I threw one on the scale one time, I forgot what it weighs but I justified it by how much droop I gained…Beadlock wheels can add 15+ lbs per wheel of unsprung weight. This impacts braking, acceleration, and handling. For me, it was very noticeable.

What other factors are at play in tire bulge besides load range and number of sidewall plies? Manufacturers use those two factors to match weight of the vehicle and it’s tow capacity.In my experience and observations there are too many variables at play to simply point at load range and sidewall plies.
All I know is that my load range C Patagonias rode about the same as all my prior E range tires, which was nothing I would ever complain about. Though the overall performance was notably awful. And my current C range MTRs are the best riding and best performing tire I have had on the Jeep. The difference was immediately noticable in every scenario I put them into.What other factors are at play in tire bulge besides load range and number of sidewall plies?

Most of our rigs weigh around 4,000-4,750lb’s. We definitely don’t need a load e tire. I suspect with the Coyotes you’ll run the 17” MTR’s that come in C load.
I just read that the Patagonias have been re-made to avoid all the problems. New compound, new design. I think you should give the new set a try.,All I know is that my load range C Patagonias rode about the same as all my prior E range tires, though the overall performance was notably awful.

There sure are a lot of them in the videos from Easter Jeep. Even Bleepinjeep had them on their rigs and he's more of a swamper guy.I just read that the Patagonias have been re-made to avoid all the problems. New compound, new design. I think you should give the new set a try.,![]()
See my EDIT above! I see the same thing here. I can’t count the number of FB post praising Patagonias. At the same time the number of complaints tire shops get is off the charts. Thus the total makeover.There sure are a lot of them in the videos from Easter Jeep. Even Bleepinjeep had them on their rigs and he's more of a swamper guy.
Anyone who thinks the Patagonia is a great tire would be happy with any tire.I just read that the Patagonias have been re-made to avoid all the problems. New compound, new design. I think you should give the new set a try.,
EDIT: they are very popular up here in the INW. I’m not surprised as they are Jeep idiots. Everything is RE, RC, Shittybilt, and if you have MC that is da bomb.I’m thinking of moving just to avoid depression.

So if I sponsored you, you would run a set of Pat’s?Sponsorship

What I think is interesting is that Matt's Offroad recovery has them on ALL their vehicles, including the new trailer he's building. He doesn't really say much about them though...which can be telling. He's plugged Barnes, Yukon, and others...but Milestar has only gotten a passing mention here and there.Sponsorship
Milestar says it all. They shine for the first mile.What I think is interesting is that Matt's Offroad recovery has them on ALL their vehicles, including the new trailer he's building.

Are those the mopar JL beadlocks? That is a sexy wheel. Been watching marketplace for a set myself...I find em for 1500 to 2k often...but for that money, I'd rather buy something with the correct bolt pattern.These are 33's on 17" with 2.5 lift and 1.25 body lift. Don't do any hard core rock bashing but they work fine for what I do. 4:56 gears too. Sounds prettu much like what you were planning. If I was bashing, I'd go to 15's with beater rims.

Thanks for pushing me ahead. I still owe you some $$$I frequently run 4 psi with the load range E’s the tire doesn’t seem to flatten out near as much as my old 35 x 12.50 x 15’s at twice that pressure. Just bite the bullet and get some standard bead locks, there is also the valve stem protection the ring offers to add to the pro’s.
