OFF-ROAD TIRE SHOP FOR JEEPS, TRUCKS, BRONCOS & TOYOTAS
We can help with tire sizing, fitment, mounting and balancing while considering your suspension, wheel setup, gearing, clearance and intended use. From stock 4x4s to lifted and heavily modified builds, proper tire fitment is about more than simply choosing the biggest tire that will fit.
PROFESSIONAL OFF-ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION IN LAS VEGAS
Installing larger off-road tires involves more than mounting them to a wheel. Tire size, wheel offset, suspension height, steering clearance and vehicle modifications can all affect whether a tire fits and performs correctly.
American Off-Road Customs provides professional off-road tire installation in Las Vegas for stock, lifted and modified Jeeps, trucks, Broncos and Toyotas. We can help determine the right tire size and setup while considering how your vehicle is actually used—from daily driving and towing to overlanding, desert trails and rock crawling.
Our shop can mount and balance your tires and identify potential clearance or fitment issues before they become a problem. If larger tires require additional suspension, alignment or clearance modifications, we can handle those services in-house as part of the overall build.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT OFF-ROAD TIRES
The best off-road tire depends on your vehicle, terrain and how much time you spend on the street versus the trail. Tire construction, tread pattern, load rating and size can all affect traction, road noise, ride quality, towing and off-road performance.
Explore the options below to learn more about choosing tires for your Jeep, truck, Bronco or Toyota.

ALL-TERRAIN VS. MUD-TERRAIN TIRES
Choosing between all-terrain and mud-terrain tires depends on where you drive, how often you take your vehicle off-road and how much on-road comfort matters to you. All-terrain tires are often a good choice for daily-driven 4x4s that also see trail use, while mud-terrain tires offer a more aggressive tread pattern for tougher off-road conditions.
The videos below provide additional comparisons to help explain the differences in tread design, road manners and off-road performance. If you’re still unsure which tire is right for your Jeep, truck, Bronco or Toyota, AORC can help narrow down the options based on your vehicle, budget and how you actually use it.
all-Terrain tires
All-terrain tires are a great option for Jeeps, trucks, Broncos and Toyotas that spend most of their time on pavement but still need dependable traction off-road. Their tread patterns are generally less aggressive than mud-terrain tires, helping provide a quieter ride and better road manners while still offering traction on dirt, gravel and moderate trails.
mud-Terrain tires
Mud-terrain tires use larger tread blocks and more aggressive tread patterns designed for tougher off-road conditions. They’re a popular choice for vehicles that regularly see rocks, loose dirt, mud and demanding trails, but the aggressive design can create more road noise and different handling characteristics on pavement.
Tire choice should also account for vehicle weight, tire size, load rating, towing needs and the type of terrain you encounter most often. AORC can help compare options and choose an off-road tire that fits both your vehicle and how you use it.
Sticky tires
Sticky tires are designed for serious off-road use where maximum traction on rocks and technical terrain matters more than everyday street performance. Their softer rubber compounds can provide significantly more grip on rock surfaces than a typical all-terrain or mud-terrain tire.
These tires are commonly used on dedicated rock crawlers and heavily modified trail rigs, but they aren’t the right choice for every vehicle. Sticky compounds can wear faster, may have limited street use depending on the tire, and should be selected based on the vehicle’s weight, wheel size, terrain and intended use.
If you’re building a Jeep or 4×4 specifically for rock crawling, AORC can help determine whether a sticky tire makes sense for your setup and what supporting modifications may be needed.
FENDER TRIMMING & CLEARANCE FOR LARGER TIRES
Installing larger tires can create clearance issues around the fenders, liners, bumpers and other areas of the vehicle, especially when turning or when the suspension is flexed off-road. Depending on the vehicle and tire size, additional clearance may be needed to prevent rubbing and allow the suspension to move properly.
AORC can evaluate tire clearance as part of your overall setup and determine whether trimming or other modifications are appropriate. We consider tire size, wheel offset, suspension height and intended use before recommending changes.
LARGER TIRE FITMENT MATTERS
A tire that clears while parked may still rub at full steering lock or when the suspension compresses and articulates on the trail. Proper fitment helps preserve steering clearance, suspension travel and drivability while giving you the tire size you’re looking for.
