Trying to pick what mud tires i want
 
So I am trying to decide what mud tires I want to buy. I am going to put on a 3 inch body lift and am looking for 285/75/16 tires. Any other suggestions of brands are welcome.

Super Swampers TSL.

Well are you going to do real muddin or just the look cool with mud tires thing?

redranger_02 06-17-2008 04:35 PM

toyos if you can afford it. i would get some 305/70 or 75R16 tires to fill the wheel wells a little better

Cooky65 06-17-2008 04:37 PM

If you're looking for something good in the snow, check out Cooper STT's. I know a few people who have them and they love them in the snow and mud.

Probably Toyos as long as you stay away from Mud, heard they suck there

LTB j/k

I would say BFG out of those three choices

04blackedge 06-17-2008 07:21 PM

MTZs, I know its not on the list but they're a great tire.

+ 1 on the Khumo kl71's. Awesome

Had the cooper STT's and yes they were awesome in the snow and fairly decent in the mud but they wore quickly.

t_schloesser 06-17-2008 07:48 PM

SSR's, so you can dig, dig, dig

RazorsEDGE 06-17-2008 08:04 PM

x3 on MTZs

Love my STT's i have about 20k on mine...as long as you rotate and take care of them i find mine wear fine, have yet to get stuck

DaGGer 06-17-2008 09:38 PM

I have put 6-7k miles on these tire and have 16/32" of the brand new 18/32" tread. You should easily be able to put on 40k miles.

True dat. Not got stuck?!?!? ohhh i sure have ....in three feet of snow:006: lol

Another thing to think about Baja Claw=directional=impossible to rotate(need to be remounted every time) and if you don't remount/rotate they will cup bad.

EDIT: Another thing... Cooper (or so i have heard) bought out Mickey Thompson. The STT's and MTZ are made in the same factory. For a 285/75R16 MTZ it was like $190. The bought some 285/75R16 STT's for like $160 a piece.

i know good year is doin their big rebates. i just saved 100 on my new set of mtrs. on my second set and i love em

Seahawk 06-18-2008 11:57 AM

^^Blackhawk you only really do short trips though. it's only really the long trips and a hot road surface that eats tires. And STT's in 285/75-16 are around $200.

KELLY88 06-18-2008 12:17 PM

I've got the BFG Mud Terrains right now and they're a good dual purpose. Work really well in mud (no surprise) and do great on sand and hills as well. Also wear pretty slowly. Mine still have around 60% tread after I don't know how many years and I still seldom get stuck in anything.

Cooky65 06-18-2008 12:59 PM

Just went to Les Schwab and they gave me a quote for $1340.08 mounted and balanced for the Toyo's :/
