      American Jeeper I chose BFGoodrich KO2 285/70-17 and new wheels with -12. They fit nicely and give the Jeep a more aggressive look/stance. I coupled that with a 1.5” leveling kit to give a bit more space in the wheel well.

So I kinda had to sort of reset my search, not knowing if the two had no differences, some differences or was it a new beast. Looks like for it’s falling under the some differences department. Your channel and reviews are confirming this fact. Plus you have some cool builds and projects that are giving me some ideas. I appreciate what your doing for the newbs like me and the community.

    I have on order, a 2019 Rubicon. Dealership saying no problem to switch out standard 33in KO2s for 35in KO2s. I have had good history with KO2s (265 75 16R on Tacoma TRD Pro). Snow/Ice is concern. Do not consider myself a rock climber type, more overland and every day road use. The driveway road up and down to house is 1600ft with two tight switchbacks, ditches and drop offs, single lane paved, includes a 20% grade. When exploring WNC, like to turn down some testy backroads. Some of said to get lift, if so I would chose the 2in Mopar lift before delivery for warranty, would rather not, but would if any problems expected with 35in. Some saying I'm stupid to go from Toyota dependability to Jeep, but enchanted with equipment.

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  5 років тому +1

      fiftyfishbottom That is pretty nice that your dealership will switch those out for you. Based on what you’re describing I think those tires will be perfect. The Mopar lift is treating most people right I believe, but there of been a few issues with springs. For what you get I don’t think it’s a bad way to go. I will be testing a new lift out on the channel here in the next few weeks. Mine will be a 3.5 inch, but there will be a 2.5 inch version that might work for you if you end up needing to lift. Sounds like you have some fun spots to wheel in, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Toyotas are great; I had a 4runner back in the day and enjoyed the heck out of it. There is something special about the jeep though

      Funny how one begins to think, wanted cement grey Tacoma, accepted white. Ordered a Sting Gray Rubicon. I am a bit older than many I see in videos, but not dead yet (did 12k nm. offshore alone, Atlantic some years ago). The overlanding sparks me a bit when need some spark. Done enough camping in jungles to satisfy that part of it. Interested in what I see in Jeep groups, seems some good people seeking adventure. As kid, grew up hunting/driving through swamps with father in Central Florida. My father a Ford Dealer, we used a Bronco (1967) with big tires, and winch used often.

    I bought a set of Mammoth wheels for JL Rubicon, and will be getting mudders before spring. I can than offroad without scratching factory wheels and just use mudders for offroading. I bought same size as stock. (17") I see many tire brands offer a 35" tire on 17" wheel. Thoughts?? I do not want to lift just yet, but would like the clearance I could get with 35" tires.

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  5 років тому

      chris deckard good thinking on running two sets. Most 35” tires should work without too much rubbing, but it depends on actual tire width and wheel offset.

  • @johnbrockjr9464
    @johnbrockjr9464 5 років тому +1

    Math with a 2" lift and the difference between 35" & 37" tires is only 3" in total. You only gain 1 inch in total height for every 2 inches in tire size withe the 2 tires being supported from the center a 37 has 1" on the bottom and 1" on the top but the inch on the top doesn't help your overall lift this is helpful when considering with the extra weight of each tire can be 5 to 10 lbs depending on the manufacturer you could be adding 40lbs to the vehicles overall weight plus the extra wear on stock components for only a 1 inch increase in clearance.

    • @AmericanJeeper

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  5 років тому

      Hi Marc, thank you for watching and appreciate the compliment! I have actually been blown away by these tires. I have run BFG and Goodyear, and never really considered Firestone, but the reviews were great. They are super quiet and have excellent road manners. It’s almost like an on-road AT that has the performance of a mud tire off toad. I haven’t had a ton of snow but they have siped lugs and handled very well in the snow that we have had. I would compare them most closely to the BFG KM2. These have the edge in dry conditions and the KM2 (and would assume the KM3) have a little edge in wet conditions. These tires are a much better price, so that’s a win. I just wish they made a 13.5” wide 37....

