DV8 Offroad Tired Tread Shift Knob for Jeep Wrangler TJ Automatic

The DV8 Offroad Tired Tread Shift Knob is a billet aluminum replacement shift knob designed for 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models equipped with an automatic transmission. Its patented Tired Tread grip pattern gives the knob a textured, tire-tread surface that improves hand feel both at rest and mid-shift. This knob is available in black finish.

Solid Material Where Your Hand Lands Most

Billet aluminum construction means the Tired Tread Shift Knob is machined from a single solid piece of aluminum rather than cast or assembled from multiple parts. That process produces a denser, more consistent part with tighter tolerances. The knob sits firmly on the lever without flex or wobble. For a component that takes thousands of hand contacts over the life of a vehicle, starting with billet material matters for long-term feel and durability.

A Grip Pattern Designed Around How Shifting Actually Works

DV8 Offroad's patented Tired Tread design puts a raised, tire-tread-style texture across the surface of the knob. The pattern gives your palm and fingers consistent purchase whether you're resting a hand on the shifter on the highway or making a deliberate gear change on the trail. A smooth knob can slip or feel vague under a gloved hand or in wet conditions; the Tired Tread surface addresses that with a grip pattern that maintains contact through both.
