I just got a message from Eibach. I seems they have prototype coilovers on a Maverick! Maybe by this time next year they will have coilovers available for the Sports? Also interesting that they put the new Milestar Patagonia A/T Pro tires on it. I asked @Discount Tire about them earlier but no info was available then. Now Milestar at least has part numbers for them, though they did not respond to my ??? as to date of availability, tire weights or diameters, when I inquired about several 16 and 17" sizes. In the video they say 245/65/17's but if you freeze the video, they were mounting 265/65/17's

Edit/Update 6/24, For those of you who may be interested in the Patagonia Pro A/T tires, in a 245/65/17, it appears Priority Tire, online, has them in stock, for $187. I would check with Discount Tire first but if for some reason you are considering Priority, you may want to read reviews of the company. They have been known to sell old *new stock" tires and not tell the customer. I will say that these A/T Pro's can't be but so old as I believe production didn't start until late 21 and only ran briefly, in Easten Europe, before being shut down, because of the war. So, any old stock would be from then and Priority won't give you a production date, as I understand it.

Priority has now built a plant, to build tires is the USA, with production of many of their listed sizes expected to be available before the end of 2023. So, if Priority will tell you were the tires were made, you will know how old they are.

Also, I decided to put a bug in the Tire Tire Rack's ear, in the hope they will carry them and eventually test them. If you have an interest in these, you may want to do the same.

Appreciate you checking in with us about the A/T Pro!

Still no information internally, however happy to do some additional digging for you.

I take it you're after the 265/65R-17 - correct? (MPN: 24689017)

The post was meant to provide information for the BS Forum community. I don't think the 265/65/17 will fit my Badlands, even with my 2" lift. I think the sizes that would be of the most interest are;
1. 245/75/16 MPN: 2227057
2. *** 245/65/17 MPN: 24552521
3. *255/65/17 MPN 24626006
4. 245/70/17 MPN 24552614

All of the above are XL Load rated!

I'm actually very happy with my Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's but I'm always interested in new tires and have yet to be able to try the Mickeys, in snow and ice.

In my version of a perfect world, there would be a 235/75/16, AT tire, that was as tough as my Mickeys but as good as the average winter tire, in snow and ice. I'm probably less concerned than most about tire wear, so I'd be happy get 30,000 miles out of my otherwise perfect tires. Unfortunately, it's unlikely anyone will build that tire, in any size, as 99% of people are most concerned with how long their tires will last, to say nothing of the oddball 235/75/16 size I'd be most interested in. So, realistically, I can only hope to find a tough A/T tire, that will be the best in class, winter wise. I have some hope that the Patagonia A/T Pro's or the Nokian Outpost A/T, will eventually be tested by someone, Like, TyreReviews.com and proved to be, that tire.

Having had a bad experience with sidewall punctures (3) with my previous, SL Load rated, Cooper AT3 4S, tires I'm now only interested in XL Load rated tires. I was, however, very happy with them on snow and ice covered trails, except for the punctures. I might eventually be interested in trying an XL Load rated AT3 4S but I'd probably want to see some of the other A/T tires tested on Ice and snow before I made that decision. https://milestartires.com/light-trucks/patagonia-at-pro/
