Jeep Wrangler JL Tire help needed please B31D1005-3093-4598-B103-C73513B2BB36
I bought a 2019 JLUS. It came with 255 70 18 dueler h/t 685. I’m looking to replace the tires with something more aggressive for off road. It’s my wife’s daily so nothing crazy but thinking a better tire would be helpful. Won’t be lifting it anytime soon.

I read some good reviews on the KO2. Was looking for suggestions on what size tire to buy and if that would be a good choice tire. I saw that 275 65 18 would be the same size as mine but not sure if that’s a good choice. Here’s a link to what I got specifically. Thanks

Stay with a 33” tire or a 285/70/R17. The KO2’s are a great tire, I also like the Nitto Ridge Grappler, very quiet for a moderately aggressive tire

You can fit 275/70R18 without issues as that is a much more popular size and probably cheaper as well and can get almost any tire brand in that size.
Interesting that Sport came with 18” wheels, thought that was a Sahara thing... hmmm

Thanks. Something about the Altitude package. Suspension is supposedly upgraded as well. I’m just learning and searching

Will there be any clearance issues on the stock bumper? I’m also thinking of the KO2’s in 275 70 18....
