Tire Suggestions

[JEEPCINEMA]

Hello All,

Any suggestions on off road tires that are also good on pavement? I guess not as loud on the road. Also, not super heavy.

I don’t do any heavy off roading. Light trails and fire roads. I would like to get to my long distance camp sights with some quiet(er) tires, but still good off road.

Thank you.

Terrific tire, light for size, 3 peak, Toyo AT3 . The lightest 3 peak found in 35/12.50 at 59 lbs. very pleased with them. Chosen over MT BB because they were ~10 lbs heavier. (KO2 ~5 lbs)

I’ve noticed a lot of praise for the Toyo. Thank you.

Another vote for Toyo AT3. I have 10k on mine. Smooth and quiet on road and do well on trails and rocks (I've only tried easy to medium so far).

I kind of like the BF Goodrich KO2 all terrain tires. Had them on my 1997 TJ, 2012 JK in 315/70 load range E and 2022 JL in 315/70 load range C. I personally don’t think they are noisy and offer ample off road traction for the mild off roading I do. I hated the BFG Mud Terrains that were on my 2021 Willys and since I bought it to use as a winter vehicle primarily on street, I swapped them for 255/75 Michelin Defenders; quieter and better handling. A friend that off roads his 2018 JL with us runs the same tire in 295/70 loader range E size and they work well.

Swapped from 255/80R17 Falken AT3W's to 34x10.50 Toyo AT3 and couldn't be happier. They stick to everything and ride better.

Toyos on mine. Smooth at any speed.

Any suggestions on off road tires...I don’t do any heavy off roading.

-You can save weight by going with a "pizza cutter". There are multiple threads. It is what I did. These fit nicely inside the fenders. 35X10.5 Kenda Klevers

They are great Offroad. They got me up "The Wall" on Poughkeepsie Gulch when I had the correct line:




Seems you want offroad tires, but you say you don't do heavy off-roading. I went with the RT's (rough terrain) instead of the MT's (mud) or AT's (all terrain).

There will be a compromise no matter what you choose. You just need to figure out what is the MOST important to you.

-I do NOT care about road noise...it's a JP

-I wanted them to do well in MOST offroad situations. I HATE mud so no MT's for me

-I wanted them to be respectable in snow...did not want/need 3-peak snow tires. I live in NW Iowa and get a bit of snow and ice. I am still happy with these.

-Wanted good sidewalls I have sliced one before.

You just need to decide your most important Wants & Needs! GL with your search.

That depends. What size tire are you looking for?

I do like the pizza cutters. They seem to drive a little better than the wide tires.
