I am about to buy a Jeep and will need to replace the tires. Currently it has 35x12.5R17's on it. I think they are BF Goodrich. Do the Jeep gods of the OT have any they prefer. This will be my weekend vehicle so it won't be making long hauls or anything. It will be used mainly on roads and very minimal off road use- for now.

Thanks in advance

What are you looking to do with it? Trails or all on road?

Also, what type of Jeep?

I figure it is a wrangler as well, no many people have a weekend patriot. Also wondering what type of wrangler.

Have heard good things about the KM2's
Looking at some Terra Grapplers myself, currently running BFG TA/KO's.

No complaints about what I have, just debating moving to 37's and don't like the look of those particular All Terrains.

I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet with as much as you peddle it here.

Still say the TJ was the best Jeep made.

Wait until the next model has some shitty independent front suspension, JK's and TJ's will be collectible.

I have Maxxis Treapdors (35x12.5r17) on my JK. For a M/T they are fairly quiet and handle the road well.
