who makes the best tires
#17
I will post some pics once I get the lift completed, hoping that will be tomorrow night as I have some free time after work to wrench. One more side of bastard pack springs, then the shocks and I am done!

this is such a generic question with no information on what your looking to do with the tires...
what are your needs? many tires are "Good all around tires" but many will exceed in one area while they lack in another..
What is your wheeling preference.. rock? mud? daily driver? towing?
I could say the best all around mud tire is the bogger, but it pretty much sucks in most other aplications...
While the KM2 is a great trail tire, but it does not do aswell in snow as a Trxus M/T..
Iroks do great In rocky conditions, but are fast to wear out on the road..
The new Mt/r is a strong tire, great for rock and dirt/tree rutted trails, but lacks in Snow and their is better out there for mud
Ya gotta be spacific.

The cooper STT are no good, im sure they will be awesome offroad, but a friend had a set on his cherokee and they barely lasted 20k miles, for bein almost 200$ a tire, my dad also has them on our 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab, they look great, but this truck has never been off road, and prolly never will be, so i dont expect the tires to last long either
nitto terra graplers are junk too from what ive been told by people, and pro comps are pretty nice but are oftly expensive!
in my opinion BFG A/T's are the way to go, ive had mine on for 33k miles already and they still have 50% tread or more, they are great in the rain and the snow, and they seem to do a decent job offroad in the mud, i only have 30"s on mine and all my friends even say they are impressed with how much **** i can get through with my little A/T's, and the mud terrains are great tires too, in my opinion BFG is the best tire company around, when it comes to any vehicle, my dads 70 chevelle has bfg radial t/a's, my buddys 9 second turbo fox body has bfg traction t/a's when its on the pony rims and not the slicks and skinnys, all jeeps should come from the factory with BFG shoes!

What kind of wheeling are you going to be doing? Also, will this be a DD? That is one of the biggest questions that will help get the best answers for you. But an overall tire, I would say the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R then the Cooper STT, Mud tire I would say Dayton/Firestone Destination M/T (Both same tire Dayton is usually cheaper tho), A/T tire.. Bridgestone Dueler A/T (REVO or 693) Dayton Timberline A/T

Hey guys, I need a tire that does well both on and off road. I don't off road often or roughly, but I still want something that can do well in the mud. 200$-250$ is my price range. 31". Please and thanks!
