ok. b4 we get started... i dont want any low-grade tires, such as mud brute, maxxis, or another along those lines. there great for mud, i admit.. but if u dont rotate every 5,000 miles thy feather bad and wear quciker!!


i am looking along the lines of Dick Cepek, Nitro, DynaPRo, goodyear. any other i may have missd. the size will be 33x12.50/18 , they are going on Moto Metal 951s..

who has experience with any of the above, how did they perform overall, how many miles can i expect to get, and cost.


i have had 3 sets of dick cepek radials.. got almost 60 K out of every one of them. they by far have my vote but i cant spend 300 a piece on tires!! looking to spend 200- 250 per tire.

I just put some Goodyear Wrangler Authority's on the old lady's Equinox, they whine a little and grip like a bitch, but I don't have any long term wear info for ya. The guys at the tire shop, plus all the online sites had great reviews about them.

Bfg mudterrains. Look good, pretty aggressive in the mud, and they last a long forkin time

not sure if they are still makin the parnelli jones but those were some real nice tires

Toyo Open Country AT and MT

Both great tires

I have almost 40k on a set of MT and still have lots of life left if I can keep my foot out of it LOL

I went with goodyear g622s!!! 100K tread life! Prob not what you're looking for but I like em! Before these I had Mickey Thompson Baja Claws and they were worthless. Worst tires I've ever paid money for. Heard good things about the Nittos.

BFG mud terrains have my vote. Many of the tire ratings show them having good ratings across the board. Yeah they are a little more pricey but in the experiences I have had with them they are well worth it. Whats on my rig now and will be on it when these wear out.

I do know the absolute highest tire ratings all around went to bfg a/t's. And gotdam, 100k tread life? Best I've seen before was 80k.

toyo open country m/ts all the way. i run 6 285/75/17s on my dually. i can tell you, ive hauled a 24 ft cattle trailer with 10 momma cows in it in water and mud up to the center caps and never looked back. 25000 miles and still got plenty of grip left on them.





i also ran a set of 35x12.50/17 on my old 3/4 ton. i only had 5000 miles on them when i sold the truck, but the guy who bought it still has them on the truck.

drews seal and marcus yota... all daz missin in bubs hoe.



i am looking hard now at the BFG and Toyo. hopefully one will offer sumthin in a 33x12.50 without breakin the bank.

I'm running the Toyo A/T on my truck. I went with the 10 ply tire. A little more pricey, but well worth it. My tire guy said that on my 1/2 ton truck I should see 70 to 80k miles. I've got about 8000 now, and they look like the day I put them on.

Nittos Suck

Ive pulled out my buddys 3/4 ton powerjoke many of times. They just cake up and well... They suck like i said before.

i really wanna run 35's, but i dont wana put a 6" lift to run them..

i ran 33x12.50 s all day long without rubbin, then i ran a 34x10.50, it was CCCLLLOOOSSSEEE to rubbin, so i know i cant run 35s stock.

lookin on tire rack now,

tim i have an 06 chevy z71. i have the torsion bars tightend in front and 3" blocks in rear.

if imma spend 600 on a 3" lift, imma spend the other 300 and get a 6"..

but of course i gotta prioritze now b/c i still am jobless.. lol

I am running the BFG KM2's 285-75-16's and I love'em. They look like the rock Crawler tire. They are a really good looking tire And last a long time.

Call PepBoys. My 285/75/16 are $140 a piece and you only have to buy 3 the 4th one is free. They're fine MT's with a 40,000 mile warranty. Dakota MT

40,000 mile is junk. im not goin that cheap.

Negro Please! 40,000 mile warranty is good for mud tires

i can tell youve never had a dick cepek, goodyear, or nitto mud tires... u pay more for htem, but u get around 55-60 K.. also thats why i said all terrain in my post as well.. hell ive seen ppl in the rodeo industry gettin close to 80 K out of a set of tires on a dually! stuarts friend that i used to rope with had 72 K on a set of dicks when he sold the truck!

I've had them all. If you want to pay the money then do it. If you check out the PepBoys brand you'll get em. Just tryin to help you out.

pep boys doesnt carry anything in 18".

ok let me get this str8, u would rather buy a cheap tire and buy new lets say once a yr? (as the case with me.. i put over 40 K on a vehicle a yr, some years close to 50)

or spend an extra 300 and get a set that lasts 2-3 yrs on avg? money is not really an object here. im probly gona wind up spendin over a grand on a set of tires. u gotta realize theres a 50-75 dollar price difference between a 16 inch and a 18 inch tire...

It's your money.

If i drove 50k miles a year I'd get some street tires... and if I had to drive down oilfield roads a winch... or just get a toyota. Just sayin

where bouts is this crawfish farm? It's not around Hamburg, AR is it?

I run hankook dynapro mt's. They pull pretty good and the are a smooth riding tire unlike the mudbrutes I had before. I have about 15k miles on them and they don't seem to have worn much at all. Plus they are 10 ply which is a plus.

I have the new Goodyear Duratracs...they are a real aggressive all terrain. They have done real good in the mud and have about 20,000 on them right now and they are wearing great.
