Mickey Thompson is made by Cooper and they typically make a good tire. Back in the day, I ran Coopers and was fairly happy with them but since they got bought out by Goodyear, I haven't been too much of a fan especially with their support for woke, BLM and defund the police nonsense. But, that's just me.

I have the 37s on mine. Not a daily, but on the days I drive the Jeep to work and on the highways to the teails, it is quite and rides great vs the stock BFG 33s. Denver potholed commute and terrible Colorado highways.

Caught the Bug
Running 37s on my 24 Rubicon X ... Less noisy than my Trail Grappers were and pretty close to the Ridge Grapplers on our other JL. They didn't balance as easily as the Nittos but that could also be the Mopar wheels and "beauty rings". The Ridge Grapplers on KMC XD deadlocks needed nothing..... But as an added bonus, the Mickey's are "snowflake" rated which, up here in BC, is a requirement for mountain driving in the winter. Given the winter driving requirement, I'd buy the again.

Not the wheels, it’s the tires that caused the balance issue. Cooper is known for being woke and making square tires.
LOL - pretty square for sure. At least, more recently than not. My first set of Coopers were great but subsequent ones weren't so much.

If you rotate them every Saturday, they won’t cup. Not sure what the problem is. Lol

Bob sez that this is by design. There is a problem that while transporting tires, round tires have a tendency to roll away and not stay where they were placed. Square tires are much easier to transport since they stay where they were placed.
