2025 Jeep Wrangler Tire Picks

  • Jeep Wrangler tires are either all-season, all-terrain, or mud-terrain tires
  • Each trim has a set of standard tires designed for its purpose
  • When changing the tires, the factory tires’ diameter must be maintained
  • An XTREME 35-inch Tire Package is offered to go bigger

Jeep Wrangler tires are more than your typical SUV’s tires. Diameter is measured in inches, the tread blocks look aggressive, and the options are wild. However, it’s important to maintain the factory’s specified tire size and get the same OEM-spec tire brand. This guide covers those specs, and we can cover your tire-change needs at Lake Keowee CDJR.

After brand quality, the diameter is the most important factor behind tires for Jeep Wrangler SUVs. The XTREME 35-inch Tire Package, for example, includes multiple mechanical changes due to the larger 35-inch tire diameter.

Some Wrangler tires use the “light truck” (AKA “LT”) designations while others use the “passenger” (AKA “P”) label. Simply put – LT tires are more rugged off-road, while P tires are smoother on-road.


What's the Best Tire Brand for Jeep Wrangler Tire Changes?

What’s the Best Tire Brand for Jeep Wrangler Tire Changes?

The original OEM tire brand is the best choice for your new Jeep Wrangler tires. It can vary depending on the vehicle’s configuration details; our Jeep service department databases will have this info and show you suitable replacements.

As for combining Jeep Wrangler rims and tires, all tires are designed for a certain rim size. For example, “255/70SR18” means the tires can only fit on 18-inch wheels.

If you simply install new tires with a different diameter than the factory Jeep Wrangler tires, your speedometer will be off, your suspension will face extreme stress, and your steering system may be hazardously compromised. Our parts center can help you avoid this.

Upgrading to Jeep Wrangler Larger Tires

Upgrading to Jeep Wrangler Larger Tires

The best tires for Jeep Wrangler SUVs are often seen as the XTREME 35-inch Tire Package’s all-terrain tires, but the 31.5-inch standard tire size for Jeep Wrangler SUVs suits most drivers well. There are benefits and considerations to keep in mind for larger tire sizes – beyond needing larger tire covers for Jeep Wrangler tailgates – which can be summed up rather simply:

  • Pros: More capability on rough terrain, along with added style and ride height.
  • Cons: More road noise on pavement. More work may be needed to install the tires properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tires should I get for a Jeep Wrangler?

This depends entirely on your Wrangler SUV’s configuration and your desires. If you drive a Wrangler Rubicon and want to seriously level up your trail capabilities, go for the XTREME 35-inch Tire Package. If, instead, you have a Wrangler Sport and want more traction, get OEM-spec all-terrain tires with the same 31.5-inch diameter as the standard all-season tires.

What tires does the Jeep Wrangler come with?

Jeep Wrangler tires vary by trim. For example, the Wrangler Sport comes with 31.5-inch diameter all-season tires, the Willys comes with 32.7-inch mud-terrain tires, and the Rubicon has 32.7-inch all-terrains. As perhaps the most insane example, the Rubicon 392 comes standard with 35-inch all-terrain Jeep Wrangler tires. Tire brands vary, too.

How often should you change Jeep Wrangler tires?

Jeep Wrangler tires tend to have more intense traction than other, lesser-capable SUVs, and they may wear down slightly faster as a result. On most Jeep Wrangler tires, there will be a “wear bar” inside of the tread grooves. If the tread level is at the same height as this wear bar, then the tires urgently need to be changed.
