35” Tire Opinion

[PsyRN]

Went with 35x12.5 Ridge Grapplers on stock wheels after the OEM MTs wore out. Fit fine, no real issues.

Looks good but these are actually a 33 not 34.

Actually 33.9" if we're splitting hairs

I really like the look of the Baja Boss AT from what I’m reading. The only issue I’ve seen is that the 35 runs down to 34” once under weight. Worried they might look a bit small on a JT especially with the high JTR flares. Any thoughts? Anyone else running these on a JTR?

I have the Baja Boss AT in 35x12.5R17 on Method 703 w/ 0mm offset on a stock ride height JTR (with 1" teraflex leveling puck in the front). I have had them since July of 2022 and love them. They are a heavier tire, but pretty quiet, and grip has been great on and off road. Off road it does not do as well as a MT, which is to be expected, but in the snow they are phenomenal. Probably the second best tire I have had in the snow, behind a set of blizzaks I had on a previous vehicle. Personally I feel the size is right for a stock JTR, but here are some pictures to let you make your own judgement for what looks right.

I've had great luck with Nitto's. Had them on a Wrangler (both 33 and 35) and 35 on the Gladiator. They ride pretty well for an oversized tire and seem to wear evenly.

Pic on the driveway is just with wildpeak 35s. The picon level ground is after I installed the mopar lift. The front is about 1“ lower now after changing the bumper and adding a winch.

Got any other angles? Trying to decide between these (although the AT) and KO2's.

Sure. Hope this helps.

I've been looking at the Nitto Recon Grappler in 11.50 trying to keep weight down. Those Falken Wildpeak 35's are heavy.

^^^THIS!
I am looking into new tires as well and found out that the OEM Falkens weight 63#’s each! They are load range C.

I'm leaning towards a 285/75R17 in load range E which will be a 34” tire and the KO2’s in that spec are 61#’s. Lighter and stronger!

35*12.50*17 Falken Wildpeak AT'S are 76 lbs each. Recon Grappler same size 35*12.50*17 68 lbs, 64 lbs on the 11.50*17

35x11.5x17 Ridge Grapplers on stock rims. Made for 7.5” wide rims. Have 4K on them, great so far!

I really like the Nitto Ridge Grappler in 35x11.50 size. They aren’t much heavier than stock, 63.7 lbs vs 66.29 lbs. getting 17 mpg 75% city and can get 20-21 on highway.

WOW!! Look at the way people turn out for a tire thread! It's like everybody has a set installed!

I've been a big fan of the Toyo Open Country R/T. I have found, here in Arizona at least, that they don't chunk out as much as other tires on the sharp rocks we stock our trails with.

Like I said, big fan...33's, 35's, 37's:

I've said it probably 20 times already on here but my Baja Boss AT's are the best tire I have ever ran.
I thought the Flakens were good in the snow and ice til I got the Baja Boss. BIG difference.
