I’ll check around the forum to see if I can find anything, Marketplace and OfferUp locally don’t have anything. Too bad, I would hate to make you drive far, I am sure someone locally will buy it. I could have it installed locally at Discount Tire or I think even Walmart does it too.
I'm gonna shoot you a DM.

I got the Toyo AT3 because my son said they were the best longest lasting tires ever on his old F250(F rated) and the lightest 35/12.50/C 3 peak I found at 59lbs. Those Hankooks show 70lbs, the Kuhmo’s listed 45 lbs with an E2 rating ???!!. KO2’s are ~64 lbs. the KO3’s appear to be a little heavier, but hopefully the wet traction and rock magnet issues are addressed. The Toyo’s are superior to the KO2’s on both

Yeah I’ve heard good things about Toyos, and I mentioned earlier about a family friend that has a set of Toyo ATs on there 2014 Ford F150 and they have put over 70k miles on them and they are still running strong. $350 a tire is kinda high for my budget right now. And my long term plan with my JL is to turn it into my weekend warrior and toy in 5-6 years. Then I buy fancy 37s for her. I am not sure yet what I am going to buy now, I have an appointment to get my tires rotated and inspected tomorrow. If I can delay it a bit longer, I will. I am just concerned with them since they are getting low on tread and the Jeep’s getting a bit squirrley on the road. Plus I am planning on taking on Cedar Tree #13 and Firebreak 5 #14 at end of this month, new tires might be beneficial for it…

How many miles in ~6 years, is 6 years possibly optimistic ? Want to chance the cheap tires not making it until your ready ? BTW- 35/12.50/E2- 45lbs.

The next 3 years probably will be a max of 7k a year, most of it being in the summer. Besides that Jeep will be sitting for the majority of the year since I will at university and everything is walkable. After that it will increase to 12k or more depending on job situation at that point. And I am not looking for cheap tires, just something decent. If I wanted cheap tires, I would buy used stocks ?. $1500 is a lot for 5 tires and well within reason. Sure it’s not KO3, WildPeaks, Nitto, or Toyos, but don’t need it. Hankooks and Kumho I am considering are both highly rated, plus have warranty for at least 50k miles along with 3pmsf rated. The Goodyears MTs are decent too that I am looking at, but aren’t 3pmsf rated so don’t think I am going to consider them.

Ok, I was gonna shoot you a dm until I realized you're looking for 35's and that I'm a dumbass.
Lol you’re good. I found a set of 37s KO2 with XD rims that weren't super far away from me on forums, but love my current KMC XD rims (since it matches well with String-Gray and Rubicon Black/Red) and if I put 37s on I’ll have to upgrade my axles (running the stock Dana 40s), upgrade the gear ratio from the stock 4.10s, and at minimum a 2 inch lift. I know I could do it that, but I don’t really want to drop that kind of my money in the Jeep right now.
