For those who run/have run the new MTRs, what is your opion of them?

Best Tire Ever
Awesome, huge improvement over previous design
Comparable to old design
Almost as good as the original MTRs
They suck bawlz

Just another set of 33's..  I have always run Rather large tires, 36's 38's..  Well the older I get with the kids and all I have been having a blast with the smaller tires.. And I use my rigs as camping rigs.. And long trip rigs..  Anyways it is really fun to see everyones face when i cruze right through things with my "magic 33s"  at least that what my buddies say :biggthumpup:  Also Seabass44 And I almost always hit the trail together..  him with his 47's and my little 33's..  looks kinda funny us 2 wheeling together

hehe I have a set of the 33's also there heavy little suckers all by themselves at 65 lbs without a rim there beefy I wish I could get more use out of mine but I want to do the opposite of you and step up in size a little more to 36 or 37"s they drive good down the street to :D

the day I got them put them on at work


drove down to the buddys house to show them off


then my cousin bought the truck and now there sitting in the garage lol I am going to want another set but bigger this time through...
the whole set plus wheels cost me 1500, now there for sale for 1000  200 miles on them :(

$1500 for 33s and wheels  :yikes:  And agreed, I mounted a set of stock size on a 4runner today and was astounded how heavy they were!

:ack:

damn well at least I'm getting my credit started :(

lowering the truck to fit the 33's got a test run in them the other day they just grab everything didn't even slip a tire while towing a guy out of some stupid mud hole... now from what I hear these were suppose to do crap in the mud but I was fairly impressed on the amount of traction and cleaning they did. I'm locked front and rear

Went on goodyears web site and under the corporate heading there is a place to contact them, I sent a question if they were planning on building a 37-12.50/15????? Reply=sorry for the inconvenience but at this time there are no plans to produce the Kevlar in that size. If we spread the word and hammer them enough with this who knows they might buckle and make a 37x15...... There is power in numbers! :help:

That is so :stopit:

I was really hoping after the initial release they would bring out a 37 for a 15" rim. Bummer. Seems every year that passes manufactures distance themselves further and further from 15s...

most of the decent longer life than say (bias) tires that are 37s are all in 17s nowdays. what if i dont want 17s. how hard is it to make a damn 37 12.50 15. they would probably make alot more money if they did. im leaning towards toyo mts right now.i know they are heavy and rediculously wide but i really dont want 17s and i really kind of wanted to step up from a 35 when mine are done for. maybe if we hold out long enough we might get lucky  :yesnod:

Since these have been out for a while I added a poll for those who have first hand experience to place their vote on how much they like the new MTRs.
