I'm slowly building a fist gen ranger pre-runner, but it's going to be for the mid-atlantic Terrain (cornfields, wooded paths, snow, sleet, mud, not a lat of sand) i know i know it's not a 4wd. but it's my truck, and I'm going to do it my way. every one who has a fist gen ranger, s-10, dakota around where i live slams them. so mine is going to be lift. so which tire do you all think would be best for the Terrain, and would looks the best?

right now i'm thinking Mud King XT. but i don't know???

 

not thornbirds. i say goodyear wrangler duratracs. but thats my .002 id get coopers from that list though

 

definately fun countries, i had them on my superduty in 38s and i loved them

 

ive havent seen em much, but a guy i used to wheel with in reno has these on this jeep and he swears by them. he is THE recovery guy up there in snow or w.e you throw at him. they seem very capable. never seen him stuck

cooper for sure!

im getting the cooper but the st not the stt

 

The DC FC II looks like it would be terrible in mud.
The Mud Kings look like a cheap no name tire, very little sidewall protection, little protection between lugs. Basically an old school cheap mud terrain that would suck in rain, light snow, has vulnerable sidewalls, probably more likely to get punctures etc.
Out of that list, I say the STTs or MTZs.
I had the STTs in 33x12.50R15 on my sport trac when I lived in Oregon, and spent a lot of time out in the mountain trails in mud, 12-18"+ of snow, in the dunes and the tires were great. Good street manners, long wearing, good all around tire. Never had any punctures or problems. They are a little skatey (yeah I made that up) on ice or really light snow but what isn't. They were better than some non-siped mud terrains I had, and if you had them siped on the center treads I bet they would rock in light snow/sleet/ice.

 

Whatever you get.......WHITE LETTERS OUT!!!!

 

STT's dude, youll love em!

 

they werent bad at all in the mud. they seemed to load up alot more than my mud countries but still did well

 

yep white letters out. that's why the tire list is so small. i love that 70s/80s look.

if you all know of any more 35X12.5-15 Solid White Letters / Outline White Letters off-road /mud tires let me know

 

i voted cooper STT

 

MTZ or STT

 

cooper stt, ive heard alot of good things about them.

 

MTZZZZZZZZ!!!

 

i know which ever-one i get it's going on 15X10 outlaw II

 

lol
Didn't realize you were picking tires based on how the sidewalls look.

KM2s have solid white lettering. And they are actually a great all around tire.

 

MTZs or STTs. Or my personal pick, KM2s

 

just a bit.

 

if you are going for the 70/80s look then you HAVE to have mickey thompspn baja belteds

 

i only can find Mickey Thompson Baja Belted HP and that's in a 31/7.50R15LT
i like to have something like 36,35,34 X 10.5,11.5,12.5 -15 if i have to i'll go with 16s

 

BFG KM2's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

cooper discovery STT's

 

i have the courser mts and they are awesome, but they are my first tires i bought for my truck since i owned it, great in mud and clay and wooded trails near where i live, but the bajas look nicer

 

Discoverer STT or Baja Radial MTZ, so far
