Tires for 1959 Jeep CJ5

When shopping for 1959 Jeep CJ5 tires, it's important to focus on both the original tire sizes and popular aftermarket upgrades that enhance off-road performance. Typically, the 1959 CJ5 came with tire sizes around 6.00-16 or similar vintage sizing, but many owners today prefer larger tires to boost ground clearance and off-road capability. We recommend exploring options like 31x10.50-15 or 33x12.50-15 for a rugged, aggressive fit. Proper tire maintenance is key to getting the most out of your investment—regular air pressure checks, tire rotations, and alignment help extend tread life and improve safety.

Given the CJ5's legendary off-road status, many owners opt for all-terrain or mud-terrain tires to tackle trails, rocks, and mud with confidence.

For example, the BF Goodrich MUD-TERRAIN T/A KM 2 and Toyo OPEN COUNTRY M/T provide aggressive tread patterns that excel in challenging terrain.
