Any experience Kelly Safari MT?

[ThunderFlash]

I went an ordered the Kelly MT in 37, $334 each.
Scheduled for install in 2 weeks.

I'll be curious to hear what you think of them. I've had the Baja Boss in either an AT or an MT in a 35" at the top of my list...but that could change.

I have a trip to Windrock planned at the end of the month on the new tires. I’ll report back on how they do on a road trip and on the trails.

Not to leave you hanging, sorry for the late update.

Review Kelly Safari MT in 37/12.5/17
The trip required 1200 miles interstate driving, I ran 40 psi (warm temp) they drive great, in no way did they diminish the Broncos highway handling up to or above my cruising speed of 70 mph, this was getting me 17 mpg any faster it started dropping. (premium octane fuel)
How loud are they? Very quiet for an aggressive mud tire. They were no louder than the Territory MT at 24k in my opinion, I could not hear the tires over the wind noise. After 15k or 20k it maybe different but as of now they are quite in my opinion.
On the trail tire psi was set to 23 & 18. We had dry dusty roads, gravel, water holes, muddy hill climbs, wet and dry rocks, ledges, you name it. The traction was flawless; tires appear to have no damage to the trend. I was apprehensive going in with no reviews on these tires, I would buy them again without question.

Thanks for keeping me in mind! The outer lugs and voids seem about 1/2 the width of the foot print and look like a proper mud tire. Then the middle tread has much more of an AT form to it. It seems like a good blend. Did you do LR C, D, or E?

I went with the D.
The lugs and voids are large, the center pattern I suspect is why they ride so tame. Side bites are not the largest but are adequate. No one will see them and mistake them for a AT tire that’s for sure.

I think D is the right place for me. I've added quite a bit weight and the GY sidewalls seem to know it.

Ok time for a 5 month/8000 mile update.
These tires are wearing great, no issue with wear patterns.
I run 34 psi cold, 36-37 once they warm up on the highway.
They have gotten louder as expected, nothing my stock radio on 9 volume does not overcome.
I rotated them 3 times now at just over 3000 miles each time.
They have been good on wet pavement, I’ve not had any oh S**t moments.
Off-road they have been great, they can move some mud.
No balance issues.
Overall these get a gold star, I’d purchase again.
