I didn't think to check the winter rating until you mentioned it. These have the M+S designation but not the 3 peak snowflake, which you pointed out. The BFG K02 has handled the best for me on snowy city roads, but the Goodyer Duratrac did better on snow-covered trails. A few years ago I was on the La Sal mountains near Moab, with less than a foot of snow. My 34" K02s had a hard time getting around at a quick pace and I often slid off the trail. Yeah they did the job, but the two Jeeps I was with that were on 37" mud terrains had no trouble at all. Last night I drove the 35" Wildpeak M/Ts on the snow for the first time. I had to be ginger with the throttle from a stop or I'd lose traction, where a narrower K02 wouldn't have slipped. I think part of that is also me getting used to driving a truck with a lighter rear end instead of a Jeep. In time I'll have a better feel for it.

Absolutely

Agreed. The guy that made this video is an idiot!

@@Berserkeroffroad LOL, no not an idiot, just saying as Im looking to upgrade from 33" and deciding on 35" stock or with a level. Looking forward to your next vid with more photos! :)

@@robbyb3184 I have a few pictures on my Instagram, and soon I'll have another video that shows the rig. Classic bait and switch. I like a slight rake so when the truck is loaded it's level instead of the front aiming at the sky.

Thank you!

So far they've been outstanding. Last month I explored forest roads in AZ with them for a week and they took me everywhere I wanted to go. This weekend I'm going to Frostbite at Kansas Rocks, which will be a mudfest.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. We just had a few bouts of snow (like everyone else in the US). I have to be careful with my observations because this is my first truck and it handles differently than my Jeeps did. The MTs did grip but the back end felt light and was more likely to lose traction when turning in snow. My KO2s were also thinner and did a better job cutting through the snow on the road to grip. 35's are better at riding on top of it. A few years ago I was on a snowy mountain pass and my narrow KO2s were a hinderance. The snow was deep, so my Jeep would sink up to the frame rails. The guys with 35s and up could ride on top of the snow (and made me wish I had 35s). So it really comes down to where you need the tire to perform- on the street or trail. Last month I spent a week exploring forest roads in Arizona and the 35" MTs took me everywhere I wanted to go- but a guy on ATs did the same. This weekend I'm going to Frostbite at Kansas Rocks and it'll be a mudfest. That'll give me a better idea of how they do in the muck. My KO2s handled mud surprisingly well, but again, that's because they were narrow and could cut through the slippery stuff. I've had these for ~5k miles and they're already showing signs of uneven wear (time to rotate!). My KO2s looked new after 20k miles.

@@Berserkeroffroad Thanks for taking the time to provide info on your experience!

How about your due range? How many miles average per tank?

Thanks for watching it!

What happened?

It's a respectable group that has its head on straight. I recommend getting more involved with it.

I get in the mid 15's MPG on a JTR Automatic with 35's and 2.5" lift. Stock 4.10 gears.

@@jasunto I find it varies a lot based on my speed, wind conditions, and elevation changes. I try to keep it at 70mpg or a little less. I just drove from outside Seattle to Tucson and the average was 17.5 for the whole trip with a pretty good load of gear. I think the 4:88s helped for sure.

Thanks, man! I find narrating with a VO vs. live allows me to be succinct with what I want to say instead of rambling. I'd rather share more video of my trips instead of making the viewer stare at my face.

Thanks! I installed them on my parent's 2 door JL sport. The Jeep is a little beast now!

not really wide enough

Outside up to protect the wheel face.

When I had 33" MTs with auto transmission I was averaging 18.5 mpg. Swapping to 35s dropped my mileage to 14.5 mpg. However, the power is still there. So I won't be regearing.

@@Berserkeroffroad Make sure your speedo is properly calibrated. You might be getting a better MPG and the computer is still calculating for a smaller tire. I ran 35in tires for a few weeks before going to 37s with a 2.5in level kit and I averaged 18-19mpg and was still hitting 8th gear just fine on the highway.

