As I have posted before I know less than nothing about tires, tire sizes, offsets etc....I recently leased a 2021 Gladiator Sport S. As I don’t mind the look of the stock wheels I do mind the stock tires. I am looking for a more aggressive look without breaking the bank and having to make any other modifications but the tires. Looking for advice on tire brand and what would be the most aggressive looking size. Gladiator will be mostly used for everyday driving and some light off roading. Thanks in advance

BT911 I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers on our JL and JT. I think they look aggressive and they are quiet on the highway. I am not sure about breaking the bank. Bigger tires are expensive. If you are not going too big, the price should be reasonable. When I was doing research on tires, I looked all over the parking lots for Jeeps and Gladiators. All terrains are better for streets. Mud Tires are loud! Good luck!

Have you had BFG KO2's or what can you compare the Ridge Grapplers to? No complaints out of my KO2's I had on my JK but don't have anything to compare them to. Like the look of the Ridge Grapplers though. Worried about the added weight per tire over the KO2.

I had BFG KO 's many years ago, so could not compare. You do notice the bigger heavier tires. I went from a 33" x 11.5" to a 35" x 12.5", 63# to 75#. However, it is only for a few days and then the different feeling accelerating and stopping becomes the new normal if that makes sense. I was a little concerned about MPG. I would say minimal except above 70mph. I do notice a tougher time getting into 8th. The look is well worth the loss of a few MPG while on the highway.
