Blew out one of my stock tires (245/75R17 Michelin Defenders) and decided that was a good enough excuse to go ahead and upgrade the tires. Went with Falken Wildpeak A/TW3 285/75R17. Falken website says they're 33.9". Wanted a more aggressive look and to fill in the fender...definitely got what I was looking for. Got them mounted yesterday and they are AWESOME! No rubbing whatsoever on any of the plastics...however, I will be getting a relocation bracket for the spare....definitely rubbing on the bumper. Had to deflate to 20PSI to close the gate :)

Out of all the tires I've tested over the last several years, the Falken is probably the best A/T offering on the market. You'll be happy with those.

Stock tires look like racing slicks in comparison. Lol

Cool. What about offroad and flexed?
This is actually my first jeep. Trying to figure out the best way to get introduced to offroading

I had At3ws in 35 x12.5 x 15 on my JKU and they were the best AT tire I've ever driven. They are simply phenomenal

You’re money might have been better spent on the Anti- Spin since you’d have gotten A/T tires and a beefier axle for rough terrain, no?

I mean, the Falken tires look cool and everything, but to my way of thinking Anti-Spin is an absolute MUST on a Sport especially when you consider it’s a low dollar option for the substantial additional off-road performance you’ll gain.

Don’t hate for playing devil’s advocate.. I’m a happy Sport owner myself and I dumped the stock wheels for Rubicon take offs (because they look better), but I kept the stock Goodyear A/T rubber because I was very happy with their performance on and off road. Plus I happen to like the more subtle look than the Rubi KOs tires gave me.

I was looking for the height of the tire under load (ground up measurement on your Jeep). As you know the mfg specs are not under load.
Right at 33.5" @ 36PSI

either way I gaurentee the Wildpeak At3w will outperform KO's or any stock dealer rubber they give you. Unless you in a mud pit or doing real rock crawling, the AT3s are amazing tire. They're among the very best AT available
