Looking for the experts to advise if this all makes sense, what you would change in this setup:

MILESTAR PATAGONIA M/T EXTREME TERRAIN 38X13.50R17LT TIRE - looking for a robust tire that is very quiet on roads.

on 17x 9 wheels-12mm offset
2” mopar lift
4:88 gears
Spare tire support bracket

I will likely get another set of winter tires:

NOKIAN TYRES
HAKKAPELIITTA LT3
Size: LT315/70R17 121Q
Which I’ll have mounted on cheaper 17x9 rims, specs show it won’t fit on a 7” stock rim. ?


Will I have any issues with the gears at 4:88 with either set of tires mentioned above?

any suggestions or advice?
did I miss anything?

also got approval from my insurance for the mods. Yay.

I’d go with 37 Toyo MTs, a quiet smooth MT. The Milestars wear really fast and the real world reviews here are lackluster. Choose a winter tire the same height so you don’t have to readjust the speedo every time you swap them.

Thanks so much! I don’t think there is a dedicated winter tire I. 37s. Sadly.

Can’t help you out too much with winter tires, I live in South Texas. But, when I have driven in snow, BFG ATs have always done well for me.
