Jeep worthy 35's that are quiet on Hwy

[Jeeperjamie]

Any chance you can share fuel economy from going stock to the kenda klevers? I assume you went with the 35/10.50R17 which I am eyeing as well, just worry about mpg difference. Glad to hear that they are quiet on the road!

Any updates on the cooper AT3's. I'm getting close to buying a new set and still got these on my short list

I ran a set of 37x12.5r17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my JK for about 60k miles. Did a 5 tire rotation every 5k miles with my oil change. I couldn't even hear them, they were so quiet.

Only negative is that they suck in mud and I'll be going to cooper stt pros this time around with the JT.

Milestar Patagonias (37's) are actually very quiet so far. Don't hear much of anything.

I ran cooper at3 xlts on my ram for 30k miles. Quiet tires that had a decent sidewall look but more of a highway terrain center.

On the JTR I'm running grabber ATX, just as quiet but a much more aggressive side wall and true AT tread. Between the 2 I'd go ATX of you are going to off-road at all or at3 if you are just gonna do truck stuff

I looked at those General Grabbers but the weight is to much. I'm trying to stay 72lbs of less and those weigh almost 80lbs a piece. They seem like good tires though. How often did you have the ram off road because I've heard from people local running the Cooper XLTs that they do great off road. I'm not rock crawling or anything, just fire roads and minor trails. I'm also curious what a 37 measures out to be mounted.

Are you looking at a different General Grabber than the ATX? The 35x12.5r17 is 62.9 pounds a tire. The 37x12.5r17 is 69.6 according to the manufacturer, and that jives for me as mine were about 70 pounds a piece for 37's. Are you looking at Discount tire for the weight? If so they're WAY wrong.
For 37's the manufacturer goes with 69.6 tire rack measured and said 73, i got 70-71 pounds. Tire rack says the 35's are 65 which sounds about right as well given the manufacturer says 63 is average.

For the cooper xlt's On dry gravel they were fine, on mud not so much, a lot of slipping even in muddy grass with the LSD. They were a great highway tire but these ATX dont give up much of anything in highway with a much better off road experience for me.

I can measure the 37's mounted tomorrow, they're a "large" 37 though, not like a BFG who typically loses 2 inches.

We weighed a General Grabber ATX at a local tire shop to me because I was interested in a set, they weighed roughly 78lbs in a 37 12.5 17 based on a standard floor scale we put it on. Milestar pats and MasterCraft MTX were right around 70lbs maybe 71 and BFG KO2s were like 68lbs all in the same size. Some others were way heavier, up over 80lbs like a Nitto and Toyo tire And some other no name tires. I like the look of the General Grabber though the weight gives some concern. Also the $492 a piece price tag.

That's surprising it weighed so much. Mine weighed in at 70ish a piece. The grabber x3 with red letters was much heavier and aggressive so I stuck with the regular atx.

If you are a sam's member they're 340 a pop here locally instead of tire racks 500 bucks.

Will sam's mount 37's, they wouldn't mount 37's for me at the Kannapolis Sam's. They would order them but said they didn't mount them but if Discount Tire really price matches they should honor that price and mount them for $140 like they did on my Goodyear's or that's how it should work. Can you pull a measurement on them for me and I'd love to see a picture of them on your Jeep. It may have been the X3's we weighed because I think they did have red letters. It was a great looking tire just a little to heavy for me.

 

[bleda2002]

They wouldn't mount mine but I have a local shop that mounts 37s for 20 a pop so i had them order and then just took them over.

Just did measurements, im at 31 psi right now as we went off roading this weekend and measure 36 almost exactly in the rear and 35 7/8 or so front. Filled to 37 probably good for a couple tenths of an inch. These are on warn 17x8.5 0 off set rims.

Wow, those numbers are way different from the manufacturer and the distributor sites (which is all I had to go on when ordering). I hope I’m not going to be upset when my Open Country AT3s arrive!

My research online indicated:

I've been running the cooper AT3's since December, and have about 12k miles on them. Very quiet, and very good road characteristics including towing. Probably the best road characteristics I've had on an AT or MT on a jeep, and I've run Toyo Open Country, Mickey Thompson ATZ, and BFG K02 kevlars.

Are they 37's?

Milestar Patagonias (37's) are actually very quiet so far. Don't hear much of anything.

I had their sister tire the Nankang Conquerer AT5 on my lifted WK and was very impressed overall with the quality and noise. Quieter vehicle overall probably but still.
