[ladiekilla04]

so i started looking at tires today, thinking about getting 33's when im down in VA, any comments on the thornbirds? or and good or bad comments on other tires? really want the best all around tire for my money.

He drives to many road miles for Trxus , they wear fast .

BFG wears like iron , thats a good choice .

Also if you dont mind a little noise interco tire . Swamper TSL radials kick ass off road and wear well on road . Down side , there noisy on the highway but drive nice .

thornburds suck apple sauce and pills

I agree, but thornturds got up the waterfall first.

[ladiekilla04]

i was just reading about them and they looked like a good all around tire. the two last sets of tires i've bought are bfg's and i like them, i was just looking to try something different

i heard all SS are bad on the road as far as life. how long would tsl last? mileagewise. not meaning to highjack but ive been looking at tires too.

just kidding i just wanted to use that smiley

I am running tsl Q78 right now but they are bias , there great off road but bumpy on road .

I have ran TSL radials in the past on 3 different rigs , they wore quit well , excellent manners on road but they did sing a bit . not near as bad as a bogger but well above the noise of a AT or MT tire .

Id guess at 40,000 miles or more on a TSL radial . I doubt the truxus will go more then 25,000 . Mine wore quick on the road , there a soft compound .

Maybe check some other boards on tire tech also . Im guessing at those milage figures .

[Blackjackbender]

25,000-35,000 is what I have been hearing for trxus before wearing out. tires is more bad ass then i thought it was. but it is one tire that is extremely quiet on the road and holds more then its own offroad.


they are now making trxus m/ts in a sticky compound.



honestly its hard to beat the BFG m/t for price, how loud the are (not horrible), and how long they last. I would go BFG m/t if I was looking for a road friendly tire from 28"s-37"s. only reason my tires arent bfg m/t's is because theydidnt make them in that size then.

[Nate4d]

anyone know a good tire for a dd in a 36 or 37 on 15s? need it to last a while like 40k sounds good to me. hear any good or bad about the bajaclaw radials?

[Mongo]

I drive my yj all the time and love my procomp m/t's. If I had a dedacated wheeler I would definatly go bias, But I feel that I do very well offroad. I would say that driver ability can make up SOME of the difference. How soon do you want to buy tires again? Sam's are ~ 1 year old I think.

37" BFG m/t's.



truxus. you'll get 30k out of them. even better i bet by the time you want a new set of tires I will be selling my trxus's.


or since u have a tow rig now rock a set of DD tires and a set of wheelers.


ive never like baja claws. never have seen them stand out anywhere besides sand.

[sglide]

you wont get 40 k out of the bahaclaws
more like 15 to 20

[drummond]

I have never really liked the baja claws, unless they are grooved pretty seriously...which would not be very good for on-road use. I second the BFG Mud-Terrains. I had them on my CJ before my 36's, with 33's, and I really liked them.

[Rover]

i have 33 bfg mt's, i like them on the street. ive driven up here from maryland with them on. they are louder than my bfg at's but they arnt annoying. they wear great

[Tonka]

I Hate the rim protector crap on my BFG's, but other than that, they are a great tire for the $

Super swamper TSL Radial gets a vote, NEVER had a bead issue.

36x12.50r15 super swamper radial tsl

I had well over 40K on mine at half tread (SOA YJ 4.0L 5 spd)

Possibly the new BFG Mud Terrain KM2 IF they release more sizes
