I ordered my lift Friday (2.5") and I'm going with 31's. I found 31x10.50r16 tires! Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips. Not only are they the size I want, but I've read nothing but good reviews about them.

Drunken: Thanks for the pics, your YJ is mighty sharp!

You know if PJ Tires were that good, you'd expect to see more of them and you don't.  I don't know anyone who runs them.  They're fairly pricey as well.  I think I'd rather go with a GY MT/R or a BFG KM-2 in a 15".

I found some rubicon wheels on craigslist for cheap. The wheels that came on the Jeep are chrome and beginning to rust. I figured I would just sell the wheels and tires together.

The price is actually not much different than BFG or MTR 31's. The PJ's are a little cheaper. Some people on other forums had good things to say about them. And I can pretend it doesn't say PJ on the tread pattern, but JP  ;)

I have 235x85-16's.

Work out to 32" tall and mine are the Toyo Mud Terrains.
Worked awsome in CO elk hunting last week and really helped my gas mileage.

I took your advise and put the rubicon wheels on craigslist so I can get 15" wheels with 31" MTZ's.

From what I've been told my friends, the SSR & TSL Radials suck.  They don't offer many more miles then the bias ply but cost more.

Really? I'll have to keep that in mind. Don't bias ply kinda suck in the winter on the street? As far as they can be kinda "bumpy" until they are warmed up?

This happens all year. It's worse in the winter since it takes longer for the tires to warm up and round themselves out again. A friend of mine runs some Pitbull tires. He keeps his front end on jack stands since it sits for long periods without use to help prevent some nasty wobble until the tires warm up.
