Milestar Patagonia MT review.

To add: my KM3s felt much better while driving over baby head sized boulders at about 45MPH

 

Are you surprised though? Cheap tires aren’t good. Good tires aren’t cheap.

 

Mmm... I am only surprised by the fact that they weren't as grippy as I expected in Moab. They weren't bad, but I expected them to be like glue. I am wondering if they changed them when the black label came out.

 

Any update on these? I’m a big Chukar Hunter in Nevada, tires get chewed up easily. Hunting 50 days a year mostly driving up moderately steep rocky roads. Any hope to get 25k or 30k out of them?

 

They are a fairly soft compound tire so I wouldn't expect to get a lot of miles on them in really abrasive terrain (volcanics) like found in most chukar country.

They are excellent in snow though.

 

Sub'd

Online reviews seem good with the exception of mileage.

Several guys I'm impressed with on Youtube, including 'TrailRecon' seem to like them a lot.

I just ordered a set of Patagonias MTs in 265/75 16 to mount on factory steelies. I'll try to update as I use them.

I have a second set of wheels to run a dedicated off road tire, so I'm not super concerned with mileage; the off road tires won't see a ton of use. If I get a year out of them I'm happy with that. My regular street tires are 265/75 16 Destination ATs on factory steelies.

Shop said they've been selling some Patagoioa ATs with no bad feedback from customers, but this is the first set of Patagonia MTs they've ordered / sold.

 

Still happy with them. I hit the trail today and climbed a small but steep hill in 2wd where I previously had to use 4wd with Wildpeak AT3Ws.

You know how steep terrain looks in pictures but I was really impressed with their performance in 2wd and not relying on momentum.

 

I got no off road use, but the on road use so far has been good. They ride smooth and quiet.

I pulled the wheels with the MTs off already and reinstalled the daily Firestone ATs, but will reinstall the MTs for an upcoming Death Valley and Mojave Road trip.

PS I dig an aggressive MT on a steel base wheel. It just looks the business.

 

Bump for more opinions

 

I am getting a set of these in 285/75r16 E rating installed on Wednesday. I’ll be sure to update as I put some miles on them. I drive about 70 miles a day for work on the highway with some camping trips a few times a month.

 

This is interesting feedback, they are cheap tires I guess I am not surprised. I have ran other cheap tires and had similar experience where getting 20k miles meant bald tires. Ever since I spent a little extra and never had the same problem again.
I appreciate the review.

 

The STT Pro's are a super underrated tire in my opinion. Everyone always talks about the KM3's but the STT Pro's have much better traction.

 

Maybe Under rated but over priced

 

I thought Cooper would be lower cost. Dang it.

 

Over priced is a relative term. It all how you think about it get Milestars MT's for 10k miles or Coopers for 40k miles. Are Milestars 1/4th the price?

 

If you only get 10k out of any tire I feel like something is wrong

 

I was just going by what was said by @dlo13 earlier in the thread

 

i don't normally say this kind of thing, but i'd drive that to the mall

 

So I’m 10k into my Patagonia MT’s and they have tons of tread on them. My measuring eyeball says that is 7/16”. I run 36psi front and rear on the hiway. They’ve seen tons of gravel, dirt, snow/ice. The last pair of Mt’s Ihad was Swamper radials and those lasted for about 25k miles before they were unsafe on wet roads. I still think they’re a great tire for the money.

 

How do they do on snow covered pavement?

Probably about as good as any other MT I’d assume
