires that make it look bad. I was was ready to change wheels as soon as I get my JT until I saw them with better tires. I just saved my self several hundred dollars, because now I'm just gonna need to get different tires.

Sorry I am completely confused about tires, but online it says the stock Sport S tires are 245/75R17, these Falkens are 285/70R17. Does the difference of 75 vs 70 for the second number matter?
