Thanks . I will say that going from Mud Terrain to All Terrain made a huge difference both in ride quality and noise reduction.Thanks for the info, sharp looking Jeep!

Also, I think the steering is tighter.Thanks for the info, sharp looking Jeep!
I love it. I was very meticulous in my research and was determined to go with a C-load tire. These are much quieter and smoother than the MT2s (mostly because hybrid vs. MT) and it seems that I've only lost about 1 MPG. After 5300 miles on this, the best I've gotten with either tire is 19...but I didn't buy it for that and would have been happy even if it gave me 12. No rubbing in everyday driving, but the Willys has the higher suspension from the Rubi...just not the high fenders. The most endangered piece due to the upsize is that front aero piece that everyone usually removes.Good looking Jeep, I’ve been mulling going to the 285/75, does it ride any different, any rubbing with the bigger 285/75 size vs rubicon size of 285/70?
Everywhere i've read, people are satisfied with their performance in the snow. i'm in NH and have the same plan for my willys which has been sitting in MA for 9 days.Has anyone used the Firestone tires in the winter? Just wondering how they do, I‘m in Maine so we get a serious winter.
I should be picking my Jeep up within a week and I plan on doing a small 2” lift and putting 33” tires on, but was going to wait until Spring. If the stock tires suck I might need to move my plans up to ASAP.

well then, we should both get some good news soon!I feel like ours are probably hanging out together, mine supposedly got there Wed. My dealer said it takes about a week to go that last 3 1/2 hours.
I can imagine it’s quite different,Thanks . I will say that going from Mud Terrain to All Terrain made a huge difference both in ride quality and noise reduction.
Thanks for the follow up, would love to hear the report once your make it to some more moderate trails off-road to test it out.I love it.

As far as off road performance goes, I haven't taken it on any serious wheeling trips since the new rubber, and the road to get to this campground would be considered easy-moderate (I'm very hesitant to say moderate, we saw an AWD CR-V there).
The Badge of Honor trails are really my goal. For me this tire upgrade in combination with me having a 2-door will probably get me through most, if not all of them with a good spotter. Good news for me because it means I can spend money on the creature comforts for camping and wheeling now .
not sure if yours is with mine in MA but my dealer reached out this morning. ETA was updated to 10/23 - 11/6. Was formerly 10/14 - 10/28. He said it's taking really long from his experience and he's not sure what the hold up is. ha. more waiting!I feel like ours are probably hanging out together, mine supposedly got there Wed.

ROCK ON! Enjoy it.My Salesman just let me know ours is in! Hopefully this means yours will be in sooner rather than later.
Congratulations! Wouldn’t mind hearing/seeing how the small lift and tire upgrade goes. I am planning to do some mods along those lines as well but not sure if I want to go 285/75 or 285/70 with Rubicon coils for a little added lift.Just picked mine up from Yukon Oklahoma! 2021 Jeep Willys Sport 4 Door! Plan on putting a Teraflex 1 inch puck lift and changing the tires to 285/75's or 295/70's. Had a 2015 Tank Willys 2dr. The new 4cylinder Turbo is way more snappier!
