I took them off at 6000 miles. I wouldn’t buy them again. No one reason why, just overall didn’t care for them.

Three jeeps.Third set? How many miles are on that Jeep?
What tire did you switch to?I took them off at 6000 miles. I wouldn’t buy them again. No one reason why, just overall didn’t care for them.
37” Ridge Grapplers.What tire did you switch to?
37” Ridge Grapplers.
Nice...I read that the 37" ridge grapplers are a good bit heavier at 82 lbs.(12lbs more than 37" Milestar) How much do you feel it accelerating and braking?37” Ridge Grapplers.
Yeah, Nittos are heavy, but I have confidence in them. I notice a little difference, physics don’t lie, but I had already re geared to 4.88, so acceleration is still good.Nice...I read that the 37" ridge grapplers are a good bit heavier at 82 lbs.(12lbs more than 37" Milestar) How much do you feel it accelerating and braking?
Anyone running 38X13.50R17LT 119Q C/6 BW MILESTAR PATAGONIA M/T on the stock Rubicon wheels? Would the wheel width and backspacing be a proper fit?

What minimum wheel width should I be looking for?No they would not.
A 13-1/2" tire on a 7-1/2" rim is FAR from ideal.
Bare minimum would be an 8-1/2”. 9” would be better.What minimum wheel width should I be looking for?
Thanks.
Load range and ply count are the main factors. The Milestars have a higher load rating so they are very stiff compared to stock tires (normally). They are also heavier as a result. To offset the stiffness, you run a lower psi.From this thread I see people run them anywhere from 24 to 32 psi on a highway. The stock Rubicon KO2s are set at 37 psi for highway. I was wondering what contributes to such big difference in the psi? Would such low highways psi make the Jeep unstable and too soft on a highway? Is that matter of the personal preference or the larger tires normally require lower pressure on a highway? Thanks.