Max Tow has 4.10 gears with the beefed up wide D44 axles (Anyone building a Jeep should really look at the max tow) It's essentially a Rubicon without the lockers and electric sway bar disconnect, but it has a Limited slip diff in the rear where the Rubicon has open diffs with an elocker. You will be fine on 35s with the 4.10 gears. I wouldn't consider a regear until you go to 37 or higher. Even on 37s I'm still on the fence about gears, but I probably will because getting 8th gear back would be nice.

@@TheVikingSailor on 35s and 4.10s you averaged 19 combined? How are the 4.10s now with 37s?

AEV Pintler. This video explains them a little more. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7CFhqmQm9-8XXk.html

Matte. That makes rattle can touch-ups easier when I inevitably scratch them.

On paper, yes. But you have to overcome the additional rotational mass and rolling resistance, which takes even more skinny pedal.

No. It's still factory. I've had the tires for 15,000 miles and it handles like it's brand new.

It went from 18 to 15.

@@Berserkeroffroad Did they reprogram the computer for 35s? I assume so?

@@photoapeal I did with the Tazer Mini.

That's crazy! I've asked around for almost a year and most tell me 12-13 mpg with that combo. You must be gentle on the gas.

@@Berserkeroffroad I'm running 37in with a 4.5in lift and stock 4.10 gears and I average between 15mpg and 16mpg. If I had 4.88 I'm sure I would be around 18mpg as well. These new JL/JT variants are nothing like the JK. The axles are much beefier and 37in is the new 35 on these Jeeps. You will be on 37in tires soon. I wish I had listened to other JT owners when they told me don't waste money on 35s go to 37s. Just my opinion as I came from the JK as well, but you say in the video you will just trade in for a version built for bigger tires and none of them are designed for bigger tires. They are all geared and setup for the tires they come with. The only reason you can run bigger tires is because they over engineer these vehicles knowing people will throw bigger tires on them. If you sit down and do the math on the diesel vs the 3.6l and factor in things like $250 oil changes, An extra dollar a gallon for gas, dif fluid, etc it cost less to run the 3.6l and with proper gearing tq is not an issue. I test drove a diesel recently and I'll be honest if I was towing a trailer a lot then diesel would be a good choice, but it was sluggish otherwise and I honestly enjoyed driving my 3.6l more. It's your Jeep and your build, but if someone plans on actually wheeling these Gladiators you better get it off the ground as much as those axles can handle and at the moment you can go up to a 38in no problem. I've even seen guys running 40s with minor upgrades. It's really not about the engine like it was in the JK. The 8 speed is so good and if your gearing is setup right it's pretty awesome.

@@TheVikingSailor Just ordered a lift for my Mohave from Teraflex. Planned on 35's until the tech said "no way you should run 37"s. With the HD 44's, 4.10's and 8 speed trans there is no reason not to run 37's.....Then I see this video and think Ok maybe stick with 35's. But I then scroll down and see your comment and of course I'm back to 37's. I'm sure I will change my mind a 100 times along with many sleepless nights before the lift arrives.

37psi

Ok cool thats what im running on mine thx

No. The rake will be more pronounced when I add a winch to the front.

I haven't lost any flex because the tires don't rub on full flex and I didn't change the stock bumpstops.

My 2015 Willys came with 32” tires and 3.73 gears . Perfect match

What didn't you like?

Yea, after posting the video I realized I left that out. Sorry.

Lol, thanks!

Many people, especially newcomers, don't know there are different wheel manufacturing processes.

Thanks. Someone had to give computers competition. But in all seriousness, I've since stopped reading a script.

I put them on my parents' 2 door JL Sport. It's a little beast now!

Grow up little boy!

No, 33's are stock. Just got delivery of my 2022 Gladiator Rubicon and can confirm wihout any doubt... they are indeed [33-Inch LT285/70R17C Mud-Terrain Tires] straight off my window sticker...

You've aroused my curiosity. Which section of my diction do you consider disgusting and vulgar? I do hope this isn't a case of Apophenia.
