A lot of people are wondering if you can fit 35″ tires on a stock 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon. The answer is please don’t. Maybe if you are a 100% mall-crawler and you live in Kansas or another state where the biggest bump in the road is an old soda can, but if you intend to ever wheel your 2018 Jeep Wrangler or even hop a curb or even drive over some bumpy snow, you need clearance, and putting 35″ tires with no lift on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler will take every last centimeter of clearance that you have. It will also put unnecessary torque on suspension components and possibly create some unsafe situations for you and your passengers. The video below was shot by John Capa and he put the new 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (which comes stock with 33″ tires) into flex mode and as you will see, when the suspension is compressed there’s barely enough room for his hand to glide above the tires.

Something that took me a while to learn was cool looking Jeeps aren’t always capable Jeeps and a capable Jeep is the coolest looking Jeep there is. Once you’ve driven a capable Jeep, you start to spot the “cool looking/no performance” Jeeps from a mile away and you feel bad for that person because you know that’s where you used to be. When building your 2018 Jeep Wrangler try and think ahead to the future – where you want to go – and what you need to get there. Talk to some experts and choose your parts wisely. You will be so glad that you did.

Here’s a very in-depth look at how the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Radial Tires have lasted on a Jeep Wrangler. This Jeep owner is primarily an on-road driver but he believes with his driving habits he will hit 70,000 miles on this set of tires. That’s very impressive. After 18,000+ miles he still has 14/32 tread depth left.

This same guy also has a good video showing Jeep Wrangler tips and tricks. I especially liked his tips that use Rain-X Glass Treatment.
