tire choices... opinions needed!
 
ok i got my body lift on i have some 15x10 mickey thompsons sitting in the garage that need some tires.(33x12.5x15)

ive been tossing my head back and forth which tire to get so many choices.:headache:

i drive alot, mostly highway but do get offroad every once and a while.
i dont care about noise and wear, just a good tire.

anyway here is what ive been thinking.:shrug:

Trxus STS All-Terains 600$

Maxxis Buckshot Mudders 500$

I know you said that you aren't concerned w/ wear.. but the BFG's will wear (relatively) well. That will save you some big money in the long run.

Running MT tires on the street/highway is a complete waste of money in my opinion. Not that running AT's for strictly street use is much better..

What don't you like about the BFGs? I absolutely love mine, they're perfect for the types of driving I do. You said you didn't like them though, so I chose the STS cuz it looks cool and Trxus makes some badass tires.

Shalafi49 Jul 27, 2005 10:54 AM

I voted Maxxis. Kickass tire, but suckass in sand. I LOVE my BFG A/T's but I like the mudder look so I went with them and the Trxus look like they are for show...

barrman Jul 27, 2005 11:00 AM

i like the mudders, and i think theyd look sweeeeeet on your truck. BUT, i think bfg mudders would look even better ;o)

i think trxus are ugly ass tires that arent going to wear that well. I say none to the above and if you are even considering a good of road tire go wth a goodyear MT/R. good in mud sand and especially rock.



but everynoe knew I would say that...

great tire if you have the $ to blow every year and half to get new tires...they wear to fast.

Zach mudders in the snow we have up here SUCKS BALLS beleave me there has to be like 7" minimum before they preform good. the BFG A/T will be your best bang for the buck on millage and also you will LOVE them in the winter there the ****. my little 2wd i can hop around everywhere with them no problem. my cooper mudders was hell when it snowed....

zabeard Jul 27, 2005 11:22 AM

SuperGildo@RRP Jul 27, 2005 11:23 AM

EDIT: BTW the nly time I lost my truck in the snow is when i put my stockers on and i ended up hitting a concrete wall. never lost it with the mt/rs

r0ng5 Jul 27, 2005 04:29 PM

i vote Cooper.. the ST or the SST. They are great. I've had a great experience with them (no on my truck) and they're pretty good offroading. COOPER! :006:

Redneckstone Jul 27, 2005 04:38 PM

How about the Goodyear Wrangler MT?, not the mt/r. You can find them in some places, they look mean, they go on military Hummers, must be great. One guy at my firehall has em on his s-10, they look awesome and like they would work well on road and off, never asked him about them though.

Buttercup Jul 27, 2005 08:05 PM

Bridgestone Dueler Revo AT

01offroad Jul 27, 2005 08:15 PM

I priced a set of the new Discoveries today and they were $800! Man I want those tires but woah, that's some serious grip! The size I priced was 265/75/R16

01offroad Jul 27, 2005 08:18 PM

Zach...Where did you price the Trus STS for $600? I like the tread pattern on the sidewall. Anybody have any experience with em'?

vp6799 Jul 27, 2005 08:43 PM
