Best winter tires for 392 (that perform and don’t look lame)

[Bolackey]

Just looked - Jeep.de shows a Wrangler Rubicon 4xe (only drivetrain they show available on the webpage), in white (ALL other colors are a $1500 up charge) starts at 83.500 Euros, which at today’s exchange rate (1.2 USD to 1 Euro) - is $100,200 USD, BEFORE you add in the 19% MwsT (Value Added Tax), which is another $19,000 USD, giving you a grand total of just under $120,000 USD… ouch.

When they migrated to the EURO from the Deutschmark (DM) in the mid 90s, the theory was that the rate was going to be 2 DM to 1 Euro. More often than not, the currency denomination changed, but the price didn’t (zb, 2 DM was supposed to become 1 Euro, but it became 2 Euro, go figure). Locals dubbed the new Euro, the Teuro. (Teuer in German means “Expensive”). EVERYTHING got much more expensive… and that’s not changed.

While we’re on the subject; at the dealer today for scheduled service and I see they have a Black 392. The pic of the sticker is below. The price converts to about $132K at today’s conversion rate!!

BTW, it is a 2023 I believe.

Yes I've watched MANY of this guys' videos and they are great.

This winter has just been super brutal, especially in Ontario so I am VERY seriously considering getting Nokian Hakka's next winter OR just upgrading to Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts cause they just look so good and they also perform incredibly I've heard from pretty much everyone.

Thanks @Turboencabulator @Bolackey @Warped and everyone who chimed in here. I have kept my stock KO2s for this winter and they are pretty damn good - just not the best on hard pack or ice... otherwise this Moab 392 is hard to throw off kilter.

I just drove about 60 km to the dealer this morning, with about 4” of fresh, wet snow on the ground. The autobahn was mostly clear, but with frozen slush. Side roads were barely touched. My KO2s performed very well, as long as I am gentle with the throttle. Fantastic tires!

Damn. Pulled the VIN from the QR code on there, came up with 1C4JJXSJ0NW208870. NHTSA VIN decoder calls that a 2022. “Erstezulassung” = first registered (purchase) date, shows 1 Sep 2025. It’s got a whopping 460 miles on it. It’s not even fully broken in yet.
