Time to put some new tires on the jeep and I've narrowed it down to 2 choices 36-13.50x15 iroks or 37-12.50x15 creepy crawlers. 95% off road mostly rocks, but some snow and mud as well. Sometimes driven to and from trails, so stickies are out. Standard dot bias plys. Other recommendation in size and price range are welcome. So what do you all say?
I've seen them on friends vehicles they seem to do as good as everything else on the trail in a regular DOT compound , and better than a few favorites when the trail has mud/snow on it ...Not sure how they hold up to super high wheelspeed wheeling where sidewall is constantly being abused ,but they do fine here .
I'll take a Maxxis sidewall over any others. Even the Creepies still have beef sidewalls, my next set of tires will probably by a set of 4D" Creepies, maybe some 38.5's. My friends non stickies run just fine with me, its only when I get on comp courses or dry rock that I can show them up.
i recall multiple times his "sticky" tires getting showed up by many dot tires, creepies are nice, treps have yet to impress me(nothin against ross but them treps have yet to impress me)
I have run both, same sizes, same conditions too. Creepies win everywhere but the snow.
One gripe I have with both tires is their tendency to "balloon" at street pressures (18-20ish psi) Creepies a little worse than the iroks. But the performance in the rocks and sidewall strength made up for it.
Never pushed either to their limits in the mud though, so no comment there.
And be sure to shop around, I have found that creepy crawler prices differ an insane amount.

They really shine down at Rausch, probably woulda been magic out at Moab. Up here they just work like any other tire with our conditions. I bet even regrooving mine would help alot too.
