Daily Driver 35's or 37's?

[brancky3]

I hear people talk about 20+ mpg and am pretty confused about that...I'm consistently at ~13.5 no matter how I drive.

I really want to know the real world MPG decrease from 35s compared to stock Sport S tires. Right now I'm averaging 19.2 on the 5 fill-ups I've done so far - I've only done ~140 miles of highway (about 10% overall) but my commute is ~45mph pretty light city driving.

I averaged around 18mpg stock (22ish on the highway). Since installing the 2.5" lift and 38" tires, I've averaged around 16 (18ish on the highway).

I just got my 37"s and lift installed this week, so I can tell you driving back to back on my LE there is little difference in power or braking (I don't drive aggressively though). I do notice the tires grab the even road surfaces a little more, but that is to be expected. Overall, I love it and would do it again in a heartbeat. You can check out pics in the Build/Rig journals under Freyja. If I did 35's I think no lift looks perfect as well...fine with the lift too, but dame the 37's look sick!

Your build looks great!
We have 2 pups Odin & Freya, your build may have swayed my decision just based on the name!
We have it in writing that if the gator color isn't what we want the dealer will order another vehicle for us. We are probably going with black just like yours. (Although we really like stinggrey too)

I just have NO idea how this is happening but k.
I'm running around 14.5 with my 37s.
DISCLAIMER, I think I'm running the absolute HEAVIEST setup possible with my Armory's and General Tires.

IF the mileage won't kill you, go 37. If you're even contemplating it, just do it now, or you'll do it later...

Yeah, my Black Rhino Yorks and Milestar Pats weigh in at 113.4 lbs. The Milestars are light for the size.

Ugg you guys are killing me. Are we all 100% sure I won't have issues with 37's on a stock rubi no lift. Cause if they don't fit and and I have to squeeze in the lift costs lets just say the boss isn't going to be happy and I will be looking to practice my overloading in the backyard.

put on your big boy pants and order the 37's and a cheapo lift.....save for the big lift.

Ya, I didn't say that, I'm running a MOPAR 2".
Good luck in your negotiations.

Yup, what he said.

My 2" Daystar lift is waiting in my garage. Plans include beadlocks and 37's combined with daily driving. Here in Inland Southern California, that's how it's done. In time, I'll go 4½ inches - most likely Game Changer/6-pack.

Go 37’s, you won’t regret it. Mine drives better lifted than it did stock. I have zero complaints!

My issue is, how will the 2inch lift and the 37 effect my towing? I am pulling a rpod and gear total maybe 4000lbs

I have a Gator Rubicon on order for my wife.
This will be her daily driver (25mile one way backroads).
It will be getting the mopar 2" lift.

I can not decide if we should go with 35's or 37's.
I'm probably going to do an AT tire (maybe yokohama x-AT).
I did get the max tow package, and the Jeep will see occasional trail use, but nothing crazy.

I've looked through the forums and can't seem to get a good feel for what to do.
I love the look of the 37's but I know 35's make more sense for daily use.

I just don't want to regret not doing the 37's upfront.


Thanks!

I’m confused. I didn’t think you could get the Max Tow package in a Rubicon. I thought it was only available in Sport or Sport-S.

35's for sure 2" lift with Bf tires - feels as good and quiet as factory... And looks killer...

I guess you guys aren't coming from anything sporty. My last vehicle was a BMW 330i ZHP. It was no sports car, but it would move when I wanted it to. This thing is a DOG, even with just a 2" lift and OEM 33s. 18-19 mpg
