Keep Stock Tire Size?

You can also look at 275/70/17s (32.1”).

This…. I run 275/70/17s Falken Wildpeak A/T3W C Rating tires. This is a great size and excellent tire combo…. They can be run on your stock 7.5” wide Rims, or as I do on 9” wide Rims.

I have a 2022 Willys 2 door 8 speed automatic with oem LT255/75R17C Firestone Destination Mud Terrains. The overall top gear ratio is 3.45. It does well on low end and at the higher highway speeds. I will replace with KO2s when needed. I want LT tires in the load range C. I will used as a DD and overland trips. I might jump up next size but to not want to lift.

Check your overall top gear ratio. It can be adjusted through rear differential gear swap to your liking if you change your tire size.

Yes, the ratios can be changed. Current rates for parts and labor will run about $2k, depending on what part of the country you live in.

In my opinion, 3.45s should have only been put in models with the base tire size and an automatic. The minimum should have been 3.73 with a 6 speed or with 32s. Every trim should have a box to check for an optional 4.10, as the Rubicon does for the optional 4.88. At least they got rid of the 3.21s that many non Rubicon JKs had.
