Upgrading Your Jeep Tires

33-Inch Tires (No Lift Needed on Rubicon)

If you have a Rubicon, 33s fit stock. Sport and Sahara owners need a 2" spacer lift. This is the easiest upgrade.

35-Inch Tires (2.5-3.5" Lift)

The most popular Jeep tire size — fills the wheel wells perfectly and gives serious trail capability.

Top picks: Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.50R17, BFGoodrich KM3 35x12.50R17, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT 35x12.50R17

37-Inch Tires (3.5-4"+ Lift)

For dedicated trail Jeeps. Requires flat fenders, extended bump stops, and possibly steering stabilizer upgrades.

Top picks: Nitto Trail Grappler 37x12.50R17, BFGoodrich KM3 37x12.50R17

AT vs MT for Jeeps: Our Take

If your Jeep sees 80% highway / 20% trail: Go all-terrain (KO2 or AT3W)

If your Jeep sees 50% trail or more: Go mud-terrain (KM3 or Trail Grappler)

Want both? The Nitto Ridge Grappler is the perfect hybrid — trail grip with daily comfort.
