Actually Freddy, now that I come to think about it, more info please, you serious?

 

I'm starting to look at tires to buy. My draglink was bent from a rock causing my toe to be way off. 65 3/4in on the front of the tire and 67 1/4in on the rear of the tire (measure front tires). Jeeps are suppose to have 0 - 1/8 toe difference. Drove like this for a few weeks and started wearing my passenger tire down on the outer edge. Needless to say my tires are nearing the wear bars and will need new ones.

Being so close to my job now I really don't need to worry to bad on the type of tire. I've run boggers before and now running Trxus MT's. My goal is to run a decent priced tired so I was looking at the KM2's and the MTR's (I like the old tread design better though) Anyone recommend a MT to aggressive tire, 35-36in tall around the $250/tire range?

Love to run a PB rocker but looking for some what of a decent riding tire and from reading reviews, Rockers don't balance very well and because they are popular in the crawling scene they are $300+/tire

 

I may be going with the 35" LTB when it's that time. Have you checked them out? The LTB in a 35 and up is a different tire from the 34" and down. I'm on my second set now and will prob. be heading to my third. 31s to 34s and most likely the 35's.

 

Ride Quality? Sidewall Strength? Good on rock/mud/snow?

 

check out the IROK's have had them on the Bronco for a few years now and i really like them. worked great in the snow and seem to stick to the rocks really well, haven't done to much mud but what I have been in they worked really well.
look into internal tire balancing, did it on mine this spring and it seems to work really well and I dont have to worry about spinning a tire on the rim.

 

I've rode with a buddy that has Iroks and they ride nice. Chunk up some because of the soft compound they have. Reason why I got rid of my boggers is because of 10-15k mileage you get out of them. I hear the Iroks are the same way.

 

I happen to love them.

Ride Quality :
On the road they are loud, no if and's or buts about it, but they are no Bogger. Ride quality is about as decent as you can get from a bias ply tire, depending on the "sweet spot" you can find with air pressure to get them to run decent. Cold, they flat spot and it takes a few miles for them to get back to normal but after that they are fine and smooth out.

Sidewall Strength :
Well, I can tell you that the last time that I had My Samurai out I had the air pressure so low that my gauge wouldn't even register the psi in them and I had NO problems at all. I actually watched the front tire fold over on itself and twist while I was turning. No problem. In the rocks they are just as good. With the same psi as said before, they climbed, clawed there way up and over about everything I pointed them at. The sidewall flexes pretty well, just hard to get it to flex on a Samurai... I have to run really low air before I even get a bulge. There are vids of the Samurai (recent ones) in the York's property post of me running a muddy washout and playing on some rock.

Here is the tire flexing on a rock the size of a football.


Rock, Mud, Snow :
All three can be answered with a simple answer. No problem.

Rocks : They are sticky enough, when aired down... they do really well.

Mud : Let's just say the LTB is a Swamper TSL with bigger, more offset outer lugs. Mud is no issue.

Snow : As long as you give yourself plenty of stopping room and don't drive like a complete jackass you'd be fine. I went everywhere I ever wanted the past couple of years in the snow. Not a single issue. The 35" LTB even has siping in all the lugs which should help in the snow and with head and longer life span of the tire.

Here is a link that was just given to me because I have a "what tire next" thread going on on another forum, just thought I'd share it w/ you. http://www.offroaders.com/reviewbox/...&cat=3&ppuser=

 

Yeah, the IROK is a super tire as well! That's a tire more designed for rock though than mud anyway. What's the tread life like Chris?

 

Love the LTB and would consider it for a choice but can't find a 35x12.50x15 or something close in size. I ran a 35x10.50 tire before but after awhile wanted a fatter tire again.

 

You can't find the LTB in a 35x12.5?
