Eventhough it doesn't have 3PMSF, it has a decent winter performance. Well, you live in Philadelphia, you don't need ice traction that much. Anyway, you can check these two article for detailed knowledge.

And I was just getting ready to start a thread asking about comparison between several different Grappler tires (Ridge, Recon, Terra G2, Terra). Would like to know more about the differences and performance. This will help some.

I’m curious about the Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP hybrid. Load range D vs. E, and a few lb’s lighter than the Nitto In 35’s. Not available for a couple months, but the new line appears to be a direct competitor of the Nitto Recon.

I saw on some Youtube comments the EXP is just a rebranded more expensive Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP since Mickey Thompson bought them out. Kinda turned me off from them

I just ordered some locally in the 315/70R17 variety, I'll post up a pic if later this week if I remember I was thinking about the Baja Boss A/T but these are like 10lbs lighter and still look pretty aggressive.

What size wheels will you mount those on? 17 x 17.5?

They will be going on the factory rubicon wheels.

Looks great! Now put some miles on those things and report back. Curious minds want to know! ?
