Anyone prefer to daily their JT on their stock wheel/tire setup and keep their wheeling setup (i.e. separate set of 37") in the garage until the weekend?

It’s not an unreasonable thing to do if you have a lift. No sense in wearing out expensive off road tires if you can swap them in 20 minutes with the right equipment.
I don’t have a lift, but I have swapped back to stock for long trips.

Changing out the wheels & tires weekly is a lot of work…… but if that’s what you want to do, then just do it. What are your concerns with daily driving on 37’s?
Are there ‘drivability’ issues that you encounter that make you uncomfortable daily driving it?

I’d think most folks would swap wheel/tires for the winter - but I’ve never heard of someone swapping weekly.

Back 25 years ago…. The concern was more about drivability, comfort, and breakage on the trails. The YJ became a street legal trail rig… and we bought a trailer to tow it around. 😉

Not anymore but years ago I did when I lived in the snow belt. But I had a second set of alloy wheels that had dedicated snow/ice tires, Firestone Blizzacks in the tallest narrow as possible size at 31.6 inches tall for my 2015 Cherokee TrailHawk 4x4, V6. That was unstoppable in up to a foot of heavy snow and ice. But most importantly very stable with great stopping ability, even on black ice! Without studs!
