No I haven’t tried those yet, but I am currently trying Haida869 in 37x12.50x17.
These are decent. The downside for an M/T the tread depth only starts at 18/32” rather then 21 - 23/32” like most M/Ts. However, they are still more true to size than a 37” KO2.
It must also be noted that these tires like the Patagonia must be run at a bit higher road pressure to wear properly. They are not meant to lay totally flat on the road like most tires. The problem with this is when it snows they are downright dangerous until you reduce the pressure down to 24psi. Like the Patagonia they have an orange paint line through the tread on one side and blue on the opposite side. The idea is that the tread between these 2 paint line is where the tread should be touching the road for street pressure (chalk test parameters).
when aired down they do well in the snow and slick roads. Off-road they are nothing special. They pack with clay and tread really is t deep enough for serious stuff. Duratracs do just as well for that and better in snow/winter road conditions.
