Tire help!
Hi, I plan on ordering new tires tonight and I need help on which ones to choose. I do light to moderate offroading and my jeep wrangler is my daily driver. My rims are 18 inch in diameter and are 8.5 width. I am looking for 35's. Thanks.

We just got 35" MTR Kevlars on my wife's jeep. Way better ride than the Procomp ATs they replaced.
Very quiet for an MT and smooth ride.
I have had them on my diesel ram for three years (37's) and they still have 50% tread left.
I love them

Space... the final front tire!
When you go to 35" tires, unless they are pizza cutters you'll have to take into consideration the necessary "back spacing". Typical back spacing needed for 12.5" wide 35" tires is 4.5". You mentioned your rims are 18 x 8.5 but didn't say what the back spacing is. Just checking...

I have a JKU w/ a 3" lift and it clears my 35's no problem. Only time I ever hear any rubbing is if I hit some whoops that really stuff the suspension when I come down
