If I could get an irok in my price range I would sacrifice wear.

I really like the look of the creepies(look very agressive), but just can't swing em.

I had the mtr's before. Great street tire in my opinion. But not agressive enough for what I want. Same with the firestones. The km2's are definitely not on the table. All those are street tires in my opinion. Not really looking for that.

The crushers seem to bridge the gap. Little more agressive, but maybe some decent mileage.

I have had the swampers before, truxus (were horrid in my opinion) mtr's were great for a street tire, and I had the bfg AT purely street tire. And dick cepek fun countries(which I liked) but you can't get any longer.

My brother has the mud rovers which work great except in deep mud, LOL. We pulled my friend around in is toyota with km2's, so they are out, LOL.

That is why I was asking about the crushers.


Thanks for the input.
You've sure got a strange definition of a street tire. If you're looking for a competition style tire i hope you've got a Daily driver. If you think those Federals wear fast wait till you get a competition tire on there. I would go with the Crushers before a competition tire.

Probably just go with the crushers, or swampers. Its all I can afford.

Best tires for you. And I can appreciate that. From my limited experience with them they are not the tires for me.

They seem to not pull you through the areas where I wheel as well. They seem to pack up very easily. Sure I could run them. But I don't think I would be happy with them.

A guy in our group has a new set of 33's. And he struggles in a lot of places where others do not.

me too, but i didn't feel like getting into it. I absolutely loved them.

Not that this means anything, I entered a rockcrawling competition with them, of about 24 rigs, most being built more than mine, a couple buggies, and many on what are considered to be more aggressive tires, I finished second in Points, first was on Cooper discoverer STTs.

Most every modern mud terrain works great.

I do like the look of those. 218 per tire for a 35 also is pretty good.

Not quite as open of a tread as I wanted. But they may be an option.

Thanks

We had a guy in a toyota that wheeled with us on a very muddy day. He had two tires that were literally showing cords.

Went almost everywhere.


Still I won't wheel with completely bald tires. 8)

No km2s, sorry fellows, read my sig line LOL

Mine lasted about 25k and they're bald. Might get 30k if you rotate them every 1000 miles.
