Are you talking size or just switching brands but same size. I like those tires and had them on my Jeep with no issues. I'd keep em.
Time to go wheelin!

well, what do you think?  tires are entirely a personal preference.  if you like em, why not keep em?

how much have you wheeled with those tires yet?  Keep them if you haven't done much wheelin'  you'll be surprised where you can go with 33"s.  Just ask blackdiamond. :thumbs:

I will provide some info when I get home in an hour or so.  Nothing wrong with 33's.  :biggthumpup:

Hopefully I will get my Moab 2006 DVD and CD tonight in the mail so I can relive the trip!

Here is a list of trails that I have run with baby 33 inch tires and about 5 inches of lift.

(1) Pritchett Canyon - Easter Jeep Safari Rated 5 (official scale of 1 to 4)

(2) Behind the Rocks Backwards - Easter Jeep Safari Rated 4+ (The EJS goes down the two most difficult hills)

(3) Metal Masher - including Widow Maker and Rock Chucker Hill

(4) Dump Bump & Potato Salad Hill (easy line)

(5) Hells Reveng - including Mickey's Hot Tub and Excalator

The only place that I have really had a ground clearance issue was one of the waterfalls on Pritchett Canyon where I pushed my front tires into the air due to my break over angle (extended cab 85).  Gotrocks had no problem in his runner with 37's.

I don't always take the absolute hardest line, but I rarely take a strap.
