Milestar Patagona M/T tires have been suggested to me. https://www.milestartires.com/light-truck-tires/patagonia-mt/
I've searched but don't see any reviews on this forum. If there are and I just missed them links would be appreciated.
Northridge 4X4 thinks a lot of these tires. Apparently so do many offroaders in the PNW and in the South with its greasy mud. Four Wheeler tested them in Moab, Wyoming and South Dakota and gave a thumbs up. Forum reviews tend to be positive and the prices are quite good, e.g., a Milestar Patagonia 315/75R16 D load rated MT tire typically sells for $200-215 ea. compared to $260-320 for a similar size from one of the "name brands."
Does anyone on this forum have experience with them? I am interested in first-hand reports of mounting or balancing issues, highway handling, offroad performance, durability and resistance to trail damage, and longevity.
I am particularly interested in the 315/75R16 and 315/70R17 sizes.
I realize that these tires are manufactured overseas for Tireco, Inc., a private label tire marketer and distributor founded in 1972 and headquartered in Southern California. Although I would prefer to purchase tires manufactured within the U.S, I am not particularly interested in Buy American jingoism because that's just politics and has nothing to do with the tires themselves.
What say you?
