Patagonia M/T-02s Reviews

[Bradley Thornton]

Please add your review good or bad update if needed.

Patagonias are loved or hated but one thing is for sure in the world of tires they are cheap. (Something I would like to point out the M/T-02s are the newer tires with a higher Ply/harder tire, Should last longer than the older M/Ts and not as many reviews)

Tire coming from (37x12.5r17 KM3s) (D-Rated)

New Tire size (38s 38x13.5r17) (D-Rated)

Miles on new tire (3,500 miles)

Tire noise (Very quiet)

Performance (Great)

Best Price you could find (Walmart/Sams)
I did see someplace have sells from time to time buy 4 get one free on this Forum.

How well do they balance (They did OK they did Balance but it took a good bit of weight) My M/T Patagonias C-rated took less (But the M/T-02s D-rated took about the same weight as the KM3s that were 37s)

Review
I had KM3 before, also have KM3s on my F150 both sets of tire are louder day 1 then these are. And the KM3s got louder after about 15k miles.
So the M/T-02s are super quiet and the performance are great. 2 of my jeep buddies have made the swap after seeing how quite they are and the performance.

Im also curious on how the MT02's are doing for people. I am currently running the patagonia XT's on my f-150 an have been very happy with them thus far. I like the look of the MT02 and would consider it for my bronco so long as the wear is 40K or more.

Interesting. What did you do to make the 38's fit?

Short answer 2in zone spacer lift. But I didn't use but 1in 3/8s up front plus the JKS max tire kit.

I've been on the MT's (not the MT-02's) for a while now... My experience has been very good. No unusual wear or issues until my last serious off-road run. I tore 2 large lugs off the right front tire. Now, they have over 35,000 miles on them and around 4 years old.

Based on the changes made to the tire, I would try the MT-02's.

The Patagonia's either generate a love or a hate relationship, I've almost never seen anything in-between.

Look on a jeep Forum. It's love or hate. I will say 90% of the hate looks to be self inflicted just my opinion. They are made to run on the center of the tread people will run way less air pressure then the tires call for. Then say uneven wear stuff like that. Some say they wear very fast. Say X tire gets 50k mile but cost $500 then this tire cost $250 they expect to get 50k miles and only got 30K mile so they are mad.

Interesting. What is the minimum inflation to prevent uneven wear?

Thats a trick question depends on the Rating of the tire. I mean if it calls for 50psi some will say 50psi. My rule of thumb is no less than 35-38psi on daily driving. Now Offroad you can run as low as you feel safe. It's the daily driving we are talking about.

What scared me off was people say they are horrendous in mud. Fantastic on dry rocks though.
