I stuck with the factory rubicon wheels (rubicon wheels for my sahara, and 4xe rubicon wheels for my 4xe) because i have yet to see anything lighter, and i like them.
in terms of tires, the lightest 35’s are going to be the C rated KO2’s. I went with the Falken wildpeaks AT3W as i think they are just a little better in the snow & rain. The issue with the AT3W’s though, is that they do not offer them in a C rated version. To help keep the weight down, help with traction in the snow, and finally to help with rubbing in the fenders, i went with 285/75r17 tire size. These are the same height as the 35” KO2’s, but not quite as wide.
there are lots of good tire options out there, but most were pretty heavy. Here were MY decision criteria (everyone will have a different situation and list & order of criteria)
Winter rated / severe weather rating (the mountain snowflake symbol on the tires)
Rain traction (this is the area where i saw a noticeable improvement over my KO2s)
Good reviews
Light weight
Despite being an AT, i have found them to be very quiet. (The KO2s are pretty quiet as well)
