I listed my KOs on Facebook Marketplace or whatever it's called and sold them in a day for $650 (with 14k miles on them) I probably could have gotten a bit more. Then Discount tire price matched Wal-Mart so the Wildpeaks were $231 which came out to ~1400 mounted and balanced with warranty and all.
I know this was six months ago...but an update became necessary. With four passengers and a small amount of luggage, the 315s are rubbing in the rear relatively easily...not even off road, just speed bumps taken too fast. Again, I am bone stock except for these tires. Adding 1.5 Teraflex (modified) this weekend to resolve the issue. I might have to add spacers too...we'll see.
Thanks for the update.
Many of the modern AT/MT tires are designed in a way known as the ‘hybrid tread blocks’ so that the outer tread blocks are ‘different’ and tapered in to not actually make full contact while on-road, (they are designed for better traction on un-even surfaces). They do this for an ever striving goal of better on-road mileage, quieter ride and generally better road handling. So if you do the traditional chalk test, you will definitely under inflate the tires. Many have already attested that even at something like 20 psi you would barely rub off the outer edge.
That is good information. How do I know how much air to put in??
You can see this hybrid design in the Wildpeaks, and very prominently in tires like the Goodyear Duratracs. The dense vertical central blocks are designed for better on road performance and the loose horizontal outer tread blocks are designed to aid off road traction. When you go off-road and air down significantly the tire wraps around everything then the outer blocks come into play.
Thanks for the update
