Try the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 tires in 37x13.50r20... That's what I'm running, and they have been great! Even up to 90 MPH on the highway (temporarily passing someone). 3 of the 4 took less than 2.5 oz of weight, and the 4th one took around 4.5 oz or weight. So, they are VERY consistent tires. They're quiet and ride smooth, too. Pull great offroad, and cost almost the same as the Patagonias. I got my from @Discount Tire here on the forum.

@jtforrester any pucks in the front? Sure looks awful level, much rake? If so, did you happen to measure the difference. It looks GREAT!

No pucks, still has the factory rake, it is just hard to see in the picture because of the angle and sloped driveway. I prefer the raked look.

I did not measure the rake, but I did measure various points on the truck before and after. The lift gave 2.5" of lift, the tires gave an additional 2", so I got a total of 4.5" out of the lift and tires both front and rear, so the rake did not change.

Just got my 37s installed and WOW. So much better look than the 35s I had before. Still crazy how normal it looks with such big tires. I thought my Wrangler looked huge with 35s and now somehow the Gladiator looks very normal with 37s. That is until I park next to a stock Wrangler or Gladiator. Now I have to wait a few weeks for the 4.88s get installed.

How does it act with the original gears? I just got done putting on 37’s and I’ve heard both ways, leave as is or change gears. We’ll do some off roading but can’t imagine us doing anything extreme. Trying to understand the benefits of gear change versus leaving as is.

So far so good but I tow a 4700 lb camper so need the power back. Only slightly noticeable difference moving from the 35s but I am sure up a hill lugging a camper will be noticeable.

Update on my Yoko Geo 003 -Great tire so far. Just finished over 1200 miles worth of ground in 3 weeks(2 beach trips to the coast). Super happy with how smooth they are and just a hair louder than my old K02s. Jeep cruises at 80 straight down the interstate without wandering, and the ride is smoother than my Km3.

I like those Yoko Geo 003 MT's... They're a good looking tire. That's good to hear that they're holding up good, and you're still happy with them. I've ran a lot of different makes and models of tires & mud tires, but I'm always making mental notes of other makes and models I haven't used, that others have good experiences with. :like:

Looking for tire suggestions. Working a deal on a new Gator Rubicon and a PO Gobi Rubicon, and hoping I end up with one in the drive. Looking at doing 17x8.5 Icon wheels (TBD) and 37x12.5 tires (2" Mopar Lift). Hoping to keep the unsprung weight down as much as you can on something that size. What does everyone recommend as the best daily driver MT/hybrid. Have run Toyo's, BFGs, and Nittos before, but nothing this big. Appreciate any feedback.
