What are my options for a more aggressive 32" tire on the stock 18" Sahara wheels? I'm wanting to stick with the stock size for the mileage, but the car tires got to go.

 

A bit more agressive, and under 200 bucks each. Look for the tribal series. If money is no object, any of the 33 by 18's work well.

 

the best I could find was 285 65 18 bfgoodrich all terrain t/a
discounttire.com has em cheap..

There aren't any options if u keep the exact size..
or not as of like 3 weeks ago when I was looking.
I would love it if bfg made mt's in the stock sahara 18" wheel size

 

was thinking of going with the 285 65 18 but I have 3.73's and didn't want to re gear.

I really want to stick to the stock size wish BFG would come out with an MT too!

 

did a little homework and looks like there are only 2 sizes close to stock

Sahara Stock size
255/70R18 =32.06x10.04x18

MT tire options
285/65R18 =32.59x11.22x18

275/70R18 =33.16x10.83x18

is anyone running either of these two sizes? if so post some pics!

 

18's are tough and more expensive. It's why we sold our 18's and bought Rubi 17's. A little more $$ initially, but over the long haul it pays for itself.

 

I bought a Kumho AT 33" as a new spare after getting a flat. Not a bad AT. Like a tamer version of the BFG AT but a much better price.

 

I know some one on here has 35's on his sahara 18's. I think it was clackey but could be wrong

 

I ran 33's on my old TJ, with 3.73 gearing, on a 5 spd....and frankly, it was fine...didn't need to regear....a coupla hundred rpm difference on the tach, hardly worth worrying about...

And the stock tires on the TJ were 30's....the stock on the JK are 32's....

and the engine is stronger, etc....so going up an inch is way less than going up 3"....you probably will see more of a change going to a more aggressive tire with higher rolling resistance, than from the diameter alone.



MT's ALONE cost a few MPG over AT's.
