Anyone running Gladiator X Comp M/T tires?

[Tjrubicon]

I’m looking to purchase some new 35 inch tires for our Jeep. My initial plan was to buty BFG KM3s but with the price these tires are at now wondering if I should consider the XComps. A set of 4 BFGs are going to run me nearly $1500. I have found I can get a set of 4 XComps for $750. I am curious if anyone had any feedback on the XComps? These will mainly be used off road. Some local driving on weekend. We trailer our Jeep for most our trips and I currently have a set of 33s and I can put if we need to do a lot of in town or highway driving with the Jeep. I appreciate any input.

I've seen and heard too many things about cheap quality off-brand tires coming out of these Asian countries to ever recommend anybody buy them.

Buy once, cry once, that's my motto.

So these are Asian tires. Damn that’s unfortunate. I read online they were an American company.
Just a post of what it said “Gladiator tires is an American brand, owned by American Pacific Industries, which also owns Zenna and X-Comp tires”

Guess you can’t trust the internet lol.

Thanks Chris for your input.

They are owned by an American company, API, out of Scottsdale, Arizona. But they don't manufacture them in USA. They are manufactured in China and Thailand.

Just like a lot of American companies, they manufacture products all over the world to save costs. Remember the good old days when Bestop made quality USA tops and lived up to their name?
p.s. BF Goodrich tires are made in the US, Canada, and CHINA.
