You guys probably saw my thread about car tires, long story short nobody makes rear tire that's equivalent to the 25 / 10 /12 we have stock. Even with a 14" rim.
So I went with a tire I'm familiar with long tread wear. The Sedona rip saw.
Got this kit on eBay mounted balanced shipped for 796$
14x6 up front and 14x8 rear
25/8/14 and 25/10/14 rear
And Heck the rubicon acquired some new wheels. Just had to use 2" spacers for the rear
If anyone wants specific pictures let me know I'd be happy to help someone choose the right wheel/tire they need!

Looks great! I'm go to buy Ripsaws soon for my stock rims, but am leaning toward the same size tire on all 4 so I can rotate them. Do you notice any power loss because of the weight? I'm leaning toward 25x10x12 all the way around, but the steering might by noticeable harder. Might look silly with 25x8x12 because they're narrow. Decisions - decisions lol

If your going to the group ride next month, I will have 2-27x9x12 Journey tires mounted of stock front wheels. This should give you an idea on what they look like.

I almost pulled the trigger on some firestone winterforce that match 25 8 14 but I didn't want to put that skinny of a tire on the rear.
But I do not notice any difference in power, I really don't think they weigh any more than the stock steel wheels weigh
