I don't think I need to be concerned, this is what I was comparing with in store.

I recently bought a set of these from BB Wheels as well. The first pic is the code for the tires that came on my ‘22 Wrangler. The second for the tires I got on BB Wheels. I thought those last 2 numbers were the year manufactured - did they really sell a set from 2011??

Hmm. I hope not.

I suppose I will be calling BB Wheels on Tuesday to clarify.

I emailed the same pics to them as well.

Check out the text under "Other Details". This tire has an 113S rating while the 113T one is $100 more.

Not sure if this means that this is a weaker tire?

The 113S had already been discontinued when I was tire shopping last December. They kept the 113T (Ford) that is ~4 lbs heavier, more narrow tread width, and cost more. 113S was still available from inventory, but if one became not repairable could I get a match down the road. Got ~5 lb lighter than 113T 59lb Toyo AT3 . ( better wet/ ride than the relpaced KO2’s but a bit louder due to a little more aggressive tread.

Well shoot. That means I should order the spare now or just cancel and return with a new plan... Or hope one does not become unrepairable ?

I might just stick with Patagonias at this point. I'm not trying to spend 2k on tires.

See edit- I prefer the Toyo’s so far. Haven’t been in snow with them, but the BFG’s I’ve had set a Low bar. ??‍

Figured out the manufacturing date - only one side of the tire has it. Mine were 4522 so that’s reasonable. (Manufactured in the 45th week of 2022)

After calling in today, I've decided to stick with what I ordered. There doesn't seem to be any issues with the tires, it's just a lower speed rating. I was concerned about availability should I need to order a fifth or sixth down the line. They seem to have plenty so I will just plan on ordering a spare around Christmas time. All in all I'm excited for the new shoes.

Wow. BBWheels shipped yesterday. They are installed as of now! Much better on-road performance was noticeable from the first second. I'm excited to hit a trail and do some camping while my daughter visits her mom over the weekend.
