February 17, 200719 yr hey guys its me D, back again with a nother fun thread... i want to know what tires you guys are rocking, and while your at it, dont be afraid to include tread life, durability, traction, cost, where you got them, and of coarse picks of them(in action or not). make it a good thread guys, show 'em off:burnout: (i got permission by Zapar to post this too:cool: )
February 17, 200719 yr Kumho Venture M/T's 27x8.5R14's (197mm wide, 26.3 inches tall) 6ply side wall. Tread life I estimate at 35,000km to 40,000km. Cost, expensive.... ($180AUD) My brother is on Goodyear Wrangler TG's which are 185/75R14's (185mm wide 25.8 inches tall?) 6 or 8 ply side wall? Him and his mate reckon they'll get somewhere between 30,000km to 50,000km. The guy at the tire shop said they see them get upto 80,000km on vans. Cost, $140AUD, pretty cheap for this kind of tire. And a picture for the road
February 17, 200719 yr sorry to hijack...runnin' 195/70 r15's on the legacy, no real off road pics yet(kinda afraid to get it dirty just yet), goodyear cargo vector's. good all around tread for dirt and gravel. had them on my GL for a while and tore up some S**t in that. I'll see if i can find a pic or two.
February 17, 200719 yr I have 205/60/15 uniroyal winter SRX's They are basicaly an agressive all terrain tire.Treadwear ?not sure,but they are snow tires...They do alright offroad.I havent been stuck once because of there tread.I got stuck once 'cause one front tire was off the ground and one rear tire didn't have alot of weight on it either. had I known to press the brakes and gas to act as a poor man's LSD I probally wouldnt have been stuck
February 17, 200719 yr super swampers are the best for mud thats what Ive been running for almost 2 years , on my new project Im running KOOKs why better road tire and they will be great
February 17, 200719 yr Author i know this sounds really dumb(and yes i am aware of gearing and power) but what a bada$$ tire, super swamper TSL Thornbirds:eek: :eek: those look like the tire to have....spendy spendy spendy tho...i want something agressive, but cheap
February 17, 200719 yr 27X9.50X15 super swamper SSr's are $97 I wish they sold swampers here... Although I want a good road tire as well as offroad tire, and I've heard swampers are soft.
February 17, 200719 yr I run 28x8.50x14 Bias ply super swampers.. I love them. They are awsome in the mud.. On the street, well they are really loud because i have no carpet on the inside. but even before i ripped that out, they are pretty loud, and have flatspots in the mornings lol.. But if you want to go the hole 9 yards for an offroad tire. get the swampers.. on my car cleaned up On my car, well not so cleaned up Btw, they really dig at 7k rpms
February 17, 200719 yr BF Goodrich Allterrain t/a's. 235/75r15 Quiet on the road, and do a fairly good job offroad. $130 apice, US money. I commute an hour and a half each day, so wear and noise are important.
February 17, 200719 yr Bridgestone Dueler APT 225/70R14, quiet on the road and highway. good medium duty tire. good traction offroad and in snow. have yet to test them in mud. i know their nothing special but for what i paid ($100 for all 4 90% tread left) i couldnt pass it up.
February 17, 200719 yr Author haha clay your crazy:headbang: ...yeah i really wanted to do the ssr's but i want to get at LEAST 20,000 miles out of a tire
February 17, 200719 yr I dont know to much about the ssr's. But im sure they last pretty long comapred to bias tsl's.. Mainly because they are radials.. I forgot to mention, my tires were around 85 bucks a piece. Got them from les schwabs, but you can get them damn near anywere.

February 17, 200719 yr sry it was from a friend so i guess u could say it was limited time offer/while supplies last...hehe, yeah i wish i could get a pair of ssr's but money is tight.
February 17, 200719 yr I run 28x8.50x14 Bias ply super swampers.. I love them.

Nice tyre not to bad on price and radials Tim
February 17, 200719 yr i know this sounds really dumb(and yes i am aware of gearing and power) but what a bada$$ tire, super swamper TSL Thornbirds:eek: :eek: those look like the tire to have....spendy spendy spendy tho...i want something agressive, but cheap Thornbirds are the most overrated tire ever. no better performance offroad than any other Mud-terrain tire out there. and much more expensive. For a dedicated M/T, you can't beat the TSLs if street manners are a consideration, BFG M/Ts, Kumho M/Ts, etc. if cost is a major factor....the Uniroyal Liberator A/Ts from Wal-Mart are about as cheap as they come.
February 18, 200719 yr if street manners are a consideration, BFG M/Ts, Kumho M/Ts, etc. Yeah, I want to put some BFG's on my 15"s, but I want 235 wide and nothing over 28" tall.. hmm. What they need to make is a 235/65R15 M/T haha The BFG's have much better side tread then the Kumho's
February 18, 200719 yr On the lifted rig, I run some Bronco M/T 235/75/R15's (Cooper Tire) during the summer, were cheap tires I got for next to nothing from my Brother's shop. For the winter I run some WinterForce 235/70/R15's because the M/T's suck in the ice and snow, I paid a good amount for these but they rock in the snow. My Summer Tires: Winter Tires WinterForce:
February 18, 200719 yr BFG's are so expensive :-p tho yea, well, that's where you have to make the decision. you're not going to find a tire with the offroad traction of a swamper, the on-road behavior of an all-season, and the cost of the liberators.... Traction Tread-life Cheap pick 2.
February 18, 200719 yr Another for the SSR's, I think they're really nice offroad. Have a set for my low ridin lesbaru.
February 19, 200719 yr Author Another for the SSR's, I think they're really nice offroad. Have a set for my low ridin lesbaru. do you think the SSR's would go 20-30,000 miles mostly on dirt?
