OK here's what Im looking at:

1. Maxxis Creepy's M8090's (not Comp. Compound) 37x12.5x15

2. Super Swamper Iroks 36x13.5x15

Both are Bias tires.. and about the same size.. Im currently running Iroks and love them. I'm really considering going to the Maxxis Creepy's unless someone talks me out of it. I dont see much pavement anymore and wheel here on the East Coast.

Tell me your feelings and I'd like to hear from those running the tires....especially the NON-Comp Creepy's.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Something new besides SS... but who am I kidding... I'm goin SS cause I can't afford creeps...
 
How long are teh 8090's supposed to last? Whats the difference in mileage between the comps and the 8090's?
 
Nick,

The comps only come in 40's I believe.... and I'm not up to running 40's right now.

The 8090's have 27/32 of tread so they should last a little bit... but my jeep rarely (if ever) sees the road anymore. If I can find a decent price on the Creepys... I'm probably going to pick up either some 37x12.5's or 38x13's.....

When you want to wheel??????

PS> Nick, running the Comp Compound on the road would be a very expensive mistake...
 
I absofarkinglutely love my creepys. From what I have seen so far, they have outperformed the IROK's in every terrain except for the snow. I haven't had them in DEEP snow yet, so really can't give an opinion.

Most of the "hardcore" guys that I wheel with out here, run IROKS, Krawlers, or MTR's. I've seen a few MTR sidewall failures. The BFG Krawlers, never seen a problem. The tires survive until they are bald. Iroks, seen a few sidewall failures in the radial flavor. But the IROKS wear FAST.

Given the choice between what you have picked, go with the creepys. They are expensive, but worth it.
 
Have you considered Krawlers?

Just didn't know they made two different types of rubber for them...now i do.

I'm up for wheeling any time, but I had a change of heart midstream with my "little" project and it'll be off the road for a bit longer yet. Full hydro here I come!

UNCC any response to my Pitbull Rocker Suggestion?
 
I've heard good things. Theres a guy that has a jeepspeed rig built is sponsered by them. I was just throwing sh*t out there for ya. They're a tough tire though ik that.
