Tire Upgrade

sungho · Jun 8, 2023

Hello Jeep World. To give some context, I'm a college student who drives a Sahara TJ with a 2in left and 31s and is currently in need of some new tires. I'm busy with school and a new job so I probably get the car dirty maybe 1-2 times a month if I'm lucky. I also use my Jeep to currently commute on the highway for around 20min 5 days per week. My local tire shop has given me the options below. Any opinions? I know you all have some.

Options
- Ko2 - Around 1402
- Falken Wildpeak - 1092
- Toyos AT - 1109
- None of these at all??

(Prices include all 4 tires and warranty)

- A.

I hate the falkens, I love the Toyos, and KO2 I’m indifferent. I vote Toyo. They are the easiest balancing tire I’ve ever had and the price is good. I’m actually surprised wildpeaks are cheaper.

Just got KO2s about 1k miles ago. Very happy so far, and good reputation. Check out the General Grabber ATX. That's what I had for my last set and really liked them.

Rode great, quiet, no complaints offroad. Only moved away because they don't make the size I'd planned to move up to.

Ive owned a bunch of the KO2’s on trucks and thought they were great. No experience with the other two . I bet any of them would be fine and if price was important I’d go for the Wildpeaks

KO2s are good, my buddy has them and has no complaints. I have Wildpeaks and love them, work great for me offroad and are quiet on the highway.

Falken Wildpeak A/Ts all day long! They are quiet on the road, have superior wet traction on pavement & have been great off road for me so far. My son went to them when supply line issues made the BFG KO2s unavailable at the time for his F-150 & he says he will never go back.

The top 2 are my favorite All Terrains from experience, but I have heard great things about the Toyos, too. I don't think you will be disappointed with any of those choices.

That said, I'd get the Falkens or Toyos, on price alone. All 3 are very highly regarded All Terrains, so I see no reason to pay an extra 400 for the BFGs.

I bought 4 used BFGs 31 inch, for 500$ from some random dude on Facebook marketplace. He ran them for like 5K miles, so they are pretty much new.
I would not buy 4 new tires given that you don’t make crazy milage

I've had several BFG ATs, great all around tire. No experience with the other 2.

JustDandee · Jun 9, 2023

i would count this a statistical outlier but we pulled 65k miles out of a set if BFG on our F-150- I never get that kind of mileage- but good to hear people are seeing some good competitive products from other brands- recently bought a full set of 5 BFG's for the jeep and I think it should have come with a tube if vaseline

but I pay because I have never been disappointed with there AT in Idaho on/off road conditions.
