back when i had my bronco, the x-terras had just come onto the scene and got excellent reviews. i was curious if they are still manufactured or if there is a tire that would be just as equal in road manners and pricing.

 

They are still making them for sure, the closest thing to them I have always thought was mickey thompson's baja claw..the x-terrains seem to be just a milder version of those.

 

Oh yes they still make them. The Baja Claw is a good suggestion for a comparable tire, how about the new BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM2s?

 

i think i need to pick up an issue of 4wheeler or something. i've been out of the loop for a while. what do the xterra's and the mt claws run?

 

Mickey Thompson, Dick Cepek, and ProComp tires are all manufactured by Cooper Tire here in the USA. They're all still available.

I have a set of Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's for offroading, and BFG AT/KO's for street. Both sets are 35".

 

thanks. what about 33's?

 

I hate xterrains, I hated them. 3 out of 4 had bubbled sidewalls, They wore like crap and didnt even have the traction on the trail to make up for those traits.

 

wow, did you just get a bad batch or have others experienced similar problems?

 

Cooper had problems with a lot of tires. They had a bad batch of carcasses at one time that crossed many, many brands. Those problems have been solved and it shouldn't be an issue -- but I don't like the Xterrains either.

 

I hated my x-terrains also. Cupped tread wear, they didn't clean very well for an aggressive tire and the directional tread pattern keeps you from rotating from one side to the other.

 

I have the muds and i like them.. they make noise but who cares... its a truck.. deal haha

 

if you want a directional tire i would suggest the Baja Claws over the X Terrains, theres probably a reason you see a lot more of them

 

i love my Baja Claws and i've heard only bad things about the x-terrains. i would say go with the Claws.

 

Keep in mind Cooper builds them to customers specifications. If ProComp ain't asking for Cooper's best -- they ain't getting it.

On the other hand, the Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek brands are owned by Cooper. I really like Mickey Thompson tires. The Claws are awesome but I'd be careful in the rain is all.
