I had a set of these on my old 2004 Xterra, 235 80 R17.
I really liked them, wish they came in 255 80 R17, they would be in the running for my Bronco, time to upgrade this fall.
I have been very happy so far, in 35,000km hardly any treadwear
I want to go to 33s but I feel like I should run this longer as they were one of the reasons I decided to pick the BD
I was surprised to really only see this mentioned once before, the Grabber tires on the BD are snow peak rated and significantly more aggressive, and ready to go from the factory. You will likely want to update the BB tires.
Its not surprising to me, my wife has a badlands, and they are really great for what they are. Better fuel mileage, pretty quick with the badlands engine, look good.

Agreed its just an absolute no brainer to get the higher gears with the locker.
Allows you to go to 33s without issue should you desire, and the get out of jail free card that is the locker is really nice.
Here is an aside question, do you we think once the KO2s are out of production in the next year or so that the Badlands will come with KO3 or something else ?
