What is your current set up?

I have been using the factory JTM tires. I don't know what the best tire is but I have noticed that when I air down to 20 or so the ride is very good over gravel and washboardie. I also know that JTM's will ride better over this type terrain as opposed to the JTR. Not that that is bad it's just a different ride.

Ko2s I have heard last a long time.

35” Falcon Wildpeak Mts..have about 33000 on them now and they are down to close to 1/8 “..

"walmart" duratracs (Goodyear Wrangler Authoritys) are a solid tire, I've had them on 2 different vehicles. I call them walmart duratracs because they can only be purchased at walmart (some special deal between them and goodyear). BUT, they're a quality tire, A/T (but could pass for an M/T honestly).

Also had good longevity out of KO2s

I do oilfield work, lots of washboard caliche roads. We go through tires like crazy.

KO2s don’t last. They lose chunks of tread fast. They’re so bad that the company refuses to use them. (The factory tires on my Silverado fared better)

Wildpeak ATs are outstanding and don’t have the KO2 issue

currently running Nitto recon grappler ATs on my company truck and they are just as good as the wildpeaks they replaced.

Do you guys stay aired up?

Do you guys stay aired up?

yes. We do just as much highway driving as dirt road driving.

Yeah that's kinda what I figured. I don't know if airing down gets you any more miles on wear anyway

For Dirt/Gravel roads
Air down, disconnect sway bar. Live with reduced tire wear
Keep your speed down for low pressure.
A/T tires last longer than M/T tires. BFG KO2/3 are a good bet for higher life?
Air up for highway use

I have a 22 JTR with 315s. KO2 and have several days of Death Valley and Anza Berrago aired down to 16psi. They are great and no chunking or tire damage. They ride smooth and quiet on the highway.
