Tire Comparisons
« on: Jan 06, 2009, 07:32:16 PM »
So i have been looking at off road tires just for fun and have noticed a few show up more than others. The goodyear mtrs, bfg mud terrains and their new mud terrain km2,and super swampers. Which one do you guys like the most and why? If there are any others that you use or like please include them. I was just curious what everyone liked and ran and im sure some other people are curious to

Your question has been covered many times and is very very vague....

What type of rig? Daily driver or trail rig?
What type of terrain? Mud? Snow? Street? Rocks? Ice?

Where do you live? Bias or Radial?
How aggressive? All-terrain or super swamper? What type of rock do you wheel on? Granite? Sandstone?

Give us some details of what you need in the tire at least    :biggthumpup:

You still didnt say what kind of tire you want or conditions.....there are hundreds of different tires and applications man....obviously the Pro comp was not suited for the condition in which it was wheeling  :biggthumpup:
