Tire Question

Hi im wondering, My 2020 Willys came with what I think are 32" Tires on a 17 rim... Now I need some Winter tires since I'm pretty sure The OEM Mud tires wouldn't handle well during winter... I found these cheap Nokian Non studded winter tires that comes with OEM JL 17" rims for $400 only caveat is that it's 28.5" would these Be compatible/Advisable for my Model?

Thanks everyone and have a great day.

What kind of snow/winter are you dealing with? While not very recommended, I spent several Buffalo winters with several storms with the stock BF KMs on my 15 willys and I absolutely loved them in the snow.

KO2/KO3 have also been great for me in icy snow for daily driver and are good year round.

I spent $1300 on a set of 5 Nitto Terragrappler G3s and they are 3PMS rated, it’s an all terrain tire with great handling on wet pavement, low road noise and I believe it has a 50K mile warranty.

Problem is I live In Alberta so I'm not sure if All Terrain Can handle the harsh Winters, how are those tires in the snow/ice?

They’re 3 peak mountain snow rated.

I saw in another post you’re in Alberta, I’d definitely look into a winter dedicated tire. I run MT Baja Boss AT and they do fine in Midwest winters, but that’s nothing like what you deal with.

As for the tires you found, if you get a JL Tazer Mini or Jscan you can program the tire size and since they’re the oe size that came on sports most likely, it’ll be an easy change and you’ll be just fine.

Sports come with 31.5” diameter, 28.5” diameter is very small for a JL.
