The Best Stock Tires for a Jeep Rubicon

The Chrysler-Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is one of the most successful off-road vehicle brands in North America. The utility vehicle's performance value is primarily targeted to the all-terrain market. The 2010 version offers a 3.8-Liter V6 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and offers full-time 4-wheel traction. There are several brands of stock tires that work well on the Rubicon.

BF Goodrich LT255/75R

  • This tire is the standard factory product, although buyers can purchase optional dealer tires for special wheel sizes or alternative needs, such as those required by law enforcement or various utility sectors. The LT255 is optimized for use on all terrains and is designed to handle serious all-weather conditions, including those found during icy or deep water operations.

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar

  • The MT/R can be bought as a optional factory tire or as an aftermarket replacement product. As expected, the tire is optimized for all-terrain and offers an additional advantage in the form of a Kevlar belt under the tire's tread, which creates an extended service life. Since the Rubicon is capable of handling over-sized wheels and tires, this product is sized from 17" to 20", with the latter optimized to handle particularly rough roads or when operating across entirely unimproved tracks.

General Grabber AT2

  • The AT2 is an all-terrain tire that fits nicely as a reasonably priced standard replacement option for the Jeep Rubicon. Although its tread pattern is not quite as aggressive as either the Goodrich LT or Goodyear MT, the General is a very suitable product when translating between pavement and off-road.
