I'm going to be getting one tire every couple of weeks. Which tires you might ask? I think they're pretty...beefy.

33x12.50x15 General Grabber Red Letters.

It was an empty can I found in the garage. I felt the picture needed an obligatory aluminum can in the picture to reference the size.
 
So then what week are you going to spend mad money on a lift to fit those tires? My 30" tires would rub pretty bad on my cherokee with no lift. And once you go past 3" lift on a cherokee you have to replace a lot of other things for it to work, and 33" tires wont fit on a 3" lift either.

They'll fit just fine with my 3.5" Rubicon Express lift with the 1" spacers and 1" shackles that are waiting to go on. Trust me, I did plenty of reading and research for about a year and a half after I got the XJ before I bought the lift. I'm doing it right too. SYE, Disco's, Adj. Track Bar, Bump Stops,Bar Pin Eliminators, Braided Brake Line Extension, Shims, etc. Besides, I'm going to have to get cut-out flares anyway at some point. So obviously trimming is on my list.

Lol, the only way that tire will fit on there now is with the axle off the car. :laugh:
 
Lift kit we don't need no stinking lift kit just chop it and roll it in :shrug::rolleyes::laugh::laugh:

Big tires are big.

I weighed one today on a cheap walmart scale, It's around 90 to 95 pounds per wheel/tire.
