Replacing my stock Mojave tires for some more AT tires?

[NC_Overland]

What’s your tire pressure? pretty much all tires on a gladiator drift a lot at 38 PSI or higher.

kenda rt good tire for the money

The Kenda Klever AT2's are a really good looking tire as well. Rated well, quiet, aggressive look, and not as expensive as the Big Boy brands. I'm very happy with mine.

The OP might have the optional M/T Falkens.
I have the standard Mojave Falken ATs and I like how they ride and handle. Plus they are great in rain and snow. My biggest complaint is the weight - I believe they are around 60lbs each which is heavy for a 33” tire. Compared to my prior JLU Rubicon, it feels like I need to give the Mojave more gas to get the tires rolling(I know this is also partially due to the gladiator being heavier).

Due to the weight, I eventually plan to replace them with either the BFG KO2s(Around 50lbs) or possibly a “P-rated” AT tire like Cooper AT3s or firestone AT2s(both in the 40-45lb) range.

I did lower mine down to 36 which did help with the drifting.

I have used KO2 on three different Jeeps and now the gladiator. They are great and are on the lighter side.

Lower a few more psi and see what happens. Your tires will wear better also

Try a set of the Overland take-offs. They are street tires, but are quiet. They should work for what you want. You can usually find an inexpensive set in the Marketplace.

They’re smaller and it doesn’t help. Mine drives better and is more stable with larger A/Ts.

I will because they go up in this heat as you drive around 3 to 4 psi.

KO2s

Quiet on the road and good traction off.

I posted these pictures in another post but I think this might help you. I changed my original falken tires from a 285/70/17 to a 255/80/17 same tire. They are about a half inch taller 32.8 to 33.1 and 1.5 inches narrorower. The before picture is without the AEV lift and after is with it. Going with the skinnier tires I picked up about 2 mpg as the tires are about 10 pounds less.

Yeah, I notice on road trips that mine will go from 33-34 psi to 37-38.

Not a huge BFG A/T fan (irrelevant), but I love the look of that white wheel on your white Jeep with the white letters out. That’s a great look.

what wheel is that? I’ve never seen it, but I dig it.

I run 255-80-17E AT3W's on stock wheels. Very stable, excellent traction. I run 46 psi.

Never had KO2s, but like another poster below, sure love the look of those white steelies with the white rig!

OMG your E rated tires and 46pis are hurting my back just reading your post. LoL
