The new Kumho Road Venture MT71 is a nice tire. I run their KL71 tires on my JTR, and they are great. almost 5,000 miles and still look brand damn new. I got mine from @Discount TireLooking for tire suggestions. Working a deal on a new Gator Rubicon and a PO Gobi Rubicon, and hoping I end up with one in the drive. Looking at doing 17x8.5 Icon wheels (TBD) and 37x12.5 tires (2" Mopar Lift). Hoping to keep the unsprung weight down as much as you can on something that size. What does everyone recommend as the best daily driver MT/hybrid. Have run Toyo's, BFGs, and Nittos before, but nothing this big. Appreciate any feedback.
They make them in a 35x12.50r17... Only $277 a tire!

Also, with your Rubicon it has the 4.10 gears, and 4:1 transfer case. With the 4.10 gears, with a Tazer recalibration to 37" tires, and adding an iDrive throttle control unit set to U-7, you will NEVER notice that you're running 37" tires with stock gears. And when offroading, the 4:1 transfer case really helps with the 37" tires to not feel under-geared.
This is my personal experience with a JTR on 37's with stock gears over the last [nearly] 5,000 miles. I lifted and added 37's when my truck had around 250 miles on it. So, pretty much it's entire life.
