The Bronco gods have stricken anything “Wrangler” from the list

LOL...yeah...that is straight from one of the tire retailers...Discount Tire.

Thanks @OP. Nitto Recon Grappler suspiciously missing. It's reported to be a fantastic tire.

There was one in the list (35x11.5x17), but I added 3:

315/70/17 LRC
315/70/17 LRD
35x12.50x17 LRD

Was hoping someone else would think it’s funny. the tire name is just bad marketing by the manufacturer.

Having owned a 2019 Rubicon, it was all the talk in the Wrangler forum when Ford forced Goodyear to create a tire with no Wrangler on it.

I agree with Ford (even if I hadn't owned a Wrangler), why advertise for the competition...

Fantastic. Publish a Google sheet and let others add. I'd add 37 and 38 Recons...

Here are 3 spreadsheets with various tires that I put together in 2021. Pricing is likely dated and there may be newer versions, but hopefully this may help someone.

Edited to have the OEM Goodyear Territory MT as the baseline tire.

The sheets have various tabs where the data is sorted in different ways.

I think 40 are the biggest.

I think 40 are the biggest.

You could go 42" if feeling exceptionally rambunctious...though I'm sure the D44's would do more than complain about it.

What??? Not one "True 35" on the list. Imagine that
Prepare for the chair chucker's

...Looks like Falken took your comment to heart and whipped it across the room!

(And fantastic spreadsheet Carbon. I toyed with the idea of doing the same; but ultimately just settled on Ironman M/T's for looks - even though they check none of the practicality boxes.)

Not to worry, there won't be many more takers. A few but not many

Thank you so much for collecting this information! Very helpful! Not sure if this has also been previously posted but Nokian makes the Hakkapeliitta LT3 snow/ice tire in 315/70R/17 size. Unfortunately, their supply has been exhausted for this winter season.

Also, for me the big takeway is the lower weight of the OEM Territory MT. So many of the other tires add significant unsprung weight at each corner, some up to 10-20 lbs per corner. And the Territories held up very well during our recent snowpocalypse. The only negative appears to be that they are perhaps more vulnerable to punctures (due to the lighter construction/C load rating?).

Well, I bought BFG KO2's 37x12.50x17 in LRC for my Wrangler. They were the tires on the "new" Ford Raptor which was built for high-speed desert running. I did some hard rock crawling and never had a puncture. Now, the BFG's sucked in 50 other ways, but LRC did not seem to be a factor in tire punctures.

Very informative thread! Thank you!

-- they wear a little quick (25-30K) but are snowflake rated, studdable, and throw mud chunks the size of small cats. They are also a 10 ply tire.
