Of these 3 choices which one would u get and why and is there any other tires i should look at also just so u know these prices are canadian and they will be used on a vechile that will be driven mostly off road but will also see lots of city streets and some highway
BFGoodrich Tires 31X10.50R-15 BFG Mud Terrain Set of 4  705.99
Super Swamper 31X10.50R-R15LT TrXus Mud Terrain Set of 4  725.99
Super Swamper 31X11.50R-15 (Radial) TrXus STS Set of 4 735.99
Edit: and oh yeah based on these prices are these good prices and is there any other place in ontario canada that sells tires for these kinda prices anyplace else i asked was a lot more per tire than this place
-
thats expensive .... i paid 900 shipped for 4 bfg a/t's and 4 mickey thompson wheels wit centercaps and lug nuts all mounted and balanced. heres the sight http://www.ntwonline.com... happy huntin
-
was that american though?
-
I personally like a slightly wider tire so I'd go for the 11.50's if your wheel backspacing permits the extra rubber.
I paid $94ea for Swamper LTB's 31x11.5. They have been a good tire and never punctured. The down fall to some is that they are Bias.
-
I'm running BFG mudders right now and thay aren't too bad.
I've heard some good things about the TrXus tires though. (I personally love Interco tires and plan on getting some in the future)
Now it all depends on what you like to play on, or what kind of terrain you find yourself in most often.
Those TrXus sTs radials look pretty mean, but they don't look like they would clean very well in the mud.
The TrXus MTs look like they have way better side bite over the BFGs, not to mention sidewall protection.
So between those three I would probably go with the Trxus MT.
Do they offer them in bias ply too? or just radial?
-
The BFGs are the best for the street but might not have the side wall strength of the Swampers. The radial Swamper is the best for offroad but is REALLY LOUD on the street. I can't tell you about price unless you give me the US/Canadian conversion rate.
One final note: a "happy medium" on the tire choices you have given is the Goodyear Wrangler MTR. Not as loud as the Swamper, better side wall and rock crawler than the BFG.
-
my thoughts were the same on the sts is that the wouldn't clear the mud very well and the trxus MT tires are siped already from the factory
if i go with a 10.50 on stock rims am i gonna have problems i dont really wanna get spacers for the cost of them i've been told to just get new rims
for the most part i think i'll probly find myself on loggers trails and stuff i grew up in area were theres lots of dense forests with lots of nice trails adn sice i know them really well from going out there on my 3 wheeler when i was a kid those are where i'll probly be doing a lot of my offroading
1 us dollar is currently 1.33 canadian and shipping also has to be taken into account
When i searched the ntwonline site it directs me to the website i got these prices off for canadian sales
-
im in love with my ltb's 33 and they cheap (i know my signature says i have mud kings ooops)
-
Ya, LTB is the best Interco Value, 33x13.5-15
were a buck and a quarter each, I spent $825
mounted balanced on new RockCrawler wheels
with a no question replacement policy, with all
the taxes. (set of 4 tires)
-
I don't remember what type of rig you have, but on my 96 Track the 30 X 9.5s on the stock rims rub pretty good in sharp turns. The only mod I have is the coil spacers.
I would guess that 31 X 10.5s would be tough to clear without some sort of lift, at least on a track.
Good luck,
J
-
which one would u get
Round ones!
;D
I know that this will start up some debate, but in my limited experience, most offroad tires of equal class are indeed, created equal.

Round ones!
;D
I just ordered 33x12.50 Goodyear MTR's for mine. I'll get them put on tomorrow, and test them out in Moab 8)
Zig
-
??? MTRs ??? Are those the new offroad tire
I see on the Heeps ??? they are like $200
ea. ??? :'( I'd like to try those too but
Dang they are expensive .....
-
The 33's are $161 each at Wall Mart. I go them from a club members shop for $170 mounted and balanced.
Zig

Well that bites, our lame arse Wal-Mart
don't have those tires here, only AT junk :P
-
Call and ask them about it. Ours does not stock them but can order them and have them in 2 days ;) I just got back from getting mine mounted and they look and ride great. My old ass BFG MT"S shook like hell around 65, I rode home at 70 smoth as silk. They are alot quieter on the road too ;D Damn I can not wait to try them out on the trail. But it will be a few weeks, Power steering going in Sunday, then next weekend It gets exhaust, front end widening and new 1/2 shafts, and alignment. And some time before Moab I have to change all the fluids, fix an oil leak, and try to get that idle to slow down. DAMN I'm running out of time :o Did you get a camping spot?

What rpm does your idle at? Do you have an auto or manual trans?
-
It's a manual. It Idles around 2500 cold and then drops to 1800-2000 warm. It the the old surge when cold and then decided just to stay idleing high.
Zig
-
I am doing the same with my auto. It idles around 1300 in gear. Any less and it surges. Does that sound similiar to what yours does?
-
Mine started out surging the RPM when it was cold and then would idle down to normal after it warmed up. Then the surges started lasting longer. Now it just idles high all the time.

Clean the air bypass control, it's heated with
engine coolant, probably sticking, and it's
not electric so the computer has no say.
Yes Zig, I found a spot $10 a day, close to
the Market too, Up The Creek, Walkin campground.
I have not sent reservation check yet, is it a
lame camp or OK ?? sounded nice, and I don't
mind walking in, they might flip when they find
out I'm a wheeler, the lady e-mailed me and
warned me about all the motors on the trails,
LOL I said that it would be fine, but I didn't tell
her I was a wheeler. Most people that stay there
are hikers and mountain bikers.
-
Just a Heads up. The mountain bikers and hicker that Ive met up with so far are pretty much just there that week to make our life hell. The know were there that week and thats why they show up. To protest in a way. I think it was last year some tree huggin hippy dumpped 5 pounds of nails at the bottom of lions back. If youve ever seen lions back its like they are fine with pickin us off one at a time. >:( Im always nice to them cause Im sure their not all natzi's but Im very weary in their presence. Also they like to use camcorder to capture any footage of us doing something wrong. I accidentally drove over a tiny weed on heels revenge and got an earfull. I didnt even think of it cause at home here we run everything over. :-/ It grows back so fast it doesnt really matter. Out there things dont grow back so fast so I understand but they really take it too far.
Long story short... Find a new campground.

OK, maybe I could camp out with somebody and
share the space rent, seemed like most of the
sites were booked. I think it will be just me and my
brother if he goes thru with his plans, we are dropping
his wife off in Saint George at her mom's house to visit,
and continue trailering the Trucklet to Moab.
ARGH ...... Eco Natzi's
Almost nothing grows at Tierra Del Sol, that and
I think the Eco Nuts would get run over by the
1000 + 4x4s out there
