Milestar Patagonia first week! 38s on my 2 door JK. 

Awesome man! Hopefully I can help you with your decision. So far I pretty much have no regrets. There will definitely be more on these tires to come! What are you running on your Jeep now?

Dylan Conn Nice, how long have you had them? I considered running that tire as well. Considered a 37 again and then was interested in the 39 they have as well.

@@JsGarage I've got 25,000 miles on them and they are only at 15/32

Dylan Conn Wow that’s great!

Thanks! Stock axles with new ball joints, new u joints, unit bearings and teraflex front sleeve. Basically just freshened up stock axles atm.

Tell me about it I had to purchase on the spot seemed to good to be true. Been great at this point. Good to hear good results from you as well.

They’ll be back in stock. I noticed the same thing though in and out of stock a lot. Crazy deal.

@@JsGarage Cool, Can't go wrong with that price. Almost went with 40's but dont want to open pandora box and replace everything I did for 37" few years ago.

region015 Yea I don’t blame ya. Even 37s bring some challenges. 40s are definitely a different ball game.

I haven’t had any issues with the Rugged Ridge carrier and the 38.

@@JsGarage awesome thanks for the reply man!

Yes I did. Wheels are 4.5” bs and spacers are 1.25” teraflex. So about 3.25” bs effective.

Stock Rubicon lockers.

For this specific 6 spd and Rubicon combo I’d say it’s not immediately important but probably should be done. Even with the good gearing of the 6 speed this pushes what the 3.8 can do on 4.10s IMO. If I drove this vehicle everyday I think I’d want the regear honestly. With the A/C on in 90-100 degree weather she’s not so powerful. Without AC it feels okay. Only reason I haven’t changed yet is I cruise roads here and there and like to hit the trails and the 4:1 lo range makes up for the lack of axle gear when combined with the 6 speed. If you have an auto 3.8 Rubicon I’d never consider this tire size without 5.38 gears. I’d also question the 3.6L and 5 speed auto even with stock 4.10s.

@@JsGarage thx Jay very informative

I measured 37” exactly and that’s mounted on the Jeep at 28 psi. 36 psi is max cold pressure for this tire. They claim 37.8” which probably isn’t far from the truth at max PSI and without vehicle weight. I’ll take my spare off and check for a future video. I have a picture of my measurement on my instagram @jeramep.

Please do , that will be awesome! 👍🏻 I’m looking everywhere for the actual size haha glad I finally got it. Thanks man I’m subbing your channel.

Yea they were a steal a year or so ago. $192 a piece was what I paid. Not sure I could pay $345 for them though. Good tires at a lesser price but with the tread life not on par with big brands I’d have to just go with a 37” big brand. Even when they were $300 they had my attention though. I guess the one thing nice is they have this 38” size you don’t see much of from other brands.

I wonder why they went up so much? Popularity? I was originally planning on 37s, but given the price and relatively low weight of these 38s, I was leaning that way. I also typically only put 3 or 4 thousand miles per year on my Jeep, so tread life isn't a super high priority for me.

Popularity could be it as these tires really blew up. The price I got them for I believe was more of a freak thing. Discount Tire sold them for about $300 at the same time I grabbed them. The weight and size was/is appealing to me as well. I don't put many miles on my Jeep either, same or less than you. It's a good tire, especially if you want the more unique 38x13.50 size in a C rating. I still enjoy the ride and performance of my set.

Just because lite brite said air them up all the way doesn’t mean that’s how you should run them. You run them at the pressure suitable for the weight of the vehicle using a load/pressure table. They initially went wrong because they used a chaulk method to make the whole surface of the tire contact the road which was too low. Then they came back with saying air them up all the way. Really the ideal result was in between that. A load/pressure table should be used for any vehicle that has a factory tire pressure sticker usually located in the door jam. This helps you calculate the correct pressure for your vehicle.

Pretty content with noise levels. Compared to other bigger brand "mud" tires I have experienced, these are right with the most quiet of their kind.

Why’s that?

😂

Absolutely! Been thinking about an 8” rear stretch a lot and possibly a couple inches up front.

Synergy makes a great upper relocation kit, a stretch makes a big difference. You’ve got a nice build going 👍🏼👍🏼

RMT Alias Synergy is actually what I was leaning toward. I like their newer dual durometer joints too. Had some of their arms on a other Jeep of mine and loved them. Thank you!

More power would certainly be great. I do have long term plans for this vehicle. We just had a great time in the mud this weekend. I’m really more of a trail guy and don’t really go seeking the worst of mud. I have all I need in gearing for trails. More is always nice but I’m not disappointed at this time. Thanks for coming by and sharing your thoughts!

The only thing I said about them being better than Nitto was the on road comfort compared with Trail Grapplers. I’ve had 3 sets of Trail Grapplers on my road vehicles. Especially on my Jeeps, the E load rating and heavy design don’t make for a very good ride relative to other options. Fine tire otherwise. Better in mud than the Milestar. The 40 is a very different tire than their other Trail Grapplers as well.