OFF-ROAD TIRE FITMENT EXPERTS IN LAS VEGAS
Choosing the right off-road tire isn’t only about tread pattern or tire size. Your suspension, wheel width and offset, gearing, vehicle weight, steering clearance and how you use your 4×4 can all affect which tire setup will work best.
At American Off-Road Customs, we work with lifted and modified Jeeps, trucks, Broncos and Toyotas every day. That experience allows us to look at the entire vehicle—not just the tire—when helping you choose the right setup.
Whether you’re building a daily driver, tow rig, overland vehicle or dedicated rock crawler, we’ll help you find a tire setup that works with the rest of your build.
MORE THAN JUST MOUNTING TIRES
Larger off-road tires can affect alignment, gearing, braking, steering, suspension clearance and overall drivability. If your vehicle needs supporting upgrades to properly run the tire size you want, AORC can help identify those needs before installation.
OFF-ROAD TIRE SIZE CHART
Off-road tire sizes can be listed in either metric measurements or traditional inch sizes, which can make comparing options confusing. Use the chart below as a general reference when comparing common tire sizes for Jeeps, trucks, Broncos and Toyotas.
Keep in mind that the listed diameter is an approximation. Actual tire dimensions can vary by manufacturer, model, wheel width and load rating, so two tires labeled as the same size may not measure exactly the same once installed.
METRIC TIRE SIZE TO INCH CONVERSION
Not sure what size will fit your 4×4? Tire diameter alone doesn’t determine fitment. Suspension height, wheel offset, steering clearance, gearing and vehicle-specific clearance all matter. AORC can help determine an appropriate tire size before installation.
Keep in mind there are a lot of variables that go along with getting larger tires to fit each vehicle like wheel size and offset.

OFF-ROAD TIRE FAQS
Where can I get professional off-road tire installation in Las Vegas?
American Off-Road Customs provides professional off-road tire installation in Las Vegas for Jeeps, trucks, Broncos and Toyotas. We can help with tire selection, sizing, fitment, mounting and balancing for stock, lifted and modified 4x4s.
What is the difference between all-terrain and mud-terrain tires?
All-terrain tires generally provide a balance between everyday street driving and off-road traction, while mud-terrain tires use a more aggressive tread designed for tougher trail conditions. The best choice depends on how much time your vehicle spends on the road and the type of terrain you regularly drive.
What size off-road tires can I fit on my Jeep or truck?
It depends on the vehicle, suspension height, wheel size and offset, steering clearance and other modifications. Instead of choosing tire size based only on lift height, AORC can evaluate the complete setup and help determine what will fit and function properly.
Can you install 35-inch, 37-inch or larger tires?
Yes. We install larger off-road tires on properly equipped Jeeps, trucks, Broncos and Toyotas. Larger tire sizes may require supporting changes to suspension, clearance, steering, gearing or other components depending on the vehicle.
Do you mount and balance off-road tires?
Yes. AORC provides mounting and balancing for off-road tires as part of our tire services. Proper balancing is especially important with larger, heavier tire and wheel combinations.
Can you install tires on lifted or modified 4x4s?
Yes. Lifted and modified vehicles are a major part of what we work on. We can account for aftermarket suspension, wheels, steering components and other modifications when evaluating tire fitment.
Do larger tires require a lift kit?
Not always. Whether a lift or additional clearance is needed depends on the vehicle, tire size, wheel offset and how the suspension moves through its travel. Some setups may require suspension changes, trimming or other modifications to prevent rubbing.
Will larger tires affect my gearing or drivability?
They can. Increasing tire diameter changes the effective gear ratio and can affect acceleration, transmission behavior, braking and overall drivability. For significantly larger tire setups, we can evaluate whether supporting upgrades such as axle regearing should be considered.
What off-road tire brands do you recommend?
AORC works with a variety of established off-road tire brands, including Mickey Thompson, Maxxis, Cooper, Nitto, BFGoodrich, Goodyear, Toyo, Yokohama and Falken. The right brand and tire model depends on your vehicle, terrain, budget and intended use.
Can you help me choose the right off-road tires?
Yes. Tell us what you drive, your current modifications, the tire size you’re considering and how you use the vehicle. We can help narrow down tire options for daily driving, towing, overlanding, trail use or rock crawling.
