Changing 35's

[Escape.idiocracy]

Just curious for those who have moved from stock, 33's over to 35's. Is there a big difference in effort to say change a flat tire and the gear needed. Am thinking of moving to 35's but as I get older I must face the music that things are a bit more troublesome each year.

This is a super subjective topic.

example- my in law is running some Les Schwab 35” tires with rhino arsenal wheels…. 122#’s weighs more thank my JK’s pat. 37” tires and dirty life beadlocks…..

method makes some nice light weight wheels…. Tires….. well depends what you are going to wheel threw…. Nitto’s are heavy- but I have never ripped or cut one of their side walls…. Sacrifice is weight for improved durability….
Goodyear MTR’s are lightish… pat’s are light… etc.

Wheel and tire weights are posted on manufacturers sites. Probably worth spending some time looking up.
From a diameter perspective…. No better or worse than factory.

Don’t blame you. My Kendas are only 65lbs but I did not enjoy putting them back on after installing my shocks. Im not weak but also not a power lifter by any means. It was a nice workout though lol

Precisely why I'm looking at the Nitto Recon Grappler in 35. I love that the MT Baja Boss AT are great tires but at 73 lbs. No thanks.
