Topic: Are IROKS a good tire for a DD?

[COToy91]

I have 37 MTRs right now but i am looking at my other options. 1991 with SAS and a 4.3L with an auto. Do the tread last on IROKS?

[kiyul4130]

its a really good tire and i wouldnt waste it burning them up just driving around town. get the radial tire if you plan on DD it. yes they are a great tire, there as commonly used as the MTR. the tread last pretty well but from what ive seen in person and have read the side lugs dont last as long at all on the 39.5s as do the 42s.

Yup, if its a DD, I wouldn't run Iroks on the street.. seems like a waste of a good tire.

Dont they make a 37" radial Irok?

[poriggity]

Yeah they do, and IIRC, its about the same size as the 36" bias Irok.  I still wouldn't run the radial version on the street.  Based on the design of the tire, whether its a radial or not, its gonna wear quickly on the street.

Hm well i guess i might stick with the MTRs then since toyos and most other tires are way to expensive

You can actually get pretty good life out of the irok radials.

how many miles do you think?? I got three years out of this set of MTRs

[megolfer]

toyos have way to stiff of a sidewall.

ANy tires tires that you guys suggest?

[Thomas P]

irok bias ply are really soft, i would definately not have as a DD, the radials i hear are good but dont know first hand, research the radials more, iroks are great tires

[Talon84x4]

Don't know if you like this option but you could run 2 sets, 1 of something that will last as a DD then another set like iroks for when you go wheeling. I've got 33's for DD and now 36 Iroks for wheeling only.

Not a bad idea, lots of money though....

What seats are you running in your truck

[Talon84x4]

Yeah it's a lot of money if you buy both sets new. Got my 33's new 2 yrs ago and they're lasting much longer than I expected, I picked up the iroks used a couple months ago, this way it wasn't hard on the wallet. The seats are stock, SR5 w/covers.
