Best Off Road Tires

[WrenchMonkey]

TireRack still shows them backordered today. Their site says 7-27, but that date has changed at least three times that I've seen. From 6-15, to 6-26, to 7-17, to now 7-27. Always at least two or three weeks out...

HA! And in the last couple hours, they pushed it back another couple weeks: 8-8...

Nine months. I coulda knocked up the Michelin Man's sister and she coulda BIRTHED me a set faster than that...

Says the guy from Kentucky. A whole different type of wheeling out there... Lots of mud etc. A/T's pretty much rule the roost in So Cal, they're a perfect all around tire, and do amazing in the desert. A BFG A/T would do well in Utah as well.

X2. I have been really surprised at how well my BFG A/Ts have done. they actually hook once you air them down, they are quiet on the road, and last a long time.

the sidewalls take a beating too.

Interco TRXUS mud terrains.

this is a very underrated tire actually. ive seen a couple sets around, and they do very well. but they are pricey.

sidewalls may take some abuse, but ive personally broken bands in multiple sets. and as i stated on the first page, i honestly dont wheel hard. BFG basically told me "oh well." only tire of theirs i would run is the crawler if i had the dough. for the price of the KM2, there are other options.





as far as A/Ts, what about the duratrac? i had planned to buy a set new, until a used set of STTs in great shape fell into my lap. as i said, they did great on the only trip ive done with them.

bfg for all terrains

cooper stt for a cheapo mud terrain that wont wear crazy fast

mtr/k for awesome all around tire.

I blew through sidewalls like crazy on BFG ATs. BFG is NOT known for strong sidewalls.

I was only airing them down to 12-14 psi as well.

33x12.5 on 15x8s.

The best offroad tire is directly proportional to the inverse square of the speed of an unladen swallow.

And see, i would disagree with you. A/T's are for the tow rig. Once you unload your rig from the trailer, you're going to want some kind of MT tire on it..

It's not 1975 modern mud tires drive just as good as passenger car tires...

and people need to remember they're driving a jeep not a cadillac

I have no idea how I haven't blown a sidewall on my treadwright retreaded BFG ATs. It sure isn't driving skill. They're paper thin.

I will probably run Treadwright MTDs next. They're an MTR knockoff but a lot cheaper and I am a cheap bastard.

Best offroad tire though? Gotta be Gumbo Monster Mudders or Firestone Military NDCCs.

Just my $.02
My maxxis trepadors allow me to run 75 mph down the freeway and still grip amazing on the rocks and throw mud while cleaning out well.

I run my 33x10.50s at 10psi on 15x8s and my sidewalls are in great shape. the tread lasts a long ass time. but my jeep is 80-90% street driven, with about 15000 miles of freeway every year, so I wanted something that would be quiet. the MTRK didn't exist, and neither did the KM/2. they both came out months after though.

I know BFG is not known for strong sidewalls, which is why I am surprised at how well they have done.

when I get another set, I won't get A/Ts though, and I won't be DDing my jeep. I will be moving up a size, and getting either nitto trail grappler M/Ts or MTRKs. for a rock-crawler that still sees some street time, I don't think you can do much better. I don't imagine the maxxis CCs do well on the street.

i just got some of these in 35's so far they seem to be a very well built tire. tires i replaced was 33's bfg km2's had great luck with the bfg's also.
