New here & Two questions

[JEEPCINEMA]

Hello All,

I’m new here, but not new to Jeep. I started with a CJ-7, then moved to a late 90’s, had some in between, and now I have a 2024 2-Door Sport soft top with only one option. The automatic. These new ones are way nicer than my old ones, but I still like the older ones better

I don’t do any major off roading. Usually, camping, fire roads, beach, and light rocks.

Questions:

I have the stock Sport wheels. I don’t know much about the proper size, but I would like to get a more off-road tire. About the same size. Will a 265/70/17 fit the stock wheels or should I stick with the244/75/17.

Any suggestions on which tires are better? KO2, General Grabber, Nitto, etc.

Finally, does anyone make a secure trunk for the 2-door while still being able to use the back seats? Or how do you all keep your stuff secure with the top down?

Thank you.

As for keeping my stuff secure with the top down, its not secure with the top up so I dont bother. I just dont keep stuff in the Jeep that Im not willing to replace tomorrow.

IMO the best/cheapest way to get a set of all terrain tires is to find a set of Rubicon wheels and tires for sale. You can use them to upgrade your sport wheels as well or just use the tires and then sell the Rubicon wheels.

I read this as in not fly away secure so you can drive with the peace of mind that your things won't blow out of the jeep while you're cruising.

Thats fair, also a problem Ive never had, neither in safari mode or with the top fully back. With it fully back the top covers the rear compartment fully anyway so no fear of things flying away. .

Not a bad idea.

Yes

 

[JEEPCINEMA]

Yes

Thank you.

LOL don't ever ask about the best tire. That's like 3rd place behind "which engine" and "which transmission" in the "questions you just don't ask on JLWranglerForums" ranking.

Though I will agree that picking up a set of Rubicon Takeoffs is a great place to start. Opinions on tires are varied and passionate here.

I bought Sport wheels and put on Rubicon-sized General Grabber ATxs on them and am happy so far! Thinking of going up in size though... feel free to reach out if you're interested in the tires (they have less than 5k miles on them)!

Here is a pic from when I got them (FWIW, mine's a Sahara though):
