What would be the standard passenger tires for my 2003 jeep wrangler sport?
Teacup asked:
Here is the deal, I need something that is passenger and not as expensive as the larger tires. My current tires are shot and unsafe. The budget does not allow too much money to spent on this. Any ideas?

if there is a Mr.Tire store near you, go there for the best deal on tires. they can tell you the size and the best value for your car. you can also check their website. dipsydoodle
Believe it or not, the standard tire for a Wrangler is a Wrangler.
Too bad about your budget though. Wranglers really aren’t very good tires. Something like a Fortera Triple tread would make the Jeep handle all types of roads much better. Nomadd
If you use passenger car tires for your Jeep you will greatly effect the load carrying capacity of this vehicle.
Even though the suspension is capable of carrying the load your passenger car tires won’t be. It would be very easy to exceed the load carrying capacity of the tires. This could cause a blow out and crash.
Try shopping around for a better deal. If they are available in your area try Fleet Farm or other similar place. They will sell off brand tires with the required load tires.
Many times these off brand tires are manufactured by the name brand manufacturers and are every bit as good. You just aren’t paying for a name. Mad Jack
if you look on your driver’s door or the door jam it should have a plate with the tire info that the manufacturer recommends. As far as the brand, well that is up to your wallet. Dan
TireRack.com can tell you the factory correct tire and size along with ratings and personal testimonys from custormers rocknbronco
your jeep probably came with either p215/75r15, p225/75r15, or lt30×9.50r15’s. A passenger rated tire will easily carry the load of that vehicle. The LT package on these vehicles is more terrain related than weight capacity.
My suggestion would be to look for a P235/75R15 “Wrangler Radial”, “Wrangler RT’/S” or “Wrangler SR-A”. They are quality American made tires and all on pretty good discounts right now. The SR-A is probably a few bucks more, but worth the difference.
With Obama’s recent 35 percent tariff on Chinese tire imports you’re not going to find much cheaper than that. Huzbum
