80TH ANNIVERSARY Edition JL Club Thread

What size tires? Any lift?

275/70/18 with no lift or spacers. I saw others on a different thread go up to 285/70/18 but there’s potential of rubbing then.

I'm thinking the 275s too, thanks

ive gone with the Nitto ridge grapplers twice now and love them, their design makes them look wider than other tires of the same size and they are quieter than the stock Bridgestones

love it! I just sold the stock tires for 100 each, don’t recycle them!

My next question, did you sell them to an individual or business?

I sold them on Facebook marketplace within an hour of posting. Granted they only had a few miles on them since I replaced the tires at purchase, probably could have listed them for a higher price. But I did sell my 2019 Wrangler stock Bridgestone tires with 5k miles on them for 50 a piece.

Question, did you drive it long enough with the stock tires to notice if the bigger tires hit your performance any?

 

[Billkowski]

Had it for a couple of weeks now. Just getting around to taking some pics.

Looks like we got the same one except the color, love the yellow. I was looking at a Sport S Yellow when I found this 80th. Did you add the mudflaps or did the dealer? Thinking about at least adding the front ones.

I added the mud guards and tube steps myself. I was originally looking at a Sport S also but really wanted the color matched fenders. I was glad to see the 80th Ann. Edition come out.

I actually drove the car from the dealer straight to Discount Tire so it was just a few miles, no noticeable difference though. The tire size difference isn’t significant, it does affect the speedometer slightly - It’s off by 2 mph when driving 65 mph.

I did change my 2019 JL stock tires after driving for 6 months and it didn’t result in any noticeable performance issues either other than reducing gas mileage a bit. And that change in tire size was more significant than what I’ve done with my 2021 JL. All that to say you shouldn’t really notice any change going from 255 to 275. There’s also a few threads on this forum that are pretty informative with people that know this topic well.

Just bought this off the lot 2 days ago.

I ordered my 2021 80th Anniversary on Oct 2nd and picked up at the dealership on December 9th. I got every option packages available. I used Tread Lightly for the 1% below invoice. Picked up for 43K

Got my Grapplers, I like'em!
