Topic: 38" Radial, Give me the answer

[zippo]

I am getting the parts for my 88 Excab. I want a 38" radial. I will be rock,trails,mud and mostly on road travel. WHat is the best tire for me? Im not a tire guy, so i neeed help. Thanks!

I'd go with the 37" MTR if its going to on the road alot like you said

edit: the original style MTR

If you want a 38 you don't have a lot of choices outside of nitto (huge wheel only), tsl radials (suck offroad), or toyo's.  If it was me I'd run the toyo's.  They are a heavy tire but they work pretty well in all situations.

What about SSR's? Or KM2's come in a 38 but only in a 17" rim. I imagine you're running 15's but it's an option

[WHITE_TRASH]

ssr's are with a paper sidewall and km2's are spendy as all hell.  But the km2 is a nice tire I'll give it that.

i like the 37 irock radial i know is not a 38 but a damn good tire

[bigarms23]

either the 37irok radial or the 38inch toyo mt or the 38 mickey thompson mtz

[thegoofster21]

only thig with toyos they r only in 16" rim

[zippo [OP]]

THANKS! I will prolly go with the Toyo MTs on black steelies. Cheap and Strong. I've always had good luck with toyo.

the down side is they are about 350 a tire :-(

All most all of the Mickey Thompson stuff come in 38" saddley every company that makes a 38"' makes it in a 14.50

wish they'd do it in a 12.50

[bigarms23]

you can always run a 38x12.50 radial super swamper tsl

[TacoRunner]

    Oh no you didn't.

On a similar note, I helped with dismounting some 38x14.50 (?)-20 toyo mt's today, and helped stick a couple kumho mt's in their place, then got to stack the toyos in the dead bin    Far and away the heaviest tires I've dealt with to date!
