Settled at 30 psi, and ride is great, and nice to have that extra protection w/ the thicker E-rated rubber, already came in handy w/ a large nail that would have flattened a C rated
Outstanding! Glad to hear you're enjoying them and thank you for the quick reply! Take care, amigo!Settled at 30 psi, and ride is great, and nice to have that extra protection w/ the thicker E-rated rubber, already came in handy w/ a large nail that would have flattened a C rated
Thats about what I'm seeing with my non chalk dirt road to paved road testMy friends chalk test at 24psi. Outer lugs aren'ttouching.
Just was not sure thats the way they should ride. 
On their last set of milestar's, they replaced them at 15k miles....prob why he thought they would last 25k-30k for most people. They defintely feel softer.
What is your rim size? I believe they recommend a 9” wide rim for the 315/70 r17. If you are using a much smaller width rim it will make it much more difficult to contact the entire tire.Thats about what I'm seeing with my non chalk dirt road to paved road test
according to Milestar it should contact all the entire tire. Although this may not apply to the MT. I'm guessing not.

Yep, i'm running a 17x9. I think some of it might be the 2-door with manual transmission is a bit lighter.
My friend who sent me that pic I posted with the chalk test at 24 psi with the outer lugs not fully making contact is also running a 17Ă—9 with a 37/12.50/17 milestar on his 4 door. He started with them at 30 psi and said they rode rough and said 24 psi made the ride better.
I have zero motivation to downplay the milestar's and am actually strongly considering them in 37's. Kevin told me last month that the milestar's are made of a softer/stickier compound and most people would prob get 25-30k miles out of them. Do you personally know people running milestar's past 30k miles?
I have mine set at 32 and they ride absolutely great. Much softer feeling than the stock ko2 I do have the 315/70 r17 which are d rated so will give a much better ride. Lite brite has 38s which are c rated. Not sure about 37s. I would not run any E rated tires on a Jeep if your looking for a good ride.
Thanks for the solid info. This may be informative for @CarltonWe've got over 15K on the 37"s that are on the boss' JLUR, so I went out to take a few measurements to see how the wear is.
15K+ on 37" Patagonia M/Ts, daily driver, city, highway and off road abuse are showing about 6/32nds wear over those 15K miles, that's pretty dang good for a fairly aggressive mud tire that rides and drives great. We're guessing these will go another 10-15K, which will put us right in that 25-30K life.
12/32nds average tread height after 15,000~ish miles:
Compared to brand new Patagonia 37"s with 18/32nds:
Mileage Disclaimer: The last couple wheeling trips they've been swapped out for a set of 40" Patagonias and then it's usually a week or two of daily driving before the 37"s get put back on, so mileage data isn't perfect.
