Trying to sort out my next set of tire and wheels on my Mojave.

[Bandit’s Lair]

Get what you want. I went back and forth with the tire place I went to as well. They tried to argue that the 37” Milestars wouldn’t fit with a Mopar 2” lift. I assured them they would easily fit. They went through their disclaimer thing saying they aren’t responsible if it rubs or any of that. Once they saw the Jeep they just said, “Oh”.

As long as you’ve done the research and you know what will fit on what ya got their job is to mount and balance them. That’s what you’re paying for. I think it’s mostly because they’re used to a customer base that walks in and says I need tires but I know nothing about tires so tell me what I need. When someone comes in with knowledge and experience they don’t like it.

Got any pics of the 37 MS, my tire guy was talking to me about them a week ago when I mentioned I’m looking for some new tires.

Those are a couple off the cuff. Just what I had in the files. I can get better ones if you need em. Just let me cool off for a while first.

This is my JTRD with only a 1” spacer in front for winch weight with 37 KO2’s from Discount Tire. It drove and rode great. Measured out about 35.5. I should have left it alone.

Perfect! Thanks for the reply. Just what I was looking for.

I have to ask, how do you like the ride, what are your wheel specs? Do you rub? Did you regear? If so, which gears? If not how does it do with 4.10?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, one other thing, why should you have left it alone? Do you not like the changes?

At the time, Mopar Bead lock wheels, 17x8 with 4.97 inch Backspace (12mm offset)
they only rubbed when I maxed out flex and only on plastic inner liners.
I have diesel and 3.73 gears at that time and it pulled just fine. The 3.6 may want more gear.

I say I should have left it alone at that point because it would have saved me a lot of work and money.

It evolved into this…

Looks like a lot of fun now. Thanks for the detailed answers, that is really helpful.

35ish x 11.5 x 17 Wildpeak 4 RT on TeraFlex Nomads with the built in air down valves! I did have the center caps and valves painted Mojave Orange but they look good out of the box. It is also using the AEV 2 inch spacer lift.

That is a sharp Gladiator. Can I ask what the tires measure mounted on your truck?


Thanks,

Jayman

I am really the Atturo tires but they ar 35x12.5

I'm happy with my Trail Blade X/T on road. They are hitting trails in 2 weeks. Hopefully nice results

I am interested in getting some larger tires and wheels on our Mojave. It is my daily driver. I do not want to switch our the 4.10 gears and I want to keep the shocks. I would like to use a spacer lift like the AEV.

I have a OBD Tuner (and the required cable) to dial in the tire diameter.

I would really like an actual 35" tire not a 35 inch tire in name only. I would like some all terrains and my wife wants it to "look tough". She likes the look of our 315 70R 17s on our Wrangler. That has some Raceline Wheels with -12 MM offset.

So I am open to suggestions. I am looking hard at Method Wheels for this build.

Thoughts?

Thank you,

Jay

My vote is go real aggressive and get some amazing MT's. Like Yokohama Geolander X-MT's.
But if you have to go AT's, Nittos, Mickeys and Falken do AT's most aggressive looking. The Mickeys would be my pick if I didn't love my X-MT'S

Those DO look aggressive. if i can find a pic or two of my Guard Dogs by Treadwright, You'll see a huge difference between what Looks aggressive and what actually works when you need it to... To be able to grip onto any surface at the same time as it self-cleans itself from being a caked on mess in your tires.
Two completely different jeeps, same tires.
They've never let me down. The worn out treads are Guard Dogs, the new name for the same tire is The Claw.

Caked on mess is why I don't like AT's. They look pretty good, almost reminds me of my Nitto Trail Grapplers. Only problem is my Nittos road like rocks, horrible daily driver tire. Tough to find a good balance, I have it now with my X-MT'S but it took 3 tries before I found it.

A/Ts are notorious for kicking up rocks in general. If I notice them on a vehicle in front of me I back off a bit extra to allow for debris. Goodyear Wrangler and BFG ATs have been the ones that have gotten me with chips/cracks in windshields.
