tires!!

hey guys help me pick, im still a student and i do alot of highway driving...


mickey thompson mtx

pro comp a/t

bfg a/t

What size? How much are you planning on spending?

31 or 32.

right now i have 31 xterrains on my pro comp rims and they are almost done. as soon as i finish going to 5 inches of lift and i throw them on. i will decide the size.

the pro comp are appealing cuz they are sometimes buy 3 get 1 free and they are garunteed 50000

the bfg a/t are a classic

and the mtx is pretty nice i saw them in person once.

i dont wantto spend alot those three tires are all abou the same

Here is a site that well give you an idea on some prices.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compa...model=&sortCode=&sortValue=0&performance=ORAT

From the sound of things you are going to want to get bigger tires in the future. I would just get some cheap a/t like the Kumho's or find some used tires. I know that 31 or 32 will not be big enough with 5" of lift.

do you think that i should roll with a 33, and what about my fenders

Given the screeds of highway miles I've gotten on various BFG AT's and AT/KO's, I'd pick those. They should also be a little more "available," and easier to get a "road hazzard" warranty on (and if you don't think road hazzard is worth the four bucks, you've never had to replace one...)

BFG AT's in your size should be on sale at fairly regular intervals, from various sources (like Sears!) for about $80-90 each, make that $90-95 each set up, and maybe $100 each with road hazzard. Very good road manners and performance in the wet or dry, and they'll serve you fairly well just about anywhere (they do load up with mud, but if you're not spending a lot of time in the gooey stuff, carry a bag of clay kitty litter if you think you'll be there - it helps. I've done this - I'll usually have a 10# bag with me when I'm going cross-country anyhow.)

5-90

stay away, far away from procrap tires.

I have the mtx... good tire, quiet, good traction in all conditions, nice compromise between at and mt. At the current rate of treadwear Im only looking at get 23k-25k out of em TOPS....I could push them farther, but I dont like to get below 3/32nds before I swap tires out, usually sooner. They run small though, so keep it in mind.

I like tires that are a cross between an MT and AT...But, as much I would love Trxus, I got a feeling Ill go to BFG A/T's next.... they have such a good rep, and decent wear.

31 bfgs are everywhere.............find a set used(i did 32/11.5 for 120 mounted) and save for a big meats
