Yours does look amazing as well. Most JTs I see here are Sports and they somehow don’t look right.

Even JL Sports sometimes look funny to me, the tires on a :jeep: need a bit of nobby.
JTs are long AF and need larger tires to look proportionate. Rubicon 33s are the minimum, 35s look just right IMO.
37s are :jimp: and you can get them to fit in the spare spot, aired down.

I want to swap to an AT 35 on my JT though. Should be :notbad:

37's sure look the best, but the compromises for fuel range, driving dynamics, and durability just make the JT :butwhy: It's no longer a useful truck at that point,

So much work to run 37s, plus compromises like you said. They do look purdy doe.

37's really should have stronger axles to do right. I'd honestly rather just buy a 2-door JLU, throw 35's on it and out wheel everything.

A 2 door JL on 32”s should outwheel a JTR on 37s.

A 2 door JL on 32”s should outwheel a JTR on 37s.
The JTR would probably beat it if it's built to run 37's properly.

But a stock 2 door JLR would likely out wheel it.

Over 10 if they were changed as required.

On a rental, I'm thinking 20+ to get to 120K miles... My :poorvette: tires only last about 5k miles.

I think it uses PS Sport cup 2s.

The total cost is $2000 for just the tires... 180 treadwear. With install it is probably $2500... so... 20 sets... @2500 is 50k :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think 5K miles on those on a rental car is... ambitious at best. They probably just threw some China crap on the thing :doe:

He didn’t have the Rs... which uses the wild tires. I did hear stories of 2500/3000 miles per set.

Also China crap doesn’t come in 335 sizes

Exterior Color is very unique as it is a very dark metallic brown which only shows in the sun and black under regular light.
It is the same color as GOD'S CHARIOT
