It’s always interesting and also helpful to see what different tires people like to run on their Jeep for different purposes and even different terrain. What are some of your top choices that you’ve ran?
I’ve ran multiple tires and sizes throughout my Jeeps build stages. I wheel primarily on the east coast with a West Coast trip every other year or so.
My Jeep is also dual purpose, so road manners are important too.
-32x11.50r15 Goodyear MTR’s (2 sets)
-35x12.50r15 Goodyear MTR’s (2 sets)
-35x12.50r15 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3’s
-37x13.50r17 Toyo Open Country MT’s
-40x13.50r17 Toyo Open Country MT’s
-40x13.50r17 Nitto Trail Grapplers
-40x13.50r17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss.
Out of all of the ones I’ve ran, the top on my list is the Baja Boss with the Nitto Trail Grappler as a second. Both tires have done very well on road and off, but the Mickey has been superior in my case off-road. The Nitto was great in everything except anything loose, which is a common situation on the east coast.
The Baja Bosses however have been great in every terrain I’ve thrown at them from dry rocks, wet rocks, sloppy mud, loose dirt, you name it, they work.
Third would’ve probably been the Goodyear MTR’s. They always impressed me with how well they did. Road manners were good, but they always seemed to need rebalanced. I did puncture one sidewall on a brand new 35 too, so I ended up to the MTZ’s which I only ran a month or so before going tons, so I don’t have a really good opinion of them.
