35's instead of 33's - Need to Choose A Tire Please Help

[Mojave2021]

I've got Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep and am really glad I went that direction. I've hit much bigger stuff at high speeds with no issues.

I’m liking the 35” Ridge Grapplers so far too. Rides much nicer than my 33” Falken M/Ts but still has the aggressive M/T look.

The Falken Wildpeak R/T 01 would be a great option to consider. It is available in the 35X11.50R 17, Load range C. Popular choice!

How is the road noise with these? Have not considered them before but your post has me interested. Was looking at the KO2's but they are a bit out of my budget, these look like a nice alternative.

Do some research on the best price you can find online and then ask @Discount Tire to see if they can match. I did and saved $$ on the K02's!

are the Ko2's available with the 11.5 width? I could not find any that size, but that being said for some reason my brain struggles with the metric sizes. I know I want 35,s and would like 11.5 for a bit less weight, plus I like the look.

That I do not know but the tire and wheel combo I used with the 12.5s was almost the same as the stock wheel\tire combo. I am running the C rated.

I got close to the narrow look with the metric 35 KO2s (315/70/17) in E-rating, keeping them on the stock narrow Rubicon/Mojave width wheels. If you go C-rated and put them on a wider wheel, they will squat out wider like they do on the Wrangler XRs. Weight is nearly the same between E and C in this tire. The E has a stiffer ride, but I get a bit better steering response and confidence at interstate speeds.

Just got a set of 35x11.5r17 Toyo own country at 3’s. They ride great and site flush with the fender. This is with Mojave wheels also

at 3's?? Sorry I might be a bit slow, what does that mean?

@Crossbones55 forum members that have the Falken Wildpeak R/T 01 say it is surprisingly quiet for a hybrid type tread design. BFGoodrich currently does not make the 35X11.50R17 but the 315/70R17 is just slightly wider.

Just mounted last week. Measure around 33.75 at 32 psi.

I have the Falken R/T in the 35/11.5/17 purchased from Discount Tire. At this point I am not overly impressed. Measured height at best is 33.5. Struggling to figure out the right tire pressure. Installer had it at 41 psi it was like driving on basketballs. Road noise is better than the MT but not a lot. Disappointed!!!!!

Forgot to mention a vibration between 55 and 65 mph. I am thinking the balancing was half assed.
