Very nice! How did you get the black rhino lettering blacked out?

I realize how old this post is.... but if you are still listening, how have the Kanati's preformed for you ? On paper they are great and are very affordable compared to other tires.... looking to pick up a set, so any information would be greatly appreciated and very helpful.

I realize this is an old thread, but if you're listening, could you tell me what model Gladiator you have and the offset of the wheels your running ? Thanks

I'm running Kanti Trail Hogs on mine in 37 12.5 17 now and I love them. They are almost as quiet as my BFG KO2s were and they are wearing great. Got about 4500 miles on them now and have had a few heavy down pours in my area since I had them put on at the first end of September and I honestly think they handled the rain better than the KO2s.

Mine with the Kanati's on it.

Your Gladi is absolutely gorgeous ! Tires look awesome ! I wanted Gator.. but a couple years too late to the party. I have a 22 on order, going with Sarge green..... saw Gobi might be on the build list, but got tired of waiting for something that might not ever happen.....

Tring to source a wheel/tire package now, but not many wheels I like available right now, lucky I have some time before mine is even built. But I definitely have my eye on the Kanati tires. I haven't seen any chatter on the forums about them, but deep on the web I saw a comment that they are knock off KO2s.. I think they look better, probably function just as well and are much cheaper. I got quoted $251.80 a tire or $1259.00 for a set of 5. Seems like a good deal.

Sarge Green should look great. Honestly I have been real impressed with the performance of the Kanti tires, they are better in the rain than The Goodyear MTRs I had previously and at the very least equal to the KO2s, and that's coming from a die hard KO2 fan. I planning a trip to Brown Mountain to hit some trails Christmas Day if everything pans out and I can report back how they do off road. I talked with a few guys running them locally to me and a couple guys on this forum and have gotten nothing but positive feedback on the tires. If I get 40,000 miles out of mine I'll be super happy for what I have in them. I paid right at $1200 mounted and balanced out the door on 4 of them, so you getting 5 for $1259 is a fantastic deal. Looking forward to seeing your build when yours arrives.

Thanks !! I look forward to hearing back from you after your trip. A nice offroad report would be great.

Now they are out of stock.... I swear if the wheels are available the tires are not and the reverse..... never can get both items in stock at the same time..... not that big of a deal, could buy separately and have them shipped, but then I would loose out on the free mount,/balance...

Also, do you remember how they balanced out ? The only complaint that I have heard is when it comes to balancing them... some said it called for more than 14/16 oz of weight or the machine maxed out and couldn't balance the tire at all. Some said the one's produced during the pandemic were defective and out of round.

I hope pe your trip goes well, make sure you get back to me.

I’ve been on the fence about ordering these for over a year and now I’ve done it!

Do they make those in Black? Also are those stock wheels, noticed the Jeep badge on the center cap. I like them.

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I'm not a fan of the tire sticking out past the fender flairs.

But to address the original topic, I simply went with something a little nicer than the stock Hot Wheels wheel...

This is a hot take, but the Overland trim's wheels with 33's (or better yet, 35's) on it look incredible. Could be a great option to keep OEM offsets. Plus with so many users here taking them off to get aftermarket you could scoop a set for a killer deal

Yes they do have them in black, and no - they're Quadratec wheels made to fit on Jeeps, even so that I was able to use my stock center caps in them. Those body colored center caps are actually the silver ones that came on my Sport S wheels. I bought a Gator touch-up spray can from the dealership and painted them.
