the LTB's are a bias tire, but tough

not sure why they are so much cheaper but i would get some

yotatilla · « **Reply #3 on:** Feb 20, 2006, 01:44:04 PM »

I ran a set of 34x10.50 LTB's on my stock IFS and slod em last week for what I payed for em. They are a great tire, and I only got stuck once. I highly recomend them, adn for $500 a set, you cant go wrong.

P.S. Why do I feel like I'm being yelled at?

I have ran ltb's, goodyears and i am currently running 36 inch irock raidials . My opinion irocks are the best allaround tire you can buy.They do good in mud on rocks and in dirt, it doesnt take much hp to clean them.

im running cut tsl sx's and love them the only thing i dislike about them is there heavy and the pavement will eat them alive because of how soft of a compound they are but other than that i love them

This may not be an option because they are a little more expensive... But, I have been running Goodyear MT-R's and I cannot complain. Deep mud is not the greatest because the center treads fill and become a slick. Aired down though they grab to dirt, rocks, city roads, loose stuff really well...

This is not a horribly heavy tire and I haven't had one puncture or flat yet.

Just my 2 cents.

If you are going for price, go with a LTB, or I-rock, great tires. Alomost anything from Interco is a awsom tire, for what it was designed for.
I will be running boggers for the ultimate in tracion,

I"m running 37 mtrs .. Heard alot of good things about the iroks, going to try a set when my mtrs are worn out..

kneedownnate · « **Reply #10 on:** Feb 21, 2006, 09:48:48 PM »

Not to thread jack, but I would personally be a lot more likely to slosh through the mud than to run on the rocks so I can't see using mtrs. I'm thinking Q78s, but it won't be for a while so I'll hafta wait and see what's available then.

TopStreet · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 06:20:42 AM »

Kneedownnate- Do you have a link of the Q78s? I havent heard of these before. I would agree though, if you are going through mainly mud then use one of the Interco tires. MTRs do fairly well in the mud but that is not what they were made for.

They are not nearly as wide as many of the Interco tires. I have 37x12.5s on mine and the whole width of the tire is about 12.5. I measured a friends Iroks last night and where they say 13.5 they measure about 16"s. The Iroks have scooped treads too.

Hope some of the input is helping.

What size do you want to run? LTB's are great if you can live with the smaller sizes.
I currently am running the 34x10.5's and love them.

i got old remington maypops....33 12.50...got a dual case going in so I thought about going bigger..

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 10:53:02 AM »

the q78's are a interco tire

kinda the daddy to the LTB's and swampers

and they are around 35 x12

MetalMangler · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 05:01:01 PM »

34 10.50 LTB's are awesome in every way. I ran them for two years and never had any problems. I beat the crap out of my truck and never busted a tire. I am now running 38.5 x 11 boggers and if I had to choose between the two tires, I would say that the LTB's are the best tire in the world,for the money.

Thanks

The LTBs are a softer rubber allowing for better traction, but they wear at a greater rate. I have heard lots of good things about them.

Bigbadtoy · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 09:00:57 PM »

just a quick question would the 34x10.50 ltbs fit a 91 pickup with a 3 in body lift, torsion bars craned a little bit with 2in longer rear shackles?

1Bad4Runner · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 09:03:21 PM »

I found that my SX's were a good all around tire, other than there road manner. They were extremely loud and the flat spot sucked so I moved on to MTR's

furrballs95 · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 09:14:16 PM »

i plan on gettin a set of 36x12.50x15 sxs are they a soft compound or a hard compound.

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 09:51:50 PM »

they are a very soft compound and i mean soft you can grab one of the lugs and almost push your finger into it

Thomas P · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 22, 2006, 10:25:34 PM »

IROK's all the way they are great on snow and rocks. Also they are quiet on the pavement. The downside is they are super soft and wear fast. I heard the radials last longer but they arent as good offroad. They are a great tire for the price.

furrballs95 · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 23, 2006, 05:21:17 AM »

i need something that is going to be awesome on the trial but still will take a lil road abuse and not wear out real fast

yotatilla · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 23, 2006, 07:13:13 AM »

My LTB's hardly show any wear after quite a bit of on road driving. I ran them on road for about 6 months and they still have what I would consider 98% tread. BigBadToy- Yes, they will fit. They fit mine on stock suspension and no body lift.

i would buy those but i need something bigger cause i'm going to be doing a SAS and i want at least 36" under it

1Bad4Runner · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 23, 2006, 11:18:54 AM »

I didn't find the SX's wore real badly, I just do 90% street driving so I got rid of them. The rubber is fairly still compared to alot of bias ply tires and worked awsome in the woods.

From what i have seen, anything with the letters T S L. and you should be good.
