I'd take the Dick Cepek's over a Milestar any day of the week. The Milestar's are certainly the cheaper option but you're starting to see a shift in people who jumped on them to start moving to a different tire. It's the price point that draws people in. They're chunky so they have a unique look to then, I get it. My opinion, others will vary, take it with a grain of salt.

I’m running 37/13.50/20 Pats on my Jeep. They are incredible!! I’ve had so many sets of mud tires over the years and some have broken the bank and not lasted, some have been super cheap and lasted longer than I thought. My first impression of the Patagonias was the smooth roll and wicked quiet drive. I wasn’t sure what was happening. I actually love(d) noisy mud tires. But now I’m in love with the sound of silence!! They are wearing perfectly. I will certainly buy again in the future. Just my thoughts. Good luck in your search.

Just a bit of a hijack regarding China. Friend is a Chinese business guy and his response when we tease him about Chinese quality is " everyone expects Chinese made products to be cheaper so when you get the cheap products you get the low quality". But China does make high quality items if you want to pay for it.
I am involved in the oil industry and tried to get a combination oil viscosity and density meter here. Not available as a combination I was told. Had to buy them individually for about $14,000. Got a $1500 combo unit from China and it is absolutely accurate as we did a manual laboratory compare with it. Enough said.
