damn it you and kajo just cost me $1600+ dollars, you order yours online or locally?

my local Discount Tire shop beat all the local out the door prices. They even beat the forum discount tire team by $200.

Just an FYI, I bought mine through Discount Tire. I worked with Matt, the Discount Tire rep here for the order and had the install done at the Martinsburg, WV location.

2020 Mojave
37” BFG KO2 “C”
No lift
Tazer Mini
love them!

avg mpg 17.4 combined
70-80mph highway in 8th gear around Atlanta no problem. The Jeep feels more responsive than when I had the 35x11.5 Nitto Trail Grappler.

I am a little late to the party but in your opinion, do you think the Mojave loses front travel with the 37s? I go on the beach 2-3 times a week in the summer and I am worried about losing travel in the sand

Here is my new 22 gladiator 3.6 with a 2” Mopar lift. First pic is with 35” tires. After they installed them I went ahead and upgraded to 37”. Wheels are icon rebound 17” -6 offset. Hope this helps someone.

those looks fantastic. Just curious, how was your vehicle more responsive with a larger tire?. Thanks

I have no lift. Stock gearing. Mojave.
I went with the BFG KOIIs in 285/75R17.

I feel they’re perfect for a sort of “stock plus” look. Plenty of fender room for travel, no detectable impact on acceleration or fuel economy over the 285/70R17s it came with.

I would assume so, however I have not experienced any issues during simple trail rides.

likely the lighter weight and tread pattern. The handling and acceleration both still feel better than the 35” MT.

37k02s no lift, no rubbing. I’m not urged to regear at all yet it’s been fine to drive. I have a 2.5in Clayton overland plus sitting in the basement just waiting to go on.

Hey, @Jglad15, what are your wheels/offset? Do you have a side view showing how much poke you've got on those? Thx!

I did the same, even before the lift. Started with 35's, got home and kept looking at it like something just wasn't right. Called DT, they swapped me out for 37's and I couldn't be happier with the choice.

Yeah even my 14yo daughter was like "You should have went 37's dad".

How's yours geared? Happy with it?

I'm 4.10 with the 6MT. I will regear later this year after I pay off all my current upgrades. It's drivable for sure, no major complaints except having to downshift to 4th on interstate hills...

I don't care that I lost 6th gear, the ratios are so close 6th never made a difference on my MPG on my JL I had for 4 years.

Sorry for the delay forgot to respond last night. They are method 701s 17x9, -12 offset, 4.60 back spacing I believe. Def poke out a bit more but me personally I like poke. I just like the look of it more vs tucked in or even with the flare.

Thanks!

Mine are using the factory wheels with ZERO poke... I'm beginning to think it needs a little for that "aggressive" look. With no poke I feel like it just looks tall and skinny.
