Time for new 37” tires. What tires are people happy with. Most of my driving is on the road, but I do plan to get more trail time in.
What is a good all around tire?
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

I went with a hybrid M/T-A/T tire
They offer 12 month road hazard as well as a 50k mile warranty.
I bought mine off E-Bay for just under $300 a tire.

I am running those currently on my Jeep, but had the size you want on my bronco raptor. I liked them quite well. fairly pricy but a good all around tire that's less noisy on the highway. The do well with ice too.

The KO2's are a really good tire. Quite on the road and great in the snow. I ended up going with Baja Boss AT's they are a pretty aggressive AT that I'm super happy with on the road.

I had the BFG KO2's on my 4th Gen for a long time (lots of hwy miles when communiting downtown every day) and liked them. When those needed replacing, I went with the BFG KM3's and still have those today. I like them for my DD, which sees a little bit of mild trail / dirt road time, but lots of hwy miles and snowy roads in winter. I have Maxis Razr MT's on my 1st Gen crawler and have liked them in the dirt, rocks, snow etc. and no complaints about hwy manners (although I think I went to heavy on them and will be going to a lighter tire when I replace them). A long time ago I had Toyo Open Country MTs ... IIRC I liked those too and know they have other types of hybrid designs now in that line.
Good luck with the hunt! Let us know what you ultimately go with and why.

I have the 35 inch KO2 on my truck and they ride nicely and work well in the snow. My JK is running 37 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers and only have 2k miles on them but they seem to ride nice on the road and do very well off road. Good luck.

Tires are really good these days so any name brand tire will make you happy. ATs are better in ice, lighter, and quiet. MTs are better in deep snow, tougher, but will cost you 1-2MPG over a similarly sized AT. The tweener tires depend on the tire as some are MT tread on a lighter AT carcass and others are more of an AT tread and compound on a heavier MT carcass.
I have a set (4) of new 37" Patagonia MTs I bought but never installed, will sell for $1400

I have Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 35's on my TJ. I took my Jeep over to WFO for an inspection today because I need to have them do some service work on it. Trevor, the owner, told me that he doesn't recommend the Baja Boss tires because they have a lot of rubber, are heavy and are know to cause death wobble when other tires won't.

I am also looking to replace the 37s on my Red Jeep. I spoke to Scott at Cloakworks and he recommended either Micky Thomas Baja Boss or Nitto Trial Grappler or Nitto Ridge Grappler. I will probable go with the Nittos but not sure which one yet, tending towards the off road Trail Grappler.

Well, I went with Nitro Trail Grapplers. They look awesome, can’t wait to take them on the trails.

Hopefully you will be able to try them out soon. I am considering those in 35 for my 2 door.

It's a commonly run tire in the club. Just ask those who have them. they are a standard MT like Yokohama's, Centennials, Toyo's, and Faulkin's.
