Help me find the right tires

[Rushed]

Rig info:

2021 Willys (3.73 gearing)
Stock Willys 17" Rims
1.5in TF leveling on front 0.75in Rear
Rubicon Springs take offs
Mopar lower control arms from their 2" lift

Driving application:

Daily driver around town, frequent use of limited access roads, Desire to get into more overlanding adventures than anything really. Driving conditions are a LOT of flat/rolling hills speed limit blacktop is 55, and interstate 65 here.

Concerns:

I think AT tires would be a better fit than MT's for me.
I don't want the expense of regearing


What are you guys running? How do you like them? Looking for recommendations

Falken AT3W fits you well

Falken AT3W fits you well

Second that opinion

 

[PuddleJumper]

Falken AT3/4W, Kenda Klever RT, GoodYear Territory MT, ANY Cooper Discoverer, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss. And the max i'd run on your set up is 315/70r17 or 35x10.50-12.50r17.

I have a 21 Willy's and I put 285-70-17 on and no regearing is needed. I have had, Firestone mt, BFG KO2 and Kenda Klever RT. I am now getting Cooper discover Rough Terrain tires in standard load. They are reported to ride well, are great in snow and mud and last a long time.

I think these are a great value. And being c -rated, they will ride well on the Gladiator

I'm switching to Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T Hybrid and just ordered the LT255/85R17 as my winter tire here in Minnesota after reading good reviews here on the forum. I'm through with my Falken AT3W's that have more than half their life left as they were terrible in slush and ice here. I have Falken Rubitrek's on Beadlock wheels that I run in the summer towing my camper, but I don't run them in the winter being 35's and 12.7 wide not to mention the salt corrosion on Beadlocks.

I just bought mickey thompson baja boss at's and so far iam happy with them. I have a mostly stock rubicon but mine is just a truck and not my "rig" and Iam definitely not the boss of any bajas.

Goodyear Ultraterrain. Its a Discount Tire exclusive. I've had them for 65k miles and they've been great. Price is pretty good too.

There is a 285/70/17 size for $277/each or 35x12.50x17 for $317.00/each.

Anything A/T with the 3PMSF rating in the 285/70/17 would probably work well and handle snow that you get in the midwest well too. I just ordered a set of Nokian Outpost nAT I'm about to put on.

Hybrid terrain tire ?

I ran K02's on my previous Jeep and they did fine on extensive off roading and were super quiet on extremely long drives to get to that off roading. Did not put them in the mud, though.

I have the Falken ATW3s or whatever they are called on my Gladiator. I got them used. They were already worn a little wonky on the shoulders so they are kinda loud now. They're a little heavy, too. When I replace them I am leaning to the K03.

Hybrid terrain tire ?

Discount Tire calls it an AT. They were pretty quiet most of their life. Started to make a little hum after 60k or so miles.

Hybrid terrain tire ?

There is a youtube video with Mickey Thompson's Ben Anderson explaining the two hybrid tire aspects (Baja Boss A/T or Baha Legend Exp? Mickey Thompson Hybrid A/T Tire Showdown!)
