Ok so this is not a question about the biggest tire i can run on a stock jk. I'm looking for more tire options for my jk. There does not seem to be a lot to Choose from in the stock tire size. I'm not lifting so I'm not looking for a bigger tire. I don't want to go down in size but I wouldn't mind going up in size a bit. Help a brotha out

 

17 or 16" rim?

 

From what I hear it is usually around a 285-75-xx or 285-70-xx.

 

Maxxis do tyres in 285/70/R17

I have the big horns and they measure in at about 33" and don't need a lift to run them.
They also made my speedo more accurate.

 

17 inch rim I'd like to keep it close to stock size. But am ok with a little bigger I do not want to run wheel spacers

 

How aggressive do you want the tread? Mud, Aggressive AT, Mild AT, Highway tread...?

 

Well it's a daily driver and will see good amount of snow so I would say At but open to others

 

285/75/xx I run them on my jeep without a lift everywhere but i did change the rims.. dont like the stock ones.

 

I personally recommend the Goodyear Silent Armor tire for your situation. It has two steel belts and one Kevlar belt, has the extreme snow/rain rating and is a good all around A/T tire for moderate off roading. And, of course, it is silent on the road. Check it out on the GY site or any of the rating/review sites. I had them on my '08 JKU and I'm about to put them on my 2012 JKU Sahara.

 

X2 on the Silent Armor in stock size. 285/70R17 will fit but can rub in tight turns and suspension flex without other small modifications. There are many posts about running 285's. The 285's have a larger selection such as Goodyear DuraTrac and Silent Armor, BFG AT KO's and Rugged Terrain, Dick Cepek Fun Country, Nitto Terra Grappler, etc. For highway and packed snow/ice a less aggressive tread with lots of siping will be ideal such as Silent Armor and Rugged Terrain. More aggressive AT's will do better in the loose stuff but you trade some highway life and get a little more noise but not as bad as mud tires. Sometimes a little extra tire noise can't even be heard over the wind noise created by our aerodynamic-as-a-brick vehicles.
