Good Off Road tire

[buRRp]

I am gonna be looking at getting some tire here in the near future. I will be going with 35's and am wanting a M/T. What good and what is everyone using? Post pics if you can. Thanks

Depends. If you want long-lasting highway-friendly or something that'll get you through the slop. Cooper Discoverer STT is going to be the best bet for a lot of on-highway use/long life but not as aggressive tread. Whether or not you can get one is 35" I'm not sure. Another option might be the TSL radial. Might not be as long-lasting as the STT but longer than the bias ply TSL.

The ATTACHED was one I was looking at. It would probably see 60 - 70% of on road use.

That should say STT's. Damn auto correct.

It would be a good choice then but just dont expect it to clean the lugs very well, more like an A/T. It'll clean OK with more throttle though.

 

[buRRp]

More throttle is always a good thing. I will see what other say. I'm open for ideas.

There's really a ton of nice MT-type tires that fit your needs, even a lot of the off brand types are good. Are you planning on buying from a local tire shop, or ordering online?

 

[buRRp]

Probably locally. There's a lot of tire shops around here. And the local 4x4 store.

Anyone heard of Federal MT's?

Sounds familiar... they might be the same tire (but different name) that I have on my Burb. They are called Baja MT and the brand is Widetrack, they were bought new at Firestone, but IIRC they were made by a company called Peerless.

Mine don't look like that, but then again, they're fairly old now.

They do look like a nice tire. Looks like they would have a lot of grip and also good at self cleaning. One thing I notice is the contact patch is a bit on the narrow side, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

So many choices to look at.

Maxis makes a decent mt if it's not your dd...otherwise you'll want something that will last a little longer... but the maxis buckshot is a decent 'cheaper' tire

If they would do away with paved roads wed rarely need new tires lol
