I recently swapped out my Falken Wildpeak A/T3W LT285/70/17 for a set of the Milestar Patagonia in the same size. Since there isn't a main thread for these tires I figure we needed one. ?
I first became aware of these tires when @Savingpvtpyle put them on his truck a couple of years ago. I started seeing them with more frequency on various Jeep-centric YouTube videos, particularly the Lite Brite channel. Keven really puts these tires through hell on his highly modified Wrangler JLU so after reading a ton of reviews and opinions I decided to give them a try.
The main appeal for these tires is the price. They are relatively inexpensive compared to many other popular MTs on the market. They feature a very unique tread design that combines an almost AT tire tread block pattern down the center of the tire combined with widely spaced aggressive blocks on the edges of the tire. This should create a fairly quiet MT with enough bite to get the job done when the going gets rough or muddy. A 3ply sidewall provides ample protection against punctures yet remains flexible when airing down. Watch some the Lite Brite videos for the crazy sidewall flex.
LT285/70/17E mounted on DV8 887 17x9" wheel. I snagged these on sale for $132/ea at America's Tire (division of @Discount Tire )
I'll be posting my review as I get more miles on them. For right now I will say they are not what I would call quiet. They sound like a mud terrain, not an all-terrain. It could be my alignment is off or they just need to break in. Stay tuned....
