I would point you to the tirerack.com
Put in your size and look at reviews, I personally like a tire that is lightweight or at least the same weight as stock.

Ask AI for 5 questions you can answer to pick the best tires for your needs:


"looking for new tires for my 2019 wrangler rubicon. ask me 5 questions to get the best for my needs"



Nice — I’ll dial this in for you. The 2019 Wrangler Rubicon came stock with 285/70R17 (~33") tires on 17-inch wheels, but many owners move to 35" all-terrain tires depending on use and lift. (TireSize)

Before recommending specific tires, I want to understand how you actually use the Jeep. Answer these 5 quick questions:

1️⃣ What tire size are you planning to run?
Examples:

  • 33" (stock size)
  • 35"
  • 37"
This matters because different tires perform very differently at each size.

2️⃣ How much of your driving is highway vs off-road?
Approximate split:

  • 90% highway / 10% trail
  • 70% highway / 30% trail
  • 50/50
All-terrain tires are quieter and last longer on pavement, while mud-terrains grip better off-road but are louder. (Rough Country)

3️⃣ What terrain do you actually drive off-road?
Choose the closest:

  • Sand
  • Rocks
  • Mud
  • Forest / dirt trails
  • Snow / winter
  • Mostly overlanding / mild trails
4️⃣ What matters most to you?
Rank these if you can:

  • Quiet ride
  • Long tread life
  • Maximum off-road grip
  • Wet road safety
  • Aggressive look
  • Weight / MPG
5️⃣ Are you lifted or stock suspension?
Example:

  • Stock Rubicon suspension
  • Leveling kit
  • 2–3" lift
This affects what tires fit without rubbing and how they perform when flexing. (Quadratec.com)

Once you answer those, I’ll recommend 3–5 specific tires that match your setup (for example: KO3, Falken Wildpeak, Nitto Recon, Baja Boss, etc.) and explain why each fits your use case.

And if you want, I can also tell you which tires Jeep owners regret buying — that’s often just as useful.

I’m finding Toyos to be excellent tires. I stopped buying BFGs about a decade ago.
