Top Jeep Tires for Winter 2014/2015

As cool fall breezes give way to the biting cold of winter, it's time to look at winter tire options for your Jeep. Winter tires provide better traction in the cold weather. However, they won't perform as well during the summer and might use up a little more fuel. For areas prone to ice, studded tires can be a great way to go. This is because they're better able to grab the road. We took a good look at which tires are recommended time and again by Jeep enthusiasts. Here's our list of the best winter tires for your Jeep:

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

One of the two most recommended winter tires by Jeep enthusiasts is the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac. It gets the prize as an excellent winter tire choice for your Jeep. It's also one of the most versatile tires on our list. It works well for off-road adventures while giving you a quieter ride on the highway. The aggressive tread also makes it a great option for hauling and towing.

Bridgestone Blizzak LT

If you're specifically dealing with extreme winter conditions and aren't worried about highway performance, the Bridgestone Blizzak LT is the tire for you. Also highly recommended by Jeep enthusiasts, it deals better with off-road conditions, including ice, snow, and extreme cold. Surfaced with Bridgestone's special Multi-Cell compound, the tire will actually absorb a small amount of water. This gives you better traction control while allowing the tire to remain more flexible in extreme cold.

Firestone Winterforce

If you've got more highway than byway in your commute, the Firestone Winterforce family of tires is a great bet to consider. This model was designed to specifically provide both a quiet ride as well as optimum traction control. This tire is recommended for Jeeps used as an urban daily driver.

Nokian Tires

It's not surprising that Nokian Tires is on our list since they were the inventors of the first winter tire! Designed specifically for northern climates, the Nokian WR D3 was a test winner in the 2014 Auto Bild winter tire test. Many Jeep drivers living in northern cities particularly like this tire.

Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor

The second Goodyear Wrangler on our list, the Wrangler Silent Armor tire provides Kevlar protection for dirt trails that also helps provide a smooth, quiet ride on the highway. As an excellent all-purpose winter tire, traction ridges help provide traction in rain and mud, making it a great option if you've got a lot of freeze and thaw in your winter climate.

Nitto Terra Grapplers

Though not a winter-only tire, Nitto's Terra Grappler is a great tire for when you need a little help in the winter but don't want to be held to a winter-only tire. With coupling joints between tread blocks, the Grappler provides a mix of traction and performance.

The best way to stay safe in your vehicle this winter is by installing good snow tires that help keep you in control.
