I recommend staying under a 29.5 inch tire MAXIMUM if you want to stay stock. Any bigger than that you will have to re-gear and start cutting into things, the problems I ran into after buying my 2011 KK with 31" tires are: tire rubbing against the metal frame (body) of the car, and significantly heavier driving experience. Having 31" meats on a stock KK, pretty much kills it's capability. ALSO, you have to keep in mind that running bigger tires without re-gearing will eventually wear out your transmission prematurely. I am in the midst of downsizing my tires back to stock 29" 235/70/16 - It's a little bit of a challenge to find mud tires this size but its worth having a fully capable jeep that won't wear out prematurely. Keep on Jeepin! |

Cooper Discoverer A/T3 special order (via Walmart) in 225/75R16, 55,000 mile warranty I am VERY pleased with these tires - quiet on the highway, effective for my off-roading (rough and/or sandy back roads but not any true rock crawling) |
