2007 Jeep Wrangler Tires

[HNL2LHC]

Our son in Colorado has a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. He currently has studded 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac.

He is looking to relocate to a warmer climate like CA or AZ. I would like to know what is a good tire for mostly on road driving with the possibility of off road from time to time.

Also is there any value for the stock set of wheel/tires and the set of snow tires to be taken off?

Thanks

If he wants to stay the same size, the new Rubicon JL comes with BFG KO2's that are 285/70/17. You can find them pretty easy on Craigslist and JL forums for around $1000-1200 for 5 with wheels/tires or around $700-800 for just 5 tires, sometimes cheaper if you wait for the right deal.

These are already sold but gives you an idea.

In the old days you could just have the studs removed. I'm a fan of the BFG K02s ... quiet ride.

Thanks for the replies. I have been checking and it looks like the studs can be removed from the tires. I think that we will give that a try before purchasing new tires. Has any taken studs out of tires?
