Hope you can help . . .

I am new to the Jeep ownwers . . .

Just wondering in the tires that came with my 2010 4door unlimited are fine for the snow AND off roading.

I think I have the #'s on the tires correct.

P225/70R18 112S M+S

Please let me know your thoughts!

OIIIIIIIO

I use mine off road but mainlyy on logging trails and abandoned roads. I will be going to Goodyear Dura Tracs next year in a 33" size.

I currently also have a 2010 JKU Sahara with same tires you have.
Got my Jeep in mid March this year so not a lot of snow traveling yet but the little I have encountered the tires did ok.

2008 Jk Unlimited with same tires and the Limited Slip Diff out back.

-ice packed 401 with a foot of fresh snow = no problem
-deep snow = no problem, and lot's fun :)
-mild trail rides, including mud ect = good
-I'm not big on rock krawlin so can't comment
-wet roads = seems ok.

Nice and easy on the skiny pedal gets you further down the road/trail.

For stock tires they are pretty good, 35Ks and the wear seems very good also. Stay on top of your tire rotations. Like KAVIK I'll be considering the Goodyear Dura Tracks.

Regardless of tires, don't forget to wave!

Thanks for your in put guys . . . appreciate it!!!

I always wave . . . lol . . . .

I agree all round good tires from my experience.

xxss

If you have a Sahara (Which I suspect due to the 18" wheels) the tire size should be 255/70/18. The stock Bridgestones as Jeepminded said should work well as an "All around" tire. Not strong in any one area, but will work well in most.

Can't speak from personal experience but my sources (Northern Michigan -aka the UP- members of the North American XJ Association) all advised against running Goodyear Dura Tracs if up against snow. They say they are great tires for rocking and off roading (packed sand, pebble beaches) and I followed them through all of those (with BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO's), but they say they are treacherous in the snow. Figure guys from Northern Michigan might know what their talking about!

KAVIK

That is not good news .... I did quite a bit of research on them and most listed info rates them excellent in snow (independent sources) , but real life feedback is always better IMHO so this concerns me now....Great info thanks. I will be putting something on for next fall to replace the stock tires....back to the research I guess.

Don't take this as a recommendation for BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO's either! I've never run them in the winter as they come off with the summer rims. I will tell you to stay away from Goodyear Wrangler GS/A's though. They came stock on the TJ and are nightmare in wet and slipper/snowy pavement. Can't wait to wear them out and find something new. Will likely go with Bridgestones. My 2004 GMC 4X4 (Shortbox) Truck came with a set (Duerler AT's) and even worn to a dimes width above the wearbar got me through a southern Ontario winter without a slip! Other replier's are also saying the stock Duelers on their jeeps are working great. Not sure what is stock on them though -still Dueler AT's?

KAVIK

yep duelersA/T's P255/70R18 OWL are stock on them still. The rubi's come with mud terrain t/a's. I have had no issues with the duelers.. Just looking for a bigger tread that still has decent on road manners.
