If you've ever get the chance to ride in a Cherokee with 33/12.5 on 15 inch rims, do it. The ride quality is great. The roads in Klamath Falls are pretty bad because when the ice freezes it buckles the asphalt. so the pot holes are filled constantly. The move from 31's to 33's was huge as far as ride quality. My Cherokee rides better than my wife's Buick. :driving:

Yep your tires are soaking up all the bumps... Tire flex's more.

I agree with this. I used to run 33's and then went back to stock 225's for the summer. What a difference.

I have em as well. I do need new back tires. I would not say Buick quality but I would say Mustang - or sport ride.

My Jeep rides so nice. It bucks, yes, but it feels strong. It hasn't felt this way since it was new. The lift, tires, and wheels were a great improvement in many areas.

Hard to watch the speed-o but I can enter a 90 degree turn at 30 miles per hour, in the turn and exit it at 20 mph, hit the gas and go. And that's from inside lane to inside lane.

My wife laughs at me but I gotta get a video.

Lol try 35x12.5 on 15" rims, then air them down and crawl around the snow. Feels like your floating.

I know those types of tires does that when cold but you get in 100+ degree they soften out prety fast on hot asphault.

A buddy of mine has 49's on a deuce and a half, it takes about 10 minutes of driving to get enough heat in them to start rounding out.

Driving a duece just sucks anyways (especially when drunk or hung over lol). I drove one for 6 years.
