Topic: best tires for dd and wheeler

[Steve_925]

i'll give my opinion.

toyo mt is a very nice aggressive but quite and long lasting tire. and from what i hear do well on the rocks. but it is probable one of the most heavy tires.

KM2's never ran them or really seen them perform, but they look sick and seem to do well all around. pretty expensive

iroks i daily drove my 4runner every day and to and from the trail for a year and had at least 75% life(37's by the way). they get a bad rep for a street tire but are pretty quiet and didn't wear that bad for me.

I've been running 35" pro comp A/T's and I love em. They had a "buy 3 get 1 free" sale and took em up on it. Whether I paid too much for them still, I don't quite know.  All I know is that I likem a LOT!

you still paid more than a set of 4 from most other tire companies. i will never run a pro comp tire, even if i got them for free. i have seen them grenade after under a 1,000 mile regularly. i would never run any pro crap product for that matter.

ya i was thinking about a set of tsls but i went to my 4 wheel parts and one of the guys there had 40in irocs on his jeep with 30,000 miles and still pretty decent tread so i think i might get a set of those.

are you talking about Pete? tall bald white guy

Well...... Got over 2k on them now and running just fine, just rotated them tonight too. I paid $600.00 with 50k mileage warranty, lifetime replacement or repair, free rotate and balance, also gottem installed same day. But hey thanks for your HONEST OPINION

That's just about any toyo tire    Heavy bastards with stiff sidewalls.

Pulled a set of vanity wheels off a newer 4runner today, then mounted up a set of kevlar mtr on the stock wheels.  Looked soooooo much better!  Just wish we'd get more feedback from customers, but that'll come the more I get a chance to talk to them, especially when I work my way up front

I have 36/12.5/15 TSL's on my truck. I do about 30k a year and if everything on the truck is in working order they dont wear bad. I have about 85% and 90% on them with a broken idler arm on and off the year before the truck was torn down. Mine are bias and flatspot over night it seems and take a block to round out but other then the noise i love them on and off road. This is my 2nd set and the next set i buy will just be a bit bigger.

30k+/- and wheeling 2+ times a week.


Friend of mine is replacing his km2's after a little less then 30k and is not all that happy with them for wear.

[Farace1979]

Well I've ran the old goodyear MT and BFG MT and some others but I'm running some firestone mts and I'll say I like them more than the others...MY 2cents

[Burl]

Just purchased a new set of Mastercraft Courser mtr's at lees tire in Reedley 1064.00 not bad and not near as far as Bootjack tire near Mariposa where I got my last set almost two years ago.

[kneedownnate]

What size? 

[Burl]

Kneeownate the size I bought were 315/75r/16

[kneedownnate]

Ok, that's never a cheap size so I won't give you crap    I just hate seeing so many people paying way too much for tires, there's always room to haggle!  If a shop isn't willing to budge on their prices people need to learn to say goodbye instead of ok.

[bigarms23]

so what did you go with

[bigndn]

IMO-
MTR's are great on the road but they are on the soft side of a DD tire.

BFG KM's are a little harder, and BFG AT's are harder than KM's. T

The AT's are ok off road, but wear really good on the street and have the added bonus of being the best snow rated tire out there (great winter street tire).

Agreed.  I run KM2s on my mini, MT/Rs on my FJ40, and have had BFG ATs in the past.  I really like all of them. 

[raceyz23]

Im running my second set of 35" 12.50 pro comp xtreme mud terrains and i love them, great off road and on the road. They are quite and wear very well for a dd!

[mtbiker]

cant go wrong with toyo mts or bfg

[dgrant71]

Stick to the 37 mtr's
