Default Tires

Hi all. Which way would you go to replace to stock Goodyear Wrangler SA on my 2018 JKU? I don’t do any off roading. Firestone Destination AT2 or Continental Terrain Contact AT

Thanks in advance for the feedback

I personally would choose Goodyear durâtes cover both of those. I've put duratracs on my Jku and jk and have been very happy with the look and performance.

The duratracs are quiet. I put 50,000 miles on them with my JKU, including long trips on the highway. On my JK I've put just about 10,000 miles on a set so far.

Your northern location will push us to recommend tires that are good in the snow. Duratracs get high marks, BFG ko2's do really well (really quiet too), you may check into the Hankook Dynapro ATM's to see if they suit your needs as well as the Falken Wildpeak ATW3.

I will 2nd karls10jk's option of the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. I've been running them on my old WK and now on my JKU. Solid tire that is great in all weather conditions. Price is hard to beat too.
I am running a version of these, Falken Wildpeak AT Trail, on my wife's 2015 Grand Cherokee. Great traction this winter. Both have the severe snow rating

I too have heard good things about the wildpeaks. Here's a picture of my duratracs. I just think they look so nice when they get a little dirt on the treads.

Hey Chuck, My two cents. I have a 2015 JK Sport completely unmodified and used as a daily driver. My original Wrangler tires are ready to go. After a lot of time spent researching tires , I have also picked the Contis Terrain Contact tires. For all around driving, paved and unpaved roads which I sometimes use. the Contis have had the best reviews. Ok, good luck and stay safe.

I have a set of Duratracs on the way, hopefully be here today or tomorrow, will let you know what I think about them.
almost 62k miles on the original SRA tires with rotating in the spare, it’s time for new casings
