Question Help with tires??

Hello all!! I just purchased a 07 unlimited and am starting to look for new wheels and tires. I was wondering if someone could maybe recommend a tire for me that will be great for daily driving, off roading, and beach driving? I am looking to purchase 35's possibly 37's. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm assuming you bought it stock?

I'd suggest starting here

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/modified-tech-faq-answers-questions-every-newbie-has-18617/

with the Suspension/Wheels & Tires/Gears & Drivetrain etc.

Get an idea of what you are going to need to do before slapping on some 35" or especially 37" tires. Don't just assume you're going to bolt a 37 on and be happy with it...

If it is already lifted and geared, then ignore that, find some tires you like the looks of, and search/ask about them.

BF Goodrich KM2s. Far as I'm concerned they are the best hands down. Just my opinion. Love the look, they're not too loud, nice aggressive lug pattern, great on mud and rocks.
Toyos are great but way pricey. Just got 5 35" BFG KM2s for under $1000 brand new. Couldn't be happier with DISCOUNT TIRE!!!!

If you're getting tires go through Discount Tire. They have a forum discount and all the customer service guys rock!
