Kanati TrailHog A/T 245/70/17 tires mounted and I'm happy with the results.

For anyone considering new tires......Been buying tires for a long time......

Here is my advise: American factories produce good tires, (Goodyear, Cooper, Mickey Thompson) European also good (Michelin). Japan also very good (Bridgestone/Firestone). So the RV industry is famous for using Westlake tires on Travel Trailers and 5th Wheels.

Over the decades these tires have earned a reputation for failing and failing in a big way.

These tires are now known for there nickname: China Bombs!

Don't Buy Chinese tires.

What about Indonisia where the Trail Hog is made? Or are they also not capable of making a good tire.

I am intrigued by these tires. They look incredible. Not much info in the usual places I look. But I like what I see. As far as the "china" tag - I don't view that as a kiss of death. Most Falken Wildpeaks are made in Thailand and are excellent tires. If these "chinese" tires are made in Indonesia (and I have no idea if that is true), I'd give em a spin - especially as badass as they look.

That looks like a nice, aggressive tread, do you notice much more road noise? I notice it has 9/16 tread depth, which is more than even most LT tires, and way more than passenger car tires.

There is a little bit of road noise but nor too much.. it's nothing I can hear over volume 10 on a radio.

They do have a factory in Thailand , Indonesia and China so I don't know where specifically they were manufactured but I do know that when we got a flat out about 50 miles from pavement with the truck we also have them on they made it back to the road without coming off the rim or being destroyed. The local tire place was even able to patch it because of where it was and they lasted another year.

@MAR_SOUP_E_ULL It is amazing how a set of tires can change the vehicle so dramatically. It does look more rugged than factory. I can see why it would turn heads. Great job!

I am really liking my Kanati Terra Commander 245/70/17. No issues so far also. https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/big-tires-for-bs-badlands.4587/post-142215

I almost went with those but when I went to order them they didn't have 4 in stock. A buddy of mine is gonna order some for her Taco since she liked the look of mine and has been out with me in places where her Wildpeak A/T 3'S punctured and the Kanati's didn't on the other truck we have.

After much comparison and availability in my area, I went with the Kanati TrailHog A/T 245/70/17 and I couldn't be happier. Haven't noticed much change in fuel but did notice a bit of a weight difference. Also I took the kids out to a canyon I went through before the 1.5" Rough country leveling kit / tires and noticed better handling getting out of the silty sand and over rocks. Wyoming has some pretty rugged terrain in most places so I went with these for that reason. They also handle well in our snow and terrible road conditions.

Another bonus is I ordered them off of amazon's Kanati store, out the door delivered to my house they were $750.00 and I took them down to Les Schwab to have them put on and aligned.
We also have these tires on our Power Wagon in 37's and have never been disappointed in handling. If you want to peek at what they offer, here's the link https://www.amazon.com/stores/KANATI+TIRES/page/606C1E16-F4C7-46BF-8D75-4ED676C271DA?ref_=ast_bln
