I ran 33" swamper radials on my 99 TJ with 3.73s and didn't notice a significant power loss. I had 2" coil spacers and a 2 inch body lift and had no vibration problems what so ever. Right now i run 35" Toyo Open Country MTs on my duramax and i honestly won't run any other tire. Their durability is amazing - i have over 40,000kms on mine with and they don't even look half worn yet. The secret is rotating them religiously, i do mine every 5000-7000 kms. As for winter traction on snow and ice, in my experience they are equal to a BFG All-terrain (which is my bench mark for winter tires as they stick like glue no matter how icy the roads are). I am extremely impressed with their poor weather traction and low road noise. My next set of tires for my YJ will be Toyo MTs.

Its your fault Razor!  I know I should go with 31's but those darn 33's just keep calling.

My last concern is the tire/gear combo.  Many people find the ratio ok with 33's, just as many find it unacceptable.

I started a fresh thread to resolve this as I am making my decision this week.

Bought 31x 10.5x15 Firestone Destinations today.  Tough but sensible choice.  Thanks to everyone.  My wife and I are joining the club soon so the family can try some wheeling trips.

what did they cost you out the door if you don't mind disclosing that info?
