You can't buy them without getting a set used from hardline/ pirate/ CL or getting a sponsorship from BFG. I was joking.

"Red Labels" are a extremely soft compard tire that work wonders in the rocks, and with that, they are a trailer only tire. They are rather easy to get and one of the cheaper options for sticky tire. If you race it's easy to get a sponsorship from them, as I can get racer pricing, but as of right I'm running the Maxxis sticky Trep.

I would consider the mtr or grapplers. Never seen a set of km2 impress me, and they usually measure a lot smaller than what the sidewall says.

I am on my second set of 37" PBRs that I daily drive. Had 16k miles on the last set and sold them with about 30% life left. Just wanted a fresh set for jeep beach //smoke// They balanced well, no issues with them being rough on the highway. They do have some road noise but not near as much as a km2 OR mud grappler.

I have 37 pbrs on the TJ.  Sidewalls are very stiff and take a lot of time to break in.


Not bad on noise, but they do get flat spots sitting that take 5 minutes or so to work out when the tire heats up.

Really how do they do on the road for your daily? Mpg?
They have been great so far, but they've only been on for 2 months or so. They are lighter,but bigger than my last set up, so mpgs didn't change.

I think that the MTR/K is good on road and offroad and I notice the lighter tire when driving on road.  Sidewall flexes easier when you air down.  My bias is for onroad usage most of the time.  If I were offroad most of the time it might be PBR or Toyo.

Get the tread pattern you think is the prettiest...all of the tires mentioned here will perform very well on and off the pavement, even the km2.

I don't know, those Toyo's I had were heavy and not near as sticky on the rocks.

Great off road,
Great on road,
Soft sidewalls,
Longevity,
Available in the popular sizes,
Priced fair

Truth. No flex or grip.
