35x12.50R17 tires

35x12.50R17 is the size off-road owners mean when they say they are running 35s on 17-inch wheels. Jeep's factory Xtreme Recon package puts the metric equivalent, 315/70R17, on the Wrangler, and the Bronco Sasquatch package does the same; everything else on this page needs a lift. Below are real prices for 170 tires in stock, three picks with very different weights and casings, and what the jump to 35 inches does to a vehicle.

What 35x12.50R17 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $1,156 to $1,584, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

What 35-inch tires ask of the rest of the vehicle

A 35-inch tire is two to three inches taller than what most of these vehicles started on. On a Wrangler JK or a Tacoma that means a lift kit, wheels with the right backspacing, and often some trimming of the fenders or bumper. The bigger rolling diameter also changes the gearing: the engine works harder, the automatic shifts later, and many owners re-gear the axles to bring acceleration back. Brakes, steering parts and ball joints all carry more load.

None of that makes 35s a bad idea, but the tires are only part of the cost. Budget for the lift and the speedometer recalibration before you budget for the rubber.

Weight and load range: 64 to 78 pounds per tire

The three picks show how much construction varies in one size. The BFGoodrich is a load range D tire at about 64 pounds; the Milestar and Falken are load range E and weigh about 74 and 78 pounds. Fourteen pounds per corner is a lot of rotating mass, and you feel it in braking and acceleration. On a Jeep that is not towing, load range C or D is usually enough; the E-rated tires make sense for a heavy pickup like the F-250 or an overland build carrying gear and water.

Run them at the pressure the tire maker's load table gives for your axle weight, not the sidewall maximum and rotate them more often than you would a passenger tire, since big tread blocks start to wear unevenly quickly.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

35x12.50R17 is a flotation size, the format used on larger truck tires: the first number is the overall diameter in inches (nominally 35 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, 17 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 121Q on the Milestar Patagonia X/T (3,197 lb per tire, rated to 99 mph), 125R on the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W (3,638 lb per tire, rated to 106 mph) and 119R on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 (2,998 lb per tire, rated to 106 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.

Milestar Patagonia X/T, $228.99. Milestar's hybrid of mud and all-terrain tread, with 19/32 inch of tread and an E-rated, 121Q casing. It carries the 3PMSF symbol in this size and a 40,000-mile warranty. At 73.6 pounds it is not light, and the Q speed rating (99 mph) is the lowest of the three.

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, $381. The heaviest and toughest of the three, at 78.2 pounds with an E-rated 125R casing and 19/32 inch of tread. In flotation and LT sizes Falken's warranty is 60,000 miles, still the longest here. Carries the 3PMSF symbol.

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, $523.99. BFGoodrich's current all-terrain, and in this size the lightest pick at 64.4 pounds thanks to a load range D casing. It has 15/32 inch of tread, the 3PMSF symbol and a 50,000-mile warranty, and is the one we would put on a Wrangler that is driven daily.

What 35x12.50R17 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 233 tires listed in this size, 170 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Atlander ROVERCLAW R/T at $226.96, a 121Q tire. The median is $347.96; a third of the tires cost $288.96 or less, and the top five percent start above $511.99. Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Milestar Patagonia X/T, our budget pick here at $228.99, is also stocked in 305/55R20 ($272.96). The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, our mid-range pick here at $381, is also stocked in LT285/70R17 ($303), 285/70R17 ($324), 265/70R16 ($226) and 265/70R18 ($298.06). The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, our premium pick here at $523.99, is also stocked in LT285/70R17 ($325.99), LT275/65R20 ($440.96), 33x12.50R17 ($385.99) and LT245/70R17 ($274.99). 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.

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.

All of our picks here, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, carry the 3PMSF symbol.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 35x12.50R17 tires cost?

Expect $227–$289 per tire for a budget brand, $289–$396 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and $396–$512 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3. A set of four therefore starts at about $908. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 35x12.50R17 tires?

35x12.50R17 is original equipment on Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon (2018-2024, Xtreme Recon 35 in), Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018, lifted 35 in), Ford Bronco Sasquatch (2021-2024, 315/70R17 equivalent), Toyota Tacoma (2005-2023, 3 in lift) and Ford F-250 (2005-2024, lifted), 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 35x12.50R17 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, 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 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Patagonia X/T is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 35x12.50R17 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.
