What are the best tires for ice? I have a 2015 JKU Rubicon.

The best tire would be one you could stud or tire chains. I have not seen a tire that is good on ice. Best thing fo driving on ice is to stay home. The issue is not going but stopping

Yes, you'll want a dedicated ice tire that can studded if you plan on being on ice for a while. I have no personal recommendations but it seems the Blizzak tires get decent reviews.

Slow moving ones!

Studs or chains. If that isn't an option, consider the new stud-less snow tires.

I've always ran a set of BFG KM2's with full-face siping, year-round, and find that to be ideal for a 4-season region that gets quite a bit of serious winter on the mountain passes especially. But when it comes to ICE, as mentioned earlier, only studs or chains will provide the control you need. But yeah- best bet is to stay home! Even if you had tank tracks on, it's all the other people sliding around that will get ya.

I ran Blizzacks every winter when I lived in minnesota and they were awesome. That was 15 years ago and I would guess with the evolution of tires they are probably even better now.

Thanks for the replies. The biggest issue with chains is once the tires stop turning, you are just on skis. I do like the "stay home" advice.

Blizzaks are amazing. They use them for ice racing in the non studded class.

I have a couple friends that plow and they won't run anything besides BFG K/O's.

I noticed you're in GA though, when you guys get ice that far south stay home is the best advice lol

Yes, but I like being the only one that can/will got out in bad weather :-)


I like the look of the KO2s. They seem much more versatile than the KMs that came on my Rubicon.
