Buy once, Cry once… hopefully hahaha
I couldn’t agree more, last place I want to skimp is on tires. And I’m not actually unhappy with the ko2 I just hate that they look like 35’s on the Jeep. The one thing about the ko2 and The Razr AT is the starting tread depth is 15/32nds so that’s a variable to consider as well
I need tires for my pickup. I think they're going to be Falken AT4W tires.

This is only my personal experience. I have run two sets of Milestar Patagonias. The first set was 35” and the second is 38”. I frequently Death Valley and the Eastern Sierras which are nothing but sharp rocks. I have also taken them to Moab, Vegas Deserts, Mohave and Arizona. I am not easy on them and they have performed flawlessly. I will continue to run them.

$600 out the door for a set of 5!! Can’t beat that, worst case they suck and I’ll be able to get my money back. Best case they’re awesome and I got a killer deal.
$109 a piece with free shipping wtf!
This is a very tempting offer, I’ve been looking at a set of Sailun terramax r/t very similar to these tires same size but there 177 a piece at my local big o tires for 5 tires mounted and balanced was about 1100 with an extra 3 year warranty.
Both are 3 peak rated which is important here in Colorado the terramax have a 45k mile warranty and they are only 67 lbs advertised but can’t find many reviews on them.
The milestars seem like a great deal.

Walmart canceled my order about 30 minutes after placing the order. “We're sorry, we canceled your recent order for your protection because it was flagged by our credit and fraud team. You won't be charged for this order.”
I’ve got them in my cart again but am looking at a thread on the JT forums from someone who ordered them and they sent them different tires. Both Simpletire and Walmart blaming each other. Now I’m scared to try to order them again

I was wondering what was going on with that price I went to simpletire.com and looked at the website and they say the tires are 373.95 per tire so seems there was some type of mess up on Walmart site even when looking at the other options to buy from Walmart they all in that 300+ range.

Northridge has them and With the Summer20 code that makes them $286 each. Discount will match that price. I tried to get @Discount Tire to match the Walmart price but the manager said that was too far out of range for them to match. Was bummed because I hate Walmart LOL

I thought about trying to get discount to match the Walmart price to but figured that be no go from them I’ll probably end up just trying the terramax rt instead.

No I was trying to through the winter with my Ko2’s. I can get a screaming deal on the 37’s or 38’s. I reached out to a fellow Jeeper who has them and loves them. I still struggle with buying non American tires tbh

My KO2's are just getting low enough that I'm thinking about pulling the trigger. I've heard the XT's are excellent in the snow, but I'm a little worried about road noise. The KO2's are the quietest "off-road tire" I've ever run.

The guy who runs the 38’s did mention they were quiet and Great in snow. If you get some please let us know how they are
