Best wheeling I ever had was when I was only on 2in lift an 33's.



Granted now I can play on bigger trails, but the bigger you go the more shit breaks.

UMM.. WAT???

The A/T's are great tires, by all means. I never had any serious issues with my previous set of tires (33x12.50 BFG A/T's), but the MTR/K's that I have now are significantly better in every way. The ride is even better with them. All terrain tires are good all around tires, hence the name, but they can and will be beaten in every individual category by something more specific to the conditions.

^^ looks like x12.50's


'nilla,

By no means did I mean out perform the BFG A/T's in all situations. I just meant ON the rocks. I feel like they put more friction down than the M/T's, and I feel like since the tread pattern is so wide and deep on the M/T's it just makes them more vulnerable to scarring and getting shredded up on the rocks.

If you look into Falken's new line of OffRoad tires, most of their rock crawlers are a less agressive/tighter tread pattern.. and if you've been keep up with them on Facebook by chance, the prototypes are kicking ass on the JK. More specifically, this tire; The Wildpeak A/T has been whippin' ass and taking names in the rock reviews.



EDIT -- take a look through this photo album..
