Do you know when?

Already out. Some distributors seem to have them already (e.g. https://www.wheelhero.com/product-tires/toyo-open-country-rt-trail?selected=611867). Discount Tire / Tire Rack aren't showing them yet; you'd have to call your local tire shop to ask if they can place an order.

And here is the beginning of the Pizza Cutter thread should you have an interest: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/pizza-cutter-size-list-appreciation-thread.112131/

That's a good looking tire.

C’mon 37/12.50/17/C RT Pro, at least an AT3 by the time my 35’s wear out.

My wheels and fenders need 12.50’s, new high top fenders also need 37’s. Only BFG realizes 37’s are the new 35’s with 37 C’s.

I'm liking this Kenda MT 35x10.5 pizza cutter.

Hello All,

Any suggestions on off road tires that are also good on pavement? I guess not as loud on the road. Also, not super heavy.

I don’t do any heavy off roading. Light trails and fire roads. I would like to get to my long distance camp sights with some quiet(er) tires, but still good off road.

Thank you.

Look at all terrain tires, not mud terrains. Falken Wildpeak AT3W, BFGoodrich KO2, and Michelin Defender LTX A T are popular for light trails while staying quiet on pavement. They ride smoother, weigh less than MTs, and still handle fire roads and camp access without drama.

Well, Nitto makes the worst tires on the market. They finish last in most reviews, nobody has much good to say about them, and what I've seen first hand is that the rain/snow traction is nonexistant with them. But Toyo is their parent company. So, it would be very odd for Toyo to let their performance brand suck so bad if their Toyo branded tires were amazing. And, we can't overlook the recent recall of Toyo and Nitto tires due to the inner construction of the tires actually coming apart. And so I just tend to avoid those brands. There are guys who like them, but that's true of every brand.

Out of all the A/T tires I've reviewed so far, Falken has performed the best. We got a documented 75k miles out of a set of A/T3Ws on a HD pickup recently. And we were running the new A/T4W in 35x12.50 at the same time on a separate HD pickup seeing almost no wear at 20k miles. They hook up like a cat on carpet in ANY weather. They're bulletproof off-road. They roll smooth at every speed. And the ride quality on the A/T4W surprised me. Those were a LT-F rated tire, but the ride quality was immediately better with them. I guess Falken has those sidewalls figured out! Just amazing tires.

Right now we're running the newish Yokohama A/T XDs on one of the HD trucks. They are noisy, ride stiffer, and are chopping a little in the front but that's likely an alignment issue. The traction is good and they are strong tires but I wouldn't try them again. I'm thinking about trying to Falken R/T again soon. I did a brief test with those when they debuted...but I'd like to run them longer and see if they are as good as the A/T4W. When these OE Ko2s wear out on the JL I might try the Falken R/T on the Jeep.

I do have Falken now, but they are mostly road tires. But I do like them.
