Unreal considering the type of miles you put on. Don't jinx yourself and knock on wood! Roll on!

my most disliked youtube vid is the one i made telling folks that avoiding windshield chips is mostly about driving habits and style. im sure to get a chip sooner or later, i throw up rocks from my own rear tires that make contact with the windshield.

@jlopes68 How are those KM3s treating you? Looking at em for my next set since I'm going through my KO2s fast.

sticky off road tire, they honor their warranty and have replaced one already. if it was my DD i would not recommend them, you will go thru them faster than the KO2s. if you just wheel your rig, great tire!

Was actually hoping they would wear longer than the Patagonias. That they wear faster than the AT isn't unexpected though. Have you been able to drive in snow with them? How do they handle those conditions?

snow, mud, soft sand, rocks, waterfalls you name it they conquer it. very sticky and grippy tire. generally the stickier off road tires do not perform for long on road. these perform great on road tho as far as road grip and cornering and noise. they are great. we did all 3 badge trails in big bear this week then barreled down the hiway coming off the mountain. as far as longevity of life, i never expected these to last much more than 20k, i have about 14k on em now, looking at em id be hard pressed to say theyd go more than 25k

 

[jlopes68]

Brand new vs 14k

There is so much to this topic but I'll just put a like out to combat the tailgaters on your video.

18k miles with the original windshield, and hope that I didn't just jinx myself either.

Must say that I've been impressed with the Patagonias, but I'm still curious about them vs the KM3's. I'll happily wear mine out and watch how you "tuber's do with your alternatives.

lol

I had KM2's on my last Jeep and was extremely happy with them. Maybe I'm not too demanding or I just don't do the hard lines all that often.

Yet.

The milestars remind me of the harder compounds tires like Toyos open country. Good tires both on and off road but not great at either. When you get into the softer compound tires like the Ko3s and say yokahama geolanders they are good on road and great off road, the trade off is wear. Just like in Nascar. Harder compounds last longer but are slippery vs soft compounds which are sticky as heck but don't last. For a good comparison check out some old JL life offroad vids. Mo was running pats and misty was running yokes. She way out performed him off road but only got like 20k on her Yokes, he still has his pats but cant seem to climb shit lol
