How To Choose Tires For Your Jeep Wrangler JL - 31 vs 33 vs 35 vs 37 vs 40

[@jacobboeser]

I think 35' is going to be the highest optimal level for the vast majority of jeep owners for a real all-rounder tire to take 99% of trails while still remaining viable on-road. 37s and 40s I feel are for hardcore enthusiasts. Nothing wrong with that, but I think the majority of jeep owners don't really need anything higher than a 35'

[@husker_nation]

My thoughts exactly!

[@davidarbelaez4395]

I'm running 38" Nitto Trail Grapplers on my 2019 manual Rubicon. I have a 2" lift and regeared to 4:88. Chromolly axel splines as well as trusses. I live in Colorado so the rocks here require some clearance. I'm very happy with my set up.

I just bought a lifted jeep gladiator with 37's and the turn radius is terrible, been thinking about going to 33's or 35's video helped alot, thanks

[@EricTheOld]

Is it lifted and do you know the gear ratio? From the factory mine didn't have a great turning radius because of the length compared to my 04 TJ Wrangler I traded. I would have kept my Wrangler but the frame rusted and broke in a few places but I'm not looking back because of the bed function. I have 37's and a lift but my turning radius hasn't changed. I hope that helps

Digging the white wheels. Looks like I remember the 80s.

[@danielphillipsmusic9145]

I’ve been happy with my 285/75r17s on my 16 manual Rubi. If I ever regear I might go up to 37s, but for now these seem to be the ideal all around tire size for 4:10s and a stick for a Jeep that has to daily.

[@dirf554]

Been wanting a Jeep for years and finally got one this past September!! I’ve been reading and researching and I think a 2” spring lift and true 33” tires are the perfect match! Cooper STT Pro as well they are amazing tires

[@FourLowAdventures]

I've done a 2.5" lift and true 33"s on my Aus spec JL Rubicon and it works great but be aware there was a noticeable drop in torque over the stock 255 / 75 /R17's and fuel consumption has been increased about 30%. If you get wheels have a look at the Icons with the innerlock system they're amazing, I ran all day yesterday at 10PSI.

[@scootypuffjr.]

Will it pull 8th on 80mph+ freeway with a headwind, or is starting to get really picky on where it grabs 8th? I'm thinking I90 across South Dakota. Always a cross/ headwind headed west and lucky to get 14mpg in a stock Wrangler in those conditions.

[@richardmiller1256]

Used to run the trails with a guy who had a JLU on 37s. Stock sport with a 2" spacer lift. He took the fenders off completely and put stubby bumpers on it to give clearance. Somehow that thing did just fine. His problem was constant water crossings with that 3.6 liter. The aluminum couldn't handle constantly heating up and flash cooling. Cracked the block twice. Insurance covered it the first time. Crazy that the engine went before axle and suspension parts.

[@onebridge7231]

I found that my 38” Nitto Ridge Grapplers were the sweet spot on my Gladiator Rubicon with 3.5” Clayton Overland lift kit. Gives me about an inch or two clearance on 7 ft garage limits. So home and airport garages are still doable. I’d live 40’s, but would no longer fit in garages without dumping air pressure.

[@BillyBennecke]

For me, it's getting a breakover angle on the long gladiator wheel base. I was turtling on small whoops. Luckily I was able to back off. But adding 2.5 lift with 37" BFG KO2s on a Gladiator Mojave, I got 28.5° and haven't been stuck since.

[@gullable]

I just put 295/70/R17's on my Gladiator Sport S. Perfect for mostly road, sometimes not. Also looks better and a bit taller than standard "33"'s, or 285's that come with Rubicons etc. No upgrades, works with stock setup. I mounted them on Nomad Convoy 17x8.5 wheels with +25 backspacing. For comparison, stock 17x7.5 Mopar wheels have +45 backspacing - because they like the tire under the fender. +25 puts the tires almost level with the fenders (not too far out), and adds some turning radius. I love the look. It's also better for the Jeep than wheels with negative backspacing.

From my experience with JTs I think the sweet spot is 37 & a 3.5 lift. I’m running 39s & 4.5 lift and it’s a little sweeter.🙂

You didn't mention axle ratios as you get to 35" and 37" tires. Also mention the relation to tire outside diameter to wheel diameter. Having more tire to wheel helps until it gets too great then tire/wheel spin contact a t low pressure is a factor in non-fastened whel/tire assemblies.

[@kevinvoyer5053]

Yea you’re gonna want tires over 34” if you spend more time off than on road. If you’re a commuter and spend at least 70-80% of driving time on the highway, a taller tire will have a detrimental effect on highway and city mileage, not to mention speedometer errors. I recently bought a new 2024 Gladiator Sport S, we bought for our daily driver for my wife and I who are both retired now. So we don’t need to go off road much at all, but like the style, comfort and adventure capabilities we might never need. So the 245/57-17 Bridgestone Dueler tires are fine, very quiet and ride very well, all while returning the best overall mileage and on road traction, especially in heavy rain. That we get often in Central Florida.

[@joshuamendoza4745]

I have a 2012 JKUR and when I put my 37's on I had a 2.5" Rock Krawler lift and it rubbed in the back. I had to cut/trim/hammer the pinch welds and even that wasn't enough to stop from rubbing on the stock bumper. I've put on longer Rock Krawler springs and haven't had any issues yet.

[@BigSkyWebsiteDevelopment]

Great video, guys! Yet one more opinion: The curve of associated expenses really does rise exponentially as tire size increases. 33's or 35's will get you to 90% of the places you want to go, assuming your driving skill rises to the occasion. I run 37's and they are utterly amazing offroad but make most conditions quite easy, maybe too much so? And I have to drive like I'm wearing ballerina slippers on stock axles to avoid breakage. So is the answer 1-tons ($$$$$)? Or smaller tire and try harder? Depends, but either is an equally valid AND ENJOYABLE path.

JL D44s are about 43% stronger than the JK one based on thickness and length. The longer the axle, the stronger it is. But they do have a major weak point = the FAD area. That's why you want to RCVs it with a three piece RCV or get rid of the FAD and get two-piece chromolies.

@@KTMcaptain he'd have to be real careful about watching for wear, tho, and he absolutely religious about tire rotation. Lots of people on the JL forums say they run a that wide of a tire with no issues, others experience lots of wear. Some shops will even refuse to mount a 315 on a 7.5" wide rim. I thought long and hard on this one when I upgraded my tire, and I ended up going with a 35x11.5x17" tire. Nitto makes a ridge grappler and trail grappler in that size, and Toyo makes the open country AT3 in that size as well. The jeep looks amazing, the tire is lighter than a 12.5" wide tire, and I 100% won't have issues with premature wear.

I think the information at 5:56 is incorrect. A 315/70/R17 would be about 35" diameter, but would be a ~12.5" width, a big difference than the 11-11.5" width stated here. A stock Sport or Willys with stock wheels shouldn't have a problem running a 35/11.50/R17 tire, but as stated, the wider 12.50" wire is likely going to need spacers to avoid rubbing, or at the very least a wider negative offset wheel. I've been researching into this a lot myself since I have a 23' JLU Willys, and I want to keep my stock wheels, but go to 35" tires. I found that 35"x11.50" should be fine, except under a heavy flex there may be some rubbing. I'm personally looking at the Falken Wildpeak AT4W in 35x11.50R17

[@CesarPerezn]

What about for a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 2018?

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Might I ask how you recommend tire rotation for the 35" and 37" size tires? [1] A simple front to rear and rear to front move or [2] X the fronts to the rear and a simple rear to front move. Many Thanks!

Corner to corner. Left front to right rear and vice versa
