Default Looking for tire suggestions on my 2017 JKU Sport S

Need some new tires on my JKU. It’s stock, no lift and is my every day driver. Also commonly drive on the beach in the summer. The stock tires are 255/75/r17 bf Goodrich A/Ts. I want a more aggressive look. Should I stay same size and just get a mud terrain tread to look better or go bigger tire size?10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 hotmail.com

Like most men. I love tires! Anything new (respectfully) is nice. It’s the second half life I try to incorporate in my decision making. Owning multiple vehicle with KMs, Duratracs, Michelins, etc. My current go to has me very impressed. The recent redesign of the Cooper Discoverer AT3. Available in three levels of need. (I am not a salesman!) one by one they are replacing the other brands on my 2012 JKU, 1993 YJ, 1989 K5 Blazer, 2016 Dodge 2500 diesel (trailering horses), and by next year a Yukon.

each vehicle feels to have better start traction, corner handling, and grip when braking. Nope. It’s not a 10 ply rock crawler tire. But a balance in daily driver that looks and performs quite impressively, for my needs and opinion, both on and off-road. The specs and reviews will help with your comparative decision. Best of luck. Pls be sure and let us know how thgs turned out.

I tried out a set of the Falken Wildpeak AT3s on my '05 WK last year and really liked them a lot. They have a little more aggressive sidewall and nicely siped lugs. I had them on for about a year without issue through the 4 seasons here in Nebraska. They were reasonably priced as well. I plan on picking up a set for my new purchase.

Duratrac are very nice. Had them on my 2012 for 50k. They get noisy after 40k. They look aggressive enough for me and do great in rain and snow

I just bought a set of 5 - ProComp 315 70 17 AT Sport, 60k warranty. I'm very impressed with them so far. They look aggressive. I got a deal from 4WheelParts buy 4 get one free and 25% off the 5th tire. They're still have the 25% sale on now. It took a while (weeks) to decide on these tires and I pulled the trigger when that President's Day sale came on.

Staying with the same size of going to a larger size depends on what look your are wanting for your Jeep. PM headed your way.
