Which tire do you think is better for wa wheeling

MarcW · Jan 24, 2011

Since there is no wheeling in washington, I say BFG all terrain.

uprunner · Jan 24, 2011

That tire wasn't an option haha thanks for your 2 cents though:hi:

Mtr hands down the best tire option there is:beer:

New MTR's are better, try and buy new at discount tire and get the warranty

Whatever has the thickest sidewall possible.

I went through two sets of BFG's before i found myself into Maxxis tires.

thats why i went with the new MTRs

I was a Krawler fan for a long time, and recently switched to the MTR's after watching them perform very well over the last 2 years or so since they've been out. SO far I've been very impressed with the MTR, but I've ONLY run it in the snow. I have yet to get them in a normal trail environment, but I have no doubts they will continue to work well. They are also much better priced than the Krawlers. For reference, I'm running them in 37x12.5x17.

mtr...repaired krawlers and believe the side walls are tougher...but have repaired more krawlers than mtr....new mtr havent been out long./

OK so how would the m t r s. Hold up on a dd?

TreeClimber · Jan 25, 2011

I am pleased with my Krawlers.
They provide good all around traction, and I beat the holy livin' crap out of 'em. It's not uncommon to be at 2 or 3 psi in the snow, and 5 +/-psi in the dirt/rocks. I did have to go to a beadlock to keep them on the wheels. I've destroyed only one tire, in many years. It was during a banzai! attempt on an ice-coated hill, and I hit an exposed root at full throttle. I actually didn't even know I'd killed the tire, as I was still maintaining positive forward traction/momentum. It was only after I was stopped, that I noticed it was sitting low on that side. Brian attempted a sidewall repair, but the cut was too close to the lip for a successful repair.
