Another thought, tires like Super Swamper TSL's/Radial TSL's are really great tires and can really grab.

But,  tires like thouse can help break parts.  Especialy things like that alu. front housing and stock CV axils.  I know I brake the axils enoff with my MTR's.

If your spining in some mud and come upon say a rock, log or fresh dirt, the tires grab and "snap" there goes another part.

I find that the MTR's give me just the right amount of grab but yet not super hard on the parts.

Like I said earlier, they grab the best over rocks, but you dont get that tire spining/grabing shock that you can get in the mud.

Thats a good point. My freind used to run Boggers and switched to those MTR's because of that. When I do by tires again I'll for sure go with MTR's. Till then I'm running Swampers and no front Locker, Yet!

Don't worry about braking stuff.
It'll happen on its own.

Just stay away from Boggers. Great tire but no slip and thats way things break.

The MTRs have the right amount of give in them but so do Swampers. I think two of the best tires to have.
BUT
Thats just me.

Bias-ply TSL's are cheaper than MTR's, aren't they?

Only by 50 bucks each.
But I went Radial Swampers 132 bucks Vs 175 to 185 bucks.
But if you got the green backs buy MTRs.
If not (not everbody does)
Any good  Swamper will do.

Great topic!

i just bought a set of 28 in tsl for my g/f stock tracker for snow tires.  i got them from
http://www.ntwonline.com/
they were real great to deal with and shipping to IA was pretty low.  oh, they were around $84 each i think, pretty much the cheepest place i could find with shipping added in,  got them about 8 days after order.

as far a breaking things goes.... wouldnt it be that no matter what you run, the bigger the tire the better the chances of breakage?

am only putting 30" tsl sx on mine so im hoping this theory holds up a bit :P

Yes, the bigger the tire the easier it is to break things.

It's like putting a cheater par onto a braker bar to bust a bolt loose.  The longer the lever, the greater the torque.

So, the taller the tirer the greater the torque is on the drive train.

OK, so I was looking through on of my 4x4 magazines... specifically at the tire ads to see the general price of things when I noticed an extra number after the height, width, and wheel diameter... anyone know what it is?



EDIT: I just realized that's probably the recommended wheel width...

And the more ply's you have the stronger the side wall.  Also the stiffer the side wall will be.
