Well the lift kit may need to come sooner hahaha loaded the back of the Jeep with all the alcohol for the wedding this weekend. The stock towing springs can't do it. The rear is sagging extremely bad! Lol

I've been running the Cooper ST Maxx 33's for the last 3 years and absolutely love them!! Long wear life and very tough..!
On my Arctic trip I punished them on the Dalton, Denali, and the Dempster highways with no punctures. Great traction..
I have a AEV 3.5" DS lift

Well finally found some trails near my place! Very over grown but finally got some trail rash. Once you get past the initial scratches it isn't too bad haha.
Main reason I'm posting is a 7,000 mile update on the tires. These KO2s are awesome. They handle so well on road and in gravel roads. Even with the trail riding I did it was water holes, mud, grass and brush, and sand. The mud was no issue at all. Never felt like I was loosing traction and never lost momentum in the water. Also climbing steep grassy hills was no issue at all either. The grass was pretty moist as well! Now the sand did clog up pretty bad on the tires and did feel some slippage. But the Jeep still made it through without any issues.
All in all these tires are amazing and would recommend them to anyone looking for new tires!
Forgot to add! Huge rain storm about three weeks ago. Highways were flooded pretty bad. Didn't hydroplane at any moment! I know the old KO had that issue. But definitely didn't have any hydro planing at all!
Glad to see you enjoy those KO2's. They are amazing shoes.

Glad your liking the tires. I personally have the General Grabber red Letter in 35/12.5r17 and love them. I am also running an AEV 2.5 lift that is fantastic.
