Best Tires for the Electric Jeep Wrangler (Wrangler 4xe)

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is a plug-in hybrid that began production March 2021 and ended at the end of 2025. It combines legendary off-road capability with plug-in hybrid electric power (and torque for days). But that torque and added battery weight place different demands on your tires.

Choosing the right tires for your Jeep Wrangler 4xe can improve traction, ride comfort, efficiency, and treadlife regardless if you’re exploring the trail or cruising the highway.

Do Electric Jeep Wranglers Need Special Tires?

Yes and no. Wrangler 4xe Jeeps don’t need EV-specific tires but they benefit from tires that are designed to handle the high demands of an electric vehicle.

EV and plug-in hybrids often require tires that can handle:

• Higher vehicle weight

• Instant electric torque

• Reduced road noise

• Low rolling resistance

WHAT MAKES A TIRE GOOD FOR THE JEEP WRANGLER 4XE?

Any tire that you consider for your plug-in hybrid Jeep should include the following to ensure maximum performance and efficiency.

High Load Rating

The Wrangler 4xe is heavier than gas models due to the hybrid battery system. Therefore, your tires will need to have a higher load rating to accommodate it.

Here is our load range and load index chart.

A typical gas-powered Jeep Wrangler is anywhere from 3,950 to 5,100lbs depending on trim, model, and engine. However, the 2025 Wrangler 4xe has a curb weight of 5,568lbs for the Rubicon trim.

Durable Tread Compounds

Electric vehicle torque is amazingly high but this can accelerate tread wear. The 2025 Wrangler 4xe creates 470 pound-feet of torque (matching the Rubicon 392’s gas powered Hemi V-8 engine).

You will need a tire that offers long-lasting and durable tread to withstand constant torque stress.

Low Rolling Resistance

Low rolling resistance tires require less energy to roll, making them more efficient. This applies to both gas and electric vehicles.

Currently, there is no industry regulation on what constitutes a fuel-efficient tire but manufacturers work hard to stay competitive so original equipment (OE) tires tend to be more efficient.

Off-Road Traction

The Jeep was originally conceived as an off-road vehicle, and many modern drivers demand rugged all-terrain performance—–even out of their hybrid vehicle.

Many drivers still prioritize traction for:

• Mud

• Rocks

• Snow

• Sand and dirt

Quiet Ride

Electric and hybrid engines are very quiet, making tire and road noise more noticeable. Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners will want to prioritize a quiet in-cabin experience.

Many EV-specific tires use acoustic foam liners on the inside of the tire to dampen noise.

JEEP WRANGLER 4XE TIRE SIZES

The size tires your Jeep Wrangler 4xe comes with depends upon its trim. Here are a few examples:

*Some models, such as the Xtreme 35 Package, come with 35-inch tires & Many drivers choose to upgrade to 33’’ or 35’’ tires.

DO TIRES AFFECT ELECTRIC DRIVING RANGE?

Yes, tires affect both electric range and gas consumption.

Rolling resistance directly impacts efficiency due to the energy required to rotate your tire. Bulky, heavy tires reduce your range because your vehicle must work harder to move.

This means bulky, heavy off-road tires will (to a degree) reduce your range. Highway-terrain (or touring tires) offer more efficient and smooth-rolling treads that aim to increase mileage or range as much as possible.

It’s no surprise that most of the tire types found on our best tires for EVs list are all-season/touring types.

DO ELECTRIC JEEPS WEAR TIRES FASTER?

Yes, but so do all electric and hybrid vehicles. The higher torque and heavier weight of these vehicles wear away tires faster than an equivalent gas-powered vehicle, even trucks.

For electric Jeeps, this is further compounded by aggressive driving and off-road use where rough conditions and aired down tires are common. The correct air pressure is highly important to your Jeep’s performance and safety.

HOW TO CHOOSE TIRES FOR YOUR WRANGLER 4XE

It can feel intimidating to choose the right tires for your hybrid Jeep. Choose tires based on:

• Driving style: daily driver or weekend trail runner

• Tire size upgrades: do you want the additional cost and maintenance?

• Load rating

• Weather conditions

• Range versus traction priorities
