Default Jk Tyre recommendations
Hi all,

Looking for tyre recommendations. Currently have monsta terrain grippers but they road noise is too high. Sounds like a jet inside the cab.

Was thinking maybe scorpions, or nittos but wanted to get recommendations from what everyone is using.

Looking for a good off-road/on road option.

I can't recommend Falken Wildpeak AT3W any more than is possible. They are quieter than my road tyres and grip like anything offroad.

Currently running scorpions which are not bad on wet roads and noise ok. Occasional off road touring and did pretty well in the Simpson QA line.
I run at 32psi on road. 265/70r17. Might be a new version now.
Now due for replacement and was looking at the terain grippers. What other feedback apart from noise? Wet road grip?

I went from Maxxis Bighorn M/T 285/70R17 to Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/70R17. Seem to be about the same rolling diameter, at least, I didn't have to change the speedo calibration.

Had them for about 2 years now? Great on road & MUCH quieter. Also been a very good A/T offroad, never given me any cause for complaint.

They are an awesome tyre, handle well in the wet, mud/sand/rock no problem.

I just can’t take the road noise, literally sounds like a jet, and unless you drive around with the stereo booming, it gets really annoying on long trips.
