That’s all I could find when I was looking at DT and DTD as well

Yeah...the d load is made for heavier vehicles and wont flex/absorb as well on a JL. The post above claiming 37" Pats ride quality blows away 315/70/17 load c ko2's is comical. I've driven both back to back at same psi...the ko2 load c is as smooth/quiet as a hwy tire. It reminds me of when people claim their gas mileage improved after they go from a 35" to a 37" tire in the same tire.

My 37s delivered to our tire place....I'm considering selling them before I mount them and ordering 38s. However, I dont want to lose $ selling them and have to regear the 6 speed with 4.10s.

I have run KO2s in two different sizes load C and load E and also the KM2 on my JL/JT and in all cases they were STIFF. Yes, they roll smooth and don't vibrate, but the overall ride quality is crap. When I put the Milestar M/T load range D on the Jeep, INSTANT relief. No longer felt like I was riding in a tobacco wagon. There's something about the construction of BFG tires that makes them ride harsh. So no, his claims aren't comical. I've seen the same thing.

What psi? The 315/70/17 ko2 rides great at 28 psi cold. I drove the ko2 and milestar back to back and the milestars and I could hear the milestar's and feel their lugs when stopping. The ko2 is silent and smooth...no comparision IMHO.

heck I drove mine at 37psi and it was fine-same k02 size as you. However my 37s pat's are better probably in every way on the road. This will likely change when the miles rack up but I am very happy with them. Still it shows how everybody is different.

Side note: I am completely surprised at how well the 3.6 with the auto handles the larger size. Still fun to drive, brakes handle the stopping quite well too. I can see why so many dont change from 4.10's to whatever. I'm going 4.88s this week but not out of any real necessity.

There's your problem...37 psi is way too much for the c load ko2....they'll ride like a brick. I did a chalk test and 28-30 psi allows full contact patch and rides like a dream.

I didnt have a problem with them. Thought they rode fine. Same for the Pat's.

Got mine in today. Mounted one on my spare for fun until my wheels get here Friday!

315/70 on the stock sport wheel

Pretty much 4" taller than the stock tire. Could probably run them like this on stock wheels with spacers. (I'm on rubi suspension) but I wouldn't be getting any offroadin done.

Just so you all know that Amazon had Cooper STT PRO 37x12.51r17 on sale for 269. and Discount tire matched the deal for my bud that bought tires last week.

I have a coworker who has Milestar patagonia MT 37x12.50x17 5 tires Brand new, never mounted and is asking $1150 for all 5. Is this a really good deal? It's not the tire I wanted but if it's a killer deal I'll jump on it

discount sells them for 224 plus tax and other fees. I would call them and get an out the door price and also a price on mounting/balancing the ones your referring to.

In case anyone cares. I weighed my 315/70/17 K02 with stock ruby wheels and then my 37" pat's with Fuel wheels

82lb vs 102. So 20lbs a tire, wow.
