Um, My name is Matt, I usually go by Shark, and I have a 91 4runner on 35's. I'm looking to get new tires soon, and was thinking about getting some super swamper LTB's or the Iroks, any input?

Thanks Eric, I will try tonite. And Thanks toughguylos for the welcoming greeting. And 88sasturbotoy, I do like the baja claws, i'm not sure if they are "knobby" enough for my taste, not sure if that's how it's spelled. But at the same time, my truck is mainly a daily driver; so were they pretty comparable all the way around or what were the pros and cons in your opinion? I know i'll have to check out the specific tire threads but just wondering your opinion.

need 12 post to post a pictures.just fyi...so keep posting on the board so we can see the runner:) but i think u can upload a pic for your avatar tho.

also if your rig is a dd id suggest getting mtrs. best tire iver ever had. havent had the new style with kevlar but ive had the old style in 33" 35" and 37", im on 37" trxus mt now but would switch back to the mtrs ina heartbeat since they wear better on the street and wont wear fast compared to iroks or ltbs and can still take on the rocks without problems.

oh and  :welcome:!

Thanks guys, I actually have the new mtr's with the Kevlar sidewalls, but I was new to owning a rock crawler, so I didn't rotate the tires until it was too late, now they are close to balding on the inside. I haven't really taken them off road, the most I've done was a little bit of Jose basin where the potato run is, I think :headscratch: and going up to dinky creek. But yeah they are pretty good I suppose.

Summer time is coming up, there'll be a lot of camping and wheeling to do.

yeah I'm hoping to go this year and see what my rig can do, to some extent.

I ate a mexican pizza from taco bell but -with no tomatoes and no pizza sauce, so just the tortilla, meat and cheese.  :thumbs:

Is there even a woman who can prepare such a demanding sandwich for such a picky eater as yourself?? :o