      Marc Comaratta my pleasure! I am averaging 16-18 mpg now, sometimes less on long highway trips at 70+ mph. The cool thing is you can go 70 mph - in a Jeep! With the 37’s you rarely see 8th gear and it fights between 6th and 7th at highway speed. Other than that is it very responsive, smooth, and plenty quick.

    Just watched it and helpful. But to verify I am looking at a set of 31 inch falken wildpeaks AT3W for my jl unlimited sport model, with that being said I dont plan on lifting it anytime soon, So would 31 inch tires fit without having to do any sort of trimming or lifting? As well as my buddy at work whos a tech said my jeep would do a 33 inch without lift or trimming. But I dont want to push it too much. I plan to use my jeep mainly for driving on the shore at my local beach and occasionally doing rock climbing or off roading in the mountains.

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  5 років тому

      Quint Flores there are a lot of people running 33” tires with no issues on JL Sports with no lift. It really depends on backspacing and how much your Jeep is loaded down, but I would go with 33’s. I believe you would actually be going down in size-you might double check the diameter of tires your JL came with but as far as I am aware the Sports come with tires just shy of 32” from factory.

      Roman Rodriguez you should be good with that lift, so long as your tires are 12.5” wide or narrower. Regear may be necessary, but it’s really a feel as much as anything.

      Brian Goldstein hybrid or all terrains are a good move if you won’t be doing anything too serious. I like that size, right around 33” or so. The best advice I can give outside of the video would be to see a Jeep that is running what size you want in person. If you like it, you’ll know you have a winner. Far too many get one tire size then bump up later because they want more. For that size of tire you may want a small spacer lift

    I have 37 12:50 inch mud terrain coopers on my 2018 Rubicon JL 2.0 turbo. After I calibrated the speedometer it goes into 8th gear fine on flat ground. I also did not have to get a tire carrier for the 37 inch spare. The only thing I had to do was take off the cover that protects the camera so it would fit. I mean really what is going to hit the camera in the middle of that tire? LOL After 3 months so far I am having no problems with the stock tire carrier. But in the next 4 months I do plan on getting the poison spider rear tire carrier and bumper just in case.

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  5 років тому

      Fit Pro great point and I am glad you found something that works for you. Coopers seem to get very positive reviews. The carrier is good insurance in case you come down off of an obstacle and catch the tire. How are you liking the turbo?

    • @stormw777
      @stormw777 5 років тому +1

      I love the turbo. It kinda feels like a snappy electric car. Very quick, but powerful and the 37s don't even feel heavy at all.

      @AmericanJeeper  5 років тому

      Fit Pro that’s good info. I haven’t driven one yet, but I am likely getting a second JL (2 door this time) and thought I would consider it. I have a few turbocharged cars now and they have done well.

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  4 роки тому +1

      Thank you for watching. You will likely have rubbing but that depends on the lift, wheel offset, and if you are going off road or staying on pavement. What axles and gearing are you running? Those two things may be the real issue.

    • @AmericanJeeper
      @AmericanJeeper  4 роки тому +1

      For 37’s you will likely want a minimum 4.10 gear ratio and Dana M220 option that comes with the Rubi and some Saharas and Sports as an option. Your Sahara probably has 3.45 gearing which will make it tough to run 37’s.

      Thatcher Tagle if you go with 11.5” or narrower tires, you should be okay. If you do wide tires you will need wheel spacers and you still could be a small spacer lift to avoid rubbing. If you don’t take it off road you should be okay.

      Teddy Vargas I can’t speak for Jeep, but I don’t believe they would have a leg to stand on trying to void your warranty with 35” tires on a Rubicon. I can see some dealers not being cooperative if they don’t do the install, but my thoughts are surely you would have the support of Jeep if it came down to it. It’s always best to talk to your dealer and get a feel for how cooperative they are. Some are great and others not so much
