You got rid of that beautiful Mojito?
Yea it was hard to let it go...but I got $46k on trade for it when I paid $42k for it three years ago almost to the day. The dealer sold it within a day for $52k! I almost pulled the trigger back in October so I am glad I waited. The Gladiator really is perfect for me and I have wanted one since they came out. A utility/offroad trailer was not in the cards so the Wrangler was a bit of a compromise. Here are a couple of pics of the big day:

How did you end up getting them to balance?! I got the 35s and 6/12oz beads didnt give me much luck. When i got the tires removed i found the beads were sticking to the sidewalls.

my new wheels are going to be here in acouple weeks so i want to find a better way to balance them.

Buddy of mine trying to sell me a set of these at a great price. Can’t decide. I’m a realtor so I drive a lot! Currently running the Baja boss 37 12.5. Rubicon gears have been fine thus far. Y’all running stock gearing with these 38 13.5 XS’s?

Bumping this thread. Any updates on mileage, wear and road handling characteristics? Plenty of info out there about off road but very little otherwise. The motor trend article with 7000 miles suggested the are wearing great whereas the YouTuber in California that did a review on his 2 door suggests they are wearing really quickly. If I could get 25k miles out of a set I will likely pull the trigger next year.

Cheers

Decided to give these a shot 35/13.5/17. Thank you all for posting on this thread.

Just as expected as some of you stated, they are pretty noisy on the road compared to the KO2 and the Nitto Ridge Grapplers I ran before.
I work from home so I don't mind the noise when I do eventually drive it and I have a 2nd car which is my daily. I also have the hard top so I can only imagine running a soft top and the noise levels.

Looks wise, it could be my #1 favorite looking tire. Super aggressive looking.

Only have about 300 miles on them so far and they are wearing evenly. I know that is not a lot of miles but I will check back in again once I reach 5k miles 🙏
