Just got the newest MT Baja Boss tires and they are awesome. Decent weight, good grip, quiet on the road, nice warranty.

Those are heavy (as are most if not all MT/hybrid tires). Have heard great things though.

I'm a fan of the KO2s as well but they run smaller and they have really jacked the price of them up in the past year. Last year i could get a set of 37's for $1600 out the door, now it's closer to $2000.
i just picked up the C rated KO2 on tire rack for 380 each.

Yeah, I got quoted $1600 out the door at NTB for them but I know they only measure 35.6 mounted and I'd like to get something that measures at least 36.2. They measures 35.6 on my JKU so I'd imagine with the JT being heavier they will probably be less than that. Don't get me wrong, love the tire, just wish they were bigger

Do you know how much these weigh a piece by chance. I can get a set of the Mud Hogs for a $1,000 from a guy. Can't find no info on the weight though.

Those are the ones I am considering but dang, almost $2000 a set. The are in my weight range though and definitely look good
I've got 16K miles on them and I estimate less than 30% wear. They are cheaper than a lot of the more well known name brands (Goodyear Duratracs, BFGs General Grabbers etc). I think they are a good value. But I hear you - pricing is relative.

I have the GEOLANDAR M/T® G003s - on 35s. They are GREAT on the highway (I drive 70miles round trip to and from work all at 65+). No noise. Great in the rain. Awesome off road and they look good too.
I have to ask, compared to what ha? NO NOISE? Always watching tires, but I suspect your drive would be much quieter on a different tire. You just are used to the noise or initial tires were loud....

But I'd sure love to find a no noise M/T, I'll research the Geolandar

What size are these mounted on your Jeep and are they 37's. Strongly considering these because a few places I called have go them on sale and are offering $100 rebates.

I can't run a 13.5 wide tire on my stock wheels. If I could they would be on my jeep but I'm not buying new wheels, I really like my black stock steelies.

Looks like there is a national back order 9nna lot of the discounted name brand tires, 4-8 weeks, some more. $1030 mounted for a set of the kanati trail hogs seems like a steal. I found them online but not cheaper than $1300 before mounting. I've never ran a set of the Kanati tires but have always wanted to try them out so looks like they are the ones I'm going to throw on. All the reviews I have read and videos I've watched seem to point to them being a solid option. Taking a Half Day today to go get them.
