Bought a sting gray 4xe Rubicon in October. I put 35" Toyos on Method bead grip wheels before I even drove it, then put AEV bumpers front and rear with a Warn Zeon winch, changed the stock black fenders to chopped new paintable Mopar ones that I color matched, added Terraflex 3.3 adjustable shocks on a 2" spacer lift (for now, until springs are available for the 4xe) and metal fender liners. Also has tons of LED lights, rock lights, fog lights, rear chase lights, and even interior blue LEDs, all attached to a Switchpro 6-button controller.

Just got back from my first trip to Moab and it performed wonderfully.

Time to add mine. 2022 Sahara. Actually lucked into some Rubicon 4xe takeoff wheels (little blue Jeep!) on Craigslist - without rubber. I put on BF Goodrich Trail Terrains, 265-70R17. These turn out to be almost exactly the same overall diameter as the stock 275-55R20's. I couldn't take the rubber-band on wagon-wheel look of the stock Sahara 4xe wheels.

I chose the Trail Terrains over the KO2's because one of the primary reasons we were drawn to the 4xe in the first place was fuel economy. We traded in my wife's Cherokee Latitude front-wheel drive 2.0T which would routinely get into the 30's for MPG on road trips. In our driving routine, which involves my wife's daily drive to work, then adventuring together on weekends, we do about 50/50 electric/gas miles. According to the MPG meter, we are getting 30-to-34 MPG the way we use it, charging on level 2 whenever it is parked in the garage.

Anyways, the Trail Terrains are touted to have low rolling resistance, and they are a lighter tire than KO2's. Our off road use will be mainly on trails not too much tougher than seen here. The Trail Terrains are advertised as a light duty AT tire, but primarily a road tire. They are still an improvement over the stock HL Alenza all-season tires for off-roading in my mind. As my wife's daily driver, we're keeping it mild, efficient, and civilized.
