[QUOTE="DTYJ94, post: 438667, member: 20722"] I have a 1994 2.5L with power steering. I took off the 31’s a few months ago and installed the smaller 29” tires (235/75/15). It was such a dramatic change in driving. The Jeep wants to go into 5th gear most of the time now. It rides and seems to handle better. It does great riding the trails on our land. The only downside is that it doesn’t look as good as it did because of my 2.5” lift. I’ll probably lower it one day. But, the smaller tires brought the 2.5l to life as expected and beyond. Cosmetics aside, major upgrade performance wise. Tires were have the price Goodyear Wrangler ATs than the BF Goodrich. I’d like to have both sizes honestly, but the 29” tires do very well for Street and riding in woods. [/QUOTE]
