Tires! Need help quick!

seanb33 · Apr 24, 2013

So I ordered a set of 35/12.5r17 bfg km2 but apparently the wait on a set of km2's is 6 weeks.... My lift will be coming Monday and I need to choose a new tire. I have a daily driven 2012 jku sport, id like to go wheeling more but I usually go about once a month. The shop I ordered from suggested the bfg all terrain, what are your thoughts on these tires in 35"? Would you suggest anything else that looks a little meatier but has good road manners? T

Thanks,
Sean

Do you need them right away? You can always run on your lift until the tires come in :twocents:

I personally run the 35s bfg at. I like them. They are quite and the wheeling i do they stick good. The only thing I haven't tried them on is rock. Hard to come across them in the south. I would recomend them.

What's the tread life on those? I have been looking at them and I like the way they look

Most here will suggest looking at the Nitto Trail Grapplers, I know its that or the Mud Grapplers I will be getting.

Do you have a picture you can post of how they look on your jeep? Thanks

I think its in the 35-40k range, could be more.

Yea, I figure nitto will be suggested most on here. Trail grapplers look good

I have Toyo Open Country M/T's in that size. Quiet, great iffroad, and they'll last forever

Possible. 3.5" lift on stock 31's will look goofy and I'll probably hate waiting the 6 weeks for them, I've already been waiting 3 weeks

Check out Goodyear duratracs. I think they look really good if that's what you're going for. Very reasonably priced too.

I suppose a bonus is how well they are taking care of me in this Alaskan terrain!!

How's the wear? The Goodyear wranglers on the stock jk's didn't last me very long at all...

Can't speak to that. I've only had them for about a month. I did put about 5k miles on them in that month and they still look new lol

Take a look at Falken tires. I went from 35" KM2's to 35" Falken Rocky Mountain ATS and I love them. They've held their own in mud, rocks, and everything else I've thrown at them so far. I had bad balancing issues with my KM2's. wasn't pleased at all with BFG.

the toyos are nice as well, a bit heavier though if i am not mistaken. the nitto TG and KM2 are gonna wear very similar to eachother. i am running KM2 and i like them. my only complaint is i have a few small chunks out of the tread.
