I have 98 TJ with Rough Country 3 and 1/4 suspension lift and no body lift. The gear ratio is 5.13.
currently I have 15” dick cepek rims and 33 12.5 15 Mickey Thompson M/T tires.
it runs good at 45, and starts showing sluggish and struggle at 55. I could barely make it to 65 and it’s becomes scary ride.
I also have 2020 JL 17” rims.
I’m looking for recommendations if there are any better tires which could reduce weight and give better ride?
I did read a lot and 35” isn’t recommended. Will it change the behavior with 17” wheel?
Or if I get 33” (or say 34”) different tires on 17” - will it change ride?
I also know there are multiple threads around it. I’m checking if 15 vs 17 rims and tire size combo makes a difference?
