Gilbert Smith
You can drive a Jeep just about anywhere, but depending on whether you’re off-roading, road-tripping or driving in the city, you want the best Jeep tires for the job. You wouldn’t wear your Italian loafers to the beach, and you wouldn’t wear your sandals to the track.

Best Tires for the Jeep
Touring: DISCOVERER S/T MAXX – $234.99/Tire
If you want a comfy ride and tight traction, you want a touring tire. And if you want the best touring tire for your Jeep, you want the on/off-road Discoverer S/T Maxx.
This tire is designed for work trucks to absorb the rockiest terrain and featuring stone-ejector ribs to keep from collecting gravel for a smoother ride. Users give it a 7.0 for comfort and an 8.6 for off-road.
Performance: MUD-TERRAIN T – $249.99/Tire
Performance tires are what you want for perfect traction when racing. Your options may be limited for street racing, but the Mud-Terrain T’s wide grooves help to prevent hydroplaning, and the Traction-Armor sidewall makes for a sturdy build.
This tire delivers 9.6 off-road performance and 8.7 wet performance according to users.
All-Terrain: DUELER A/T REVO 3 – $249.02/Tire
We know why you’re really here: All-terrain tires. Tires that can handle just about anything. For that, you want the Dueler A/T Revo 3.
Hefty shoulder design creates tight highway traction, and Bridgestone Traction Claw lets you keep your footing through mud and loose dirt. Users give it a 9.6 for off-road, 8.9 for wet, 8.1 for winter, and 9.2 for dry performance.
Winter/Snow: BLIZZAK LT – $220.75/Tire
If you deal with a lot of mud, snow, rain and wind in your neck of the woods, your Jeep needs some Winter/Snow tires. We present the Blizzak LT with wide outboard circumferential grooves designed to stomp right through thick slush and deep puddles.
One user reports the tires doing some serious climbing on a thousand-mile ski trip through Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.
People Also Ask…
Does the Jeep Come With a Spare Tire?
You’ll have to buy an OEM tire kit for this. Jeeps do not come with spare tires unless your trim level specifies that you get one. Automakers used to include spare tires in just about every vehicle, but this practice has fallen out of favor in recent years.
What’s the Recommended Tire Pressure for a Jeep?
36 psi to 37 psi for a typical Wrangler. But check the tire to make sure, or read your owner’s manual. Most Jeep Wranglers will come with stock tires with a recommended tire pressure of 36 to 37 pounds per square inch, but you want to be sure.
How Do You Reset the Tire Pressure Indicator on a Jeep?
Drive at 50 mph on the highway for 10 minutes. If that doesn’t work, find the TPMS reset button. This will be under your steering wheel. Hold that in. It’ll blink three times. Start the car and wait twenty minutes. As a last resort: Disconnect and reconnect the battery.
