Default Tires too big??

Hey guys, new member here. I have a 2005 Rubicon with 2 inches of lift and 29.5 Swamp Lites. I've heard from some people that these tires are too much for it, and some tell me they are just fine. Opinions? Thanks.

A clutch kit would be a big plus. But are the tires to big? What do you think? Does it pull hard enough for you? Thats what really matters. But if you want opinions, then yes they are way to big for ME. But its not my quad. If your happy with them, then they are fine. But things will wear more quickly. Bearings, tie rods, your arms from trying to turn them monsters. But if you like them, keep em.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Rubicon doesn't have a clutch? The transmission is a series of pumps. I was under the impression that it wasn't adjustable at all.

Interesting. Nothing I've ever read about the Rubicon has ever mentioned it having a traditional clutch. I guess now I'll have to do some more research. Thanks for the link.
