New Tire Recommendation for Wrangler Moab

[WranglerHack]

Anyone recommend a good tire replacement for my Moab? I have 35k on the stock tires which I have not been happy with, VERY NOISY!! I do love the look of them, but as mentioned they are noisy and they have not worn particularly well. I don't do any off-roading, so it mostly road\highway, but live in the northeast so rain and snow come into play. Again love the look of the tire, so not against another mud tire, but is AT maybe the way to go? Any suggestions should fit the Moab stock setup, not looking to lift or anything like that.

Hey partner, if you’d have scrolled down a couple threads in the same sub forum you posted this in there’s a few very recent threads that already discuss this topic.

Morning - the "Moab Tire Upgrade" thread? I did read that one, thanks. Some of it was a little over my head, so I figured I would start a more dumbed down thread for myself haha. I get a little lost on the tire size differences and whatnot.

For your use I’d say hit up @Discount Tire and grab a set of Michelins then. They will gladly set you up with the right tire size and a road tire that hooks up great in rain or snow.

Yokohama X-AT, much quieter than any mud tire but pretty aggressive for an AT in both looks and tread pattern. We wheel too much to run all Terrains on the Jeep, but I run these on my rebel. For your use a more street tire would work, but in my opinion Wranglers look silly with street tires (sorry stock sport/Sahara owners).

BFG KO2's are a safe bet for you. They look good, wear well, and have a snow rating on most sizes. These tires are original equipment on the Rubicon trim wranglers. This is a bonus if you're looking to pick up a set cheap you could likely find some take off's local to you if you have the patience.

There are many solid tire options that would work well. The right model for you will depend on your full time needs in your next set of tires.

If you're seeing minimal time off-road, a highway tire may be the way to go. As Chuckque mentioned, the Defender LTX M/S is a solid option.

If you want to go with an all-terrain tire, the WildPeak A/T3W and Toyo Open Country A/T3 are popular considerations that tend to ride on the quieter side.

Falken Wildpeak AT3/W. m+S rated and were engineered for snow and cold weather performance. I’ve run KO2’s on 2 Jeeps and won’t go back to them. IMO they don’t handle as well in snow as many would have you believe.

If you don't do any off roading, I would steer clear of an all-terrain (or what I'd call an AT). I would suggest a nice highway (Crossover) tire with good wet and snow traction, since you're only using it on road with a need to use it in wet/snow conditions.

I like the Michelin brand, the LTX AT2 is somewhat aggressive. The Michelin Agilis CrossClimate has the 3PMSF.
BFG Advantage T/A Sport LT looks good.

I'd just do a search at DT or TR for crossover/SUV tires.

I run falken wildpeak A/T3Ws on my f150 and they are very very good in the snow and rain, even in 2WD. They also come with a pretty hefty warranty, I want to say it's something like 50-60k miles. OH and I forgot to mention, they are very quiet for an A/T, and still have a fairly aggressive look. Remember one thing you'll get with a good AT (or MT) tire will be sidewall lugs. These help a lot with getting more bite in deep snow and mud. You will not get this with any "street" all season tire. Plus it's a jeep, do you really want all season tires? Even if you don't offroad, you'll still be the one your family and neighbors ask to pull them out when they get their minivan stuck and that's when you'll really wish you had the AT tires.

Thanks! I will have a look at the wildpeaks. I like the more aggressive look of the AT/MT tires, just can't stand how loud these KM2's are!

I'll have a look at these, thanks for the suggestion! Agree on "street tires" haha

Thanks, appreciate the info. Seems like I have WildPeak mentions.

Seems like the WildPeaks are the leader in the clubhouse. Thanks for the feedback.
