Have you had trouble with the sidewalls?

My concern about getting MTRs is that they dont seem to have open enough tread to handle lots of mud. Id like to get mtrs... they are cheaper than everything else. But it seems to me that SSRs or IROKs with their very open tread and larger outter lugs would be superior in the mud compared to MTRs. I would just get the IROKs but im not sure if they will fit.

mtrs would be better for every other aspect of use. why don't you just cut the voids bigger, make your own custom tread

MTR's do suck on mud.....they act like an A/T in it

I don't know about mud

.....but they do good as an all around tire. DD, sand, rock, streams, etc.

I've heard that they suck in mud if you can't spin em fast, real fast. The ones I've seen in action up here in Wa don't grab in the mud well at all. My LTBs and BFG M/Ts do alot better in the majority of the mud we encounter. What about IROK radials?

The 35x1350x15 toyo open country MT is the tire you want, they last longer than all terrans, they have strong sidewalls and I've seen them in the mud, they do pretty well. Of course I work at Les Schwab tires.

I agree with Aaron

They're very similar to the MT/R but the sidewall is more agressive, right? Not to mention they cost more but they're a great tire...I'd run em in a heartbeat

37x14.5 toyo open countrys is what ill be running i have heard nothing but good and more good about these (BTW Les Schwabs sucks i have worked in 2 differnt stores) but the tires are good

FYI i was never fired from Schwabs and i still do buissness with them

why dont people here like super swamper tires

? I just dont get it lol. Toyos are out of the question because they are at least $40 more per tire than anything else ive looked at. I think im realy leaning toward 35x12.50 SSRs because they have a tread thats proven to be good in the mud and they claim to be decent on the highway. However please do keep the opinions coming

We love Interco tires here man proly more than half the ppl on this board run em but there are more tires out there than Interco so you will always get different opinions....Go with the SSR's street manners will proly be liveable

lilbuddy · « **Reply #45 on:** Aug 01, 2005, 04:06:45 PM »

Mud sucks! Just go with a tire thats good for rocks and do that instead

I dont know why people say MTRs suck so bad in mud. I had mine in some nasty thick clay mud and they cleaned themself really well. Just go with something thats better for street, Unless you are going to be in mud going everywhere you go, then get something that is good for mud. Think about what youre going to be doing most. I chose MT/Rs because I am going to be DD'ing my truck most the time, and thats what ive been doing most of the time. I also drive it to the trails which are from 130miles round trip to fordyce that was 300miles.

I heard the SSRs arent that bad on street but they also arent that good in mud.

86turboyota · « **Reply #46 on:** Aug 01, 2005, 04:14:43 PM »

well when i think about it 85% of the wheelin ive done in the past has been in the mud.. the other 15% is during the summer when the mud dries and the hills are steep. as much as id like to be a rock crawler there just arent that many rock crawling areas realy close by... so ill only be doing a small amount of rockcrawlin. Is there a radial tire out there that will do better in mud than the SSRs that comes in a 35x12.50 and is close in price to the SSRs? Its got to be a tire thats got siping and does acceptably in the rain, ice and snow.

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #47 on:** Aug 01, 2005, 06:13:23 PM »

Go with the SSR and have the tires siped! They have machines at most tire stores that will do it! And you can have just the center tread siped or all of it! At les schwab they brainwash ya to sell nothing but Toyo's, I know. They got a major markup on them! Spendt 7 years too many working for them!

*FFC* · « **Reply #48 on:** Aug 02, 2005, 09:52:09 AM »

Well shoot, if you're worried about price, go with a generic mud terrain. There are quite a few out there that are really aggressive and last. I had some Hercules Terra Tracs and if I could find em for sale somewhere I'd jump on em. I loved em. The Dunlops are also decent, as well as the Big O's... SSR's are nice and would be a lot more street friendly if you had them siped

86turboyota · « **Reply #49 on:** Aug 02, 2005, 12:23:24 PM »

SSRs come from the factory siped. So they are ready to roll in the rain and everything else. Well i guess my mind is finally made up about what tires to get. Im getting SSRs... once i get them and run them for awhile ill let everyone know how they do

. Thanks for all the opinions.

nowhitefenders · « **Reply #52 on:** Aug 02, 2005, 08:36:26 PM »

I run 35" Xterrains...no problems with them a bit. Everyone I know runs MTRz, which are great, I just don't notice any less performance with mine than the MTRz...plus when they go on sale, you can get 4 Xterrains for the price of 3.

toybuilt · « **Reply #53 on:** Aug 03, 2005, 10:33:04 AM »

I love TSL's, thats what I'm running and thats going to be my next tire. I'm just saying that if your going to be on the road alot the Toyo's are going to last alot longer, but they'll still work good.

And that comes down to a toss up between Toyos and MTR's, which are very similar in tread pattern...I've seen MTR's offroad everywhere, but I've never seen Toyos offroad.....

Be they very similar, are the Toyo's as durable as the MTR?

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #55 on:** Aug 03, 2005, 03:32:38 PM »

I've run the MTRs and BFG MTs. I also need my tires to be good DDs, and have decent offroad manners too. I have been happy with both, however my MTs are quieter. If you're lookin at DDing rain or snow, both are good choices. I have no opinion on the other tires, simply because I have not run them.

oh yeah,

American tires beats great prices, got 35" BFG MTs installed mounted and balanced for 762

I LOVE America's Tire Co. If I were to get new tires I'd go there....I've had good experiences every time I've gone there and the guy I go to beats any price I show him from a competitor

I didnt even have to show them, I told them I could get them at sams club for 765, and he said, well how does 762 sound? (original quote was 805)
