33x12.50R18 tires
33x12.50R18 is the 33-inch tire for owners who keep 18-inch wheels. No vehicle on this page came with it: it replaces the factory 275/65R18 on many F-150, Ram 1500 and Silverado trims and the 18-inch sizes on the Tundra, and it fits lifted Wrangler JLs on aftermarket 18s. Below are real prices for 132 tires in stock, three picks from rugged-terrain to mud-terrain, and what changes when you go from 32 to 33 inches.
Yes, this fits your Jeep Wrangler JL. 33x12.50R18 is the original size on the 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Jeep Wrangler JL size.

From a 32-inch factory tire to a 33
A 275/65R18, the factory tire on many half-ton trims, is about 32.1 inches tall and 10.8 inches wide. A 33x12.50R18 is close to an inch taller and about 1.7 inches wider. Height is the easy part; width is where trucks rub, usually on the upper control arm or the front of the inner fender at full lock. A leveling kit or a wheel with less backspacing solves most of it. The approved rim width for this size is 8.5 to 11 inches, wider than most factory 18-inch wheels.
The speedometer will read about three percent slow after the change, and the larger tire takes some of the edge off acceleration and fuel economy.
Load range and the daily-driver question
All three picks are LT tires, listed at load range E or F, with Q speed ratings of 99 mph. That is far more casing than a half-ton truck needs, so they ride stiffly at the pressures printed on the sidewall; most owners run lower pressures suited to the truck's actual weight, following the tire maker's load tables. A truck that is driven daily on the highway is better served by an all-terrain than by the mud-terrain or rugged-terrain treads here, which are louder and wear faster.
The Goodyear premium pick carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol; the other two do not according to the retailer.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
33x12.50R18 is a flotation size, the format used on larger truck tires: the first number is the overall diameter in inches (nominally 33 inches, a little less once mounted and loaded), the second is the section width in inches (12.50) and the last is the wheel diameter, 18 inches. These are LT tires with a load range letter on the sidewall, usually E or F here; a replacement should carry the same letter, because the letter sets the maximum inflation pressure the tire is built for.
In this size our picks are marked 118Q on the Atturo Trail Blade X/T (2,910 lb per tire, rated to 99 mph) and 122Q on the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT (3,307 lb per tire, rated to 99 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Atturo Trail Blade X/T, $214.96. A rugged-terrain tire with a 45,000-mile warranty, a 460 treadwear grade in a representative size and a sidewall styled for looks. It is listed as 118Q here. The lowest-priced way into a 33 on 18-inch wheels.
General Grabber X3. General's mud-terrain, with a deep, self-cleaning tread and Duragen casing technology. The retailer lists no mileage warranty. It is listed as here, and it belongs on a truck that spends real time in mud and rocks.
Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT, $408.99. Goodyear's rugged-terrain, with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol and a 50,000-mile warranty. In this size it is a 122Q tire, load range F per tiresize.com, the strongest casing of the three.

The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Atturo Trail Blade X/T, our budget pick here at $214.96, is also stocked in 33x12.50R20 ($198.96), 35x12.50R18 ($222.96), 285/55R20 ($205.96) and 305/45R22 ($198.96).

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
Winter on a pickup in this size
Four-wheel-drive pickups satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, on the vehicle alone, provided the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive truck, still common in work trims, must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Nearly every all-terrain tire carries the M+S marking, and the better ones now also carry the 3PMSF symbol, which requires a tested level of snow traction rather than just a tread pattern. An unloaded pickup is light over its rear axle, so on snow the rear tires lose grip first; a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed over the axle does as much as the tire choice.
Of our picks in this size, the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT carries the 3PMSF symbol; the Atturo Trail Blade X/T does not.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 33x12.50R18 tires cost?
Expect $182–$223 per tire for a budget brand, $223–$260 for a mid-range tire like the General Grabber X3, and $260–$427 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT. A set of four therefore starts at about $728. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 33x12.50R18 tires?
33x12.50R18 is original equipment on Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-2024, 18 in wheels lifted), Ford F-150 (2015-2024, 18 in upsize), Ram 1500 (2019-2024, 18 in upsize), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2019-2024, 18 in upsize) and Toyota Tundra (2007-2024, upsize), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 33x12.50R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General Grabber X3, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Atturo Trail Blade X/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 33x12.50R18 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
