Tires for Jeep Wrangler Sport Login/Join

I need new tires before winter for my 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I don't do much off-roading, but when I do, it seems like there is at least a couple of feet of wet snow on the ground. So I would like something that's good on the streets and highways but that can also get me around the orchard in the snow.

I usually buy from Discount Tire. I looked at Toyo Open Country A/T II but they said those are no longer available but they can get the OC A/T III. Otherwise, it looks like I may go with Goodyear Wrangler Trail Runner A/T.

I was hoping some members here have experience with one or the other of these, or could recommend something better.

By the way, tire size is 225/75R-15.

Look at 235/75/15, more popular, more choices & almost the same size. ~2% larger, less than the variation between brands/models. It won't affect your speedo much, if it noticeable at all.

Falken Wildpeak AT3w

These will be my next Jeep tires. I linked the size suggested above.

I don’t have a Jeep, but on my old F150 I loved Cooper AT3s. I will buy them again for my new truck when I need new tires. Also, most of their tires are made in the USA. I also like this BF Goodrich KO2’s but they are a bit more aggressive.

These are the tires that came with my new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

In 8000+ miles so far I like them.

BF Goodrich K02 A/Ts are the go-to tire around here (and what I run). Great off-road, great in snow, and pretty darn quiet on the road considering their aggressiveness.

Whatever you do, don't get a M/T tire. They are designed to "float" on mud, so think about what they would do in snow.

Just a thought...

I do not have a Jeep, but am hard looking...

Facebook market place, yes I know, everyone hates it... FB Market place often, very often has folks buying Jeeps, and lifting them, putting on bigger tires etc.

At least weekly I see wheels and tires in almost brand new, to barley used condition being sold for a steal off of Jeeps.

You may consider looking there.

We may need to talk.

^^ If that one doesn't work out.

When I had my F150, I was between the BFG KO2 for an A/T tire, or Michelin LTX for a highway tire.

Sold the truck before making a decision.

I’m normally a BFG guy but the last set of ATs on my 2500 were not too good. They would pac with snow and become useless...couldn’t even back up my drive in 4 wheel.

My new Gladiator came with Falken Wildpeak MTs and I was/am impressed with them.

So much so that, when I upsized to 37s, I got the same tire.

So I’d go with the Falken ATs if I was you...

Thanks to a Sig Forum thread I went with Falken Wildpeaks on my Honda Ridgeline and am well satisfied. Amazon had the best deal about a year ago.

BFG KO2 is a just a great tire.

I’ve got the KM2 on my JKU Recon but would definitely mount the KO2 if I wanted an all-around AT tire. It’s been around forever and is very hard to beat.

Another vote for BFG KO2. Can’t say how they are in snow but on everything else, on and off road, they’re great.

This is what I have on my 2010 2 dr Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD. Different size though after a lift kit and different wheels. The Goodyears that were on my Jeep were useless in snow.

I’ll be the second to say that the K02’s are pretty awesome. I haven’t been disappointed in them. They have done me really well.

Goodyear Wrangler Authority, 31x10.50x15 sold by Wal-Mart. On my second set on my 2005 LJ, which came with 30x9.50x15 originally. My speedometer is actually more accurate with the 31s. I got 65K miles out of the first set. They aren't that loud on road, and pull good off road, as long as you aren't in sticky, pudding-type mud. I have an automatic with 3.73 gears, so if you have 3.08s, you may want 235/75R15s instead. Good luck.

I ordered a set of Cooper At3 4s. Made in america and direct competition to those POS over at goodyear. They have the 3 peak snow rating but dont look super aggressive.

Cant go wrong with Falken wildpeak at3 either.

I have heard nothing but great things about contential terraincontact AT too.

Doublesharp - How do the tires feel on the open road? I've had nothing but Michelins on my Ridgeline and am very happy with them. However, I need new tires.....
