    Suggestions for a good set of OffRoad/OnRoad Tires for Jeep JK Rubicon

    Arklatex is our resident Tire Expert so hopefully he'll chime in. Its time for me to replace my tires on my Jeep Wrangler Rubi. The factory tires are BF Goodrich Mud Terrain Tires that were pretty damn good but we drive the jeep on the road as much as off road. We got 40k miles on the original factory tires.

    Any suggestions for a good hybrid on road/off road tire?

    These are some of the best all terrains you can get. Made in Texarkana:

    http://us.coopertire.com/Tires/Light...ERER-A-T3.aspx

    Very good on the road and long lasting while still giving you damn good traction off road. You can always get more extreme off road type tires but they wear out a lot faster if you spend more time on pavement...

    Here are some other options: http://us.coopertire.com/Tires/Light-Truck.aspx

    Not sure if my discount will work for you but tell me what size you want and I'll see. I can also take a look at what off brand tires we make are the same thing with a different name cooked into the sidewall. You can save lots of money that way.

    Sweet looking tire, I'm going to do some research and may get back to Ark! Meanwhile, I'm fixing' to get some adult beverages down my gullet this evening.

    Hey Ark .... I am driving the last vehicle left from liquidating my former business. I bought it new ... a 2010 F-150 4 wheel drive crew cab. I have 62k on it and still running the Good Year Wranglers that was put on it when I bought it. I am still legal for about another 5k.

    My local dealer is trying to get me to go Toyo ..... what do you think/suggest? I run 295/65/18 on/off tires. A tire for my truck doesn't come cheap so I want to get the mileage out of them while being able to navigate wet dirt roads.

    What's my move?

    Maybe you aught to head up my way. I know my discount works in person at the factory direct shop in Texarkana. Those Goodyear wranglers are also a great choice, I had a set on my tacoma and they were excellent.

    Slippy, for off-road and on road driving, the gold standard are BF Goodrich All-Terrains. They are the best, hands down. However, they are also probably the most expensive. I have also heard good things about Nitto Trail Grapplers.

    Thanks Sparky, the dealership closest to me said the same thing. Good tires ain't cheap.
