I’d look into the Kenda Klever RT610 in the size you want. I like their 35x10.5 R17 “pizza cutter” tires. It’s been great compared to Baja Boss AT’s (excellent tire) but much less expensive. I just paid $1574 with them balanced. I’ll install them myself due to a couple of incidents with shops leaving loose lug nuts or breaking studs with too much torque. They’re quiet and I’ve had no issues in moderate trails.

while not the cheapest tires I sure love my Mickey Thompson baja boss at's 255/85-17 they are aggressive looking yet quite on the road. absolute perfect fit for stock wheels and taller than most 35's. some don't like the skinny look but if you don't mind it look at a set of those. spend once cry once.

You’re a mall crawler if you go with anything less than a 42x15r17 stt pros.

You can run them with stock gears and get better mileage!

You don’t even need a lift, just grind some pinch seems!

Send pics when installed.

I don't need new tires just yet, but I was looking around last night at a few options. I'm currently running the stock 255/70/R18s. Just got new 9" wide wheels vs the 7.5" OEM ones so I'd like to go with a wider tire when I get new ones.

According to the online calculator, 275/65/R18s are an equal diameter so they won't affect the gearing/speedo.

My current tires have raised black outlined letters, but I'd REALLY like solid white letters like the BFG K02s, but after M&B, tax, etc that's $1500 for a set of tires! Seems like a lot of $$$ just to get the 'look', but I don't see many options. I've found a few others I like, but when I input the sizes, for some reason in the larger sizes the manufacturers switch to black letters.

I haven't had RWL tires since my '86 Camaro's BFG Radial T/As and damn I miss that look!

Anyone have recommendations for other solid RWL tires?

This is the only other solid white letter tire I know of right now. A little less than the BFGs.

I saw the General Grabbers, but they are quite pricey as well.

I found these late yesterday and they seem to fit the bill (solid letters/affordable) assuming they are a decent tire.

Cooper Discoverer ATP II $228.00 in the 275/65/R18 size at Discount Tire.

Thoughts on these from you guys?

Falken Wildpeaks are a good option. Ran those on both my previous JK's. Still running the stock KO's that came on my 22 JLUR but when they need to be replaced I will switch to the Falkens.

Looks like a good tire. That particular tire is a Discount Tire only version, as it's not on the Cooper website. Make sure to avoid load range E.

What do you want, and aggressive AT, or mud tires? The more aggressive the tread, the louder the tire and usually it wears quicker.

Yeah, most of the suggestions in this thread are not what OP is asking for. If he has KO2s and wants something more aggressive, it's pretty much only the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in all terrains. Otherwise, he needs to move to a mud terrain tire, or maybe one of the hybrid tires like the Ridge Grappler or Open Country R/T Trail.

Yeah, for the OP I like the Open Country RT Trail. It's about as agressive as an AT gets, and even more aggressive than some so called MTs.
