TOTW: Does Size REALLY Matter?

33s for a true DD. 35s for a nice dual duty rig. My next set will be 38s...

honestly i can say size doesnt matter as much at tread bite. my jeep on little 30's goes through more stuff than some guys with bald 33's

How are their on road manners?

Serously? A bias ply swamper? Road manners? You can't discuss both in the same sentence! I don't think Interco actually makes a round tire! They kick ass off road, but aren't meant to be used on a true "street" vehicle...

My XJ is my DD.... meaning.... i drive from my house to my work (about 12 blocks), and home every day. On the weekends I usually drive it to wherever I will be wheeling, wheel it, and then drive it home. Those are the only road manners i care about. For actual road trips or even going to the grocery store, i drive the JK.

33's ... because that is what I have.

A lifted XJ with full widths could probably drive up in it!

Sound like a girl I once... uh, yeah.

I would have to agree on an XJ 35's would be best. Or even 36's

I dd'ed my xj 70 miles a day with 6" of lift and 35's. its not the DD anymore but I still plan on driving it cross country and where ever with the tons and 37s.

IMO, I'd say Swamper Q78s are the perfect tire for an XJ (or MJ in my case). I'd swap my new 36" SXs for another set of Qs. They are 35.5x11, ran at 5psi on an 8" wheel without beadlocks, tough as nails, and the thread depth is deeper than any other swamper. my 0.02

Give the SXs a chance! They have a way tougher/stiffer sidewall. And awesome sidewall tread. Let a little air out of them...
