There are only eight 42" Milestar Patagonia MT02's in the US...four on a Stellantis display vehicle and 4 on my rig. 42-14.5-20, DOT compound. Sticky's pending. I helped a bit with development and get the first shot at destroying one. 4 wheeling days on them in the past week, and thus far they are working well and feathering in nicely. New carcass, new rubber compound, slight tread change. I've been impressed.
I've siped tires in the past, didn't note any additional wear issues. Traction was improved in some situations, but the sand/rock that's at SH wouldn't see much benefit IMO. Grooving would however....I'm not planning to groove (yet), want to see what they can do in stock form first. The center lugs are too tight and would benefit from a groover tho. Easy to "tune" a tire this way to your own area.
Until they get production ramped up at their new facility (Vietnam), I'm unsure on price points. And I'll argue the rubber difference between blacks and true DOT's is negligible....since the Black compound at the new facility hasn't been developed yet, I'm pushing for it to be more aggressive/sticky.Nice to see you stumble over here
I am curious how much the 42" stickies will run when they are out. I wasn't blown away by the 40" Black Labels my buddy ran for a while, but for about $420/tire they were pretty decent. 42" sticky Treps are over $1,000/tire everywhere I looked the other day
Years ago I siped a set of 35" BFG Blues. It made a huge difference in snow wheeling and muddy rocks. I too didn't think that they wore worse but I've wondered if Reds would be more prone to 'ripping' if the tread block is sliced up.
Jesse doesn't do turnkey stuff...or rarely. Doesn't have the time.
The open-cell rubber of Red labels suck below freezing. Better off with wooden round blocks.
40" tall at 7psi. 41.66" tall without vehicle weight. Confirmed the free height with a circumference measurement but can't find that right now. 102# on the bathroom scale. 40's weighed 92#.
hey, ya get what I got laying around :p I coulda included a 285 KO2, a 285 STT Pro, a worn 315 PatMT, a trashed 315 KO2, a 315 PatMT02, a 275 PatMT, a 285 PatAT, a 275 Michelin and others....this ain't BigOOn vehicle used, vs new off vehicle, vs dead bald, wtf
Sounds like they're just shy of a true 42?

According to my circumference measurement in Reply15 above, 41.619. Give or take a .01 or three due to 4 days of "wear"...arguably as "42" as anything.
