Default Help me decide on tires please

I'm looking for a true 35 for my 2.5 aev lift. I wanted to use stock rubicon wheels and I just added the wheel spacers. Tires I'm very much considering are the Toyo open country Rt or possible Mt . Goodyear Duratracks or Goodyear Mtr. What are the true measurements ?

The problem with the Toyo is town fair tire is the main source for them . I really can't price shop for them. Discount tire doesn't carry them. Price is not my main concern , but always good to know lol


Thanks for any help!

It depends what you plan on using your jeep for.

I got my toyo RTs from townfair tire I showed them a link to 4wd.com who had the lowest price with free shipping and they gave me a price match no questions asked. This is after driving on cooper st maxx for 2 weeks and decided I didn't like them. They took the tires back same thing no questions asked. I love the RTs just came back from Raush Creek and they did perfect. Not to mention 45k mile warranty

Like they said, it really depends on what you're planning on using your Jeep for. I ran the Goodyear Duratracs in 315/75R16 and I loved them; they're quiet and ride like an A/T tire, but they look aggressive like an M/T tire. They tend to run a little on the smaller side when measured though (closer to 34.6"). I'm currently running 35x12.50R17 Goodyear MT/R's and I've been impressed so far. They're a lot less noisy than I thought they would be, they get great traction, and I love the tread pattern on them. They measure out to about 34.8". I have no first hand experience with Toyo tires, but their reputation speaks for itself. Good luck in your search!

+1 on the Duratracs. I love the tires in the snow, great bite, so with you in NH winters you might want to take a good look at them. I'm running 285's now but with go with 315's when these wear out

Duratrac 275/70-18 here. Currently 47,653 miles on them love them, still plenty of tread and no loss in performance.

I rotate every 3000 miles in the 5 tire rotation pattern.

Will replace with exact same tire whenever these are done...

Another vote for the duratracts. Awesome in the snow. I don't do the rock climbing thing but for general driving, camping, over landing they are great. I'll get them again when these wore out.

toyo at 2's when you get them in a 35 they go to the "extreme" or something like that. The lug pattern is the same just more void, is what I have been told. Anyway, 50,000 mile warranty, quite, and out here in montana they haven't let me down in any season (as long as I aired down for snow).
