Jeep Wheels & Tires

Tires are the single biggest change you can make to how a Jeep looks and how it drives — and the easiest one to get wrong. Too big for the lift and it rubs. Wrong backspacing and it rubs somewhere else, or throws the steering geometry out. Too heavy for the gearing and the Jeep goes soft.

We would rather have the fitment conversation for ten minutes than have you back here disappointed.

• Lift height — and whether the kit included the bump stops it should have
• Backspacing and offset — how far the tire sits out, which decides whether it hits the control arm or the fender
• Wheel width against the tire's actual section width
• Turning and flex — it clears standing still and hits at full lock, which is when people find out
• Load range — a heavy Jeep with a bumper, winch and armor is not riding on the same tire a stock one is
• Spare carrier — the factory carrier has a limit, and 37s usually find it

Most people want a mud tire and should buy an all-terrain. Here is the honest breakdown:

All-terrain. Quiet, long-wearing, fine in Texas mud and rain, and what the vast majority of Jeeps should be on. BFGoodrich, Falken, Toyo, Goodyear.

Hybrid. The middle ground — aggressive look, most of the on-road manners. Nitto Ridge Grappler and similar. This is where a lot of our customers land once we talk it through.

Mud-terrain. Genuinely better in deep mud and rock, noticeably louder on the highway, wears faster, and worse in the rain. Buy it if you actually wheel. Fury, Nitto Trail Grappler.

If your Jeep is a daily driver that sees a trail four times a year, we will tell you that.

Wheels — Method, KMC, Fuel, Black Rhino, American Racing, Hostile, KG1, American Force, JTX and Vossen.

Tires — BFGoodrich, Nitto, Toyo, Falken, Goodyear, Fury, Yokohama, Continental and Pirelli.
