It’s that tempting first upgrade for most JK owners. Your first-ever tire choice and it can be a fairly daunting task to pick the right one. A mud terrain isn't perfect for every situation, just as an all-terrain isn't perfect either. It comes down to a compromise on what you want to do, what you expect to do, and what you'll really do with your JK. Let’s take a quick look into mud tires and all-terrain tires.

Read the rest on the JK-Forum homepage.

 

I personally would go with a nice AT tire if my JK was a DD. I only went with the MT because I dont have to drive daily and when I do go off-road Im usually alone, so I wanted the toughest tire I could get. I get off road for camping twice a year, so maybe I should have just went with an AT and saved some cash. Really wish I could afford to have 2 sets of tires.

 

MT's just make a Jeep look so tough. I wouldn't put AT's on mine.

 

Go with duratrac AT tire. Very aggressive look and great in snow, mud, sand, everywhere!!!!

 

Don't think he is actually asking. Just linking you to an article on the homepage. Isn't this the same guy posting other articles on here?

Might be a lot more useful to introduce yourself and offer a brief comment as to what the purpose is.

 

I've run BFG MT's, Cepek MT's and went with a set of Falken Rocky Mountain AT's. I love them. Super smooth and quiet on the road and I have yet to have a single issue with them offroad. Air them down to 10psi and they stick like glue.

 

Except to mud. I had a set. Worst mud tires I've ever owned. Maybe they should call them a "most terrain" tire instead of an all terrain tire.

 

I went with Duratracs. If you are asking the question, these give you the best of all around. Great on road conditions, quiet at speed, decent off road, aggressive look.

 

^^^^^ lol

 

You might want to define what kind of terrain you plan to drive on since there's no one-type-fits-all tire.


My Jeep is my DD and weekend outdoor rig.

Here in WA we have everything from snow/ice to dirt/mud. Since I do not intentionally drive over mud pits but sometimes have to go over mud puddles and I also drive on snow and ice (intentionally) I went with a 35in BFG AT tire set that I only install when going offroad.

For DD I kept the original GY ATs and also got a set of BFG MTs. Both sets are the original 32in sizes that provide a good compromise between performance and fuel economy. The 35in set drops the mileage around 3mpg in the city.


So far there's been nothing I could not go through. When the GY ATs wear out I'll likely sell the rims and keep the two BFG sets.
