The Jeep Gladiator combines the Wrangler JL platform with a pickup bed — making it uniquely capable and uniquely tire-demanding. The Rubicon's off-road hardware is factory-ready for serious trail use. Here are the best tires for every Gladiator build.
Common Jeep Gladiator tire sizes
Gladiator Sport, Overland: LT255/75R17 (30.1-inch).
Gladiator Rubicon: LT285/70R17 (32.7-inch) — factory lift, lockers, and Falken Wildpeak AT Trail tires.
Gladiator Mojave: LT255/75R17 — desert-racing-focused with Fox shocks and high-clearance bumpers.
The Rubicon comes ready for 33-inch tires stock. With a 2-inch lift and wheel spacers, 35-inch tires fit without major modifications.
Best tires — Gladiator Sport and Overland
Falken Wildpeak AT3W in LT255/75R17: excellent upgrade from the OEM all-season — 3PMSF winter rating, better off-road grip, minimal highway noise increase.
BF Goodrich KO2 in LT255/75R17: the benchmark A/T for Gladiator owners who trail frequently — better rock traction than the Wildpeak at the cost of more highway noise.
Best tires — Gladiator Rubicon (33-inch stock)
BF Goodrich KO2 in LT285/70R17: the most popular Rubicon upgrade — better traction in rock and clay than the factory Falken AT Trail.

Cooper Discoverer STT Pro in LT285/70R17: an underrated M/T option with excellent mud and clay performance — well-suited to West Georgia off-road terrain.
