All of them went up about a month ago. Reds took the largest % increase.

I found a set of 4 Krawlers Red label for $2k. 90% tread, 8 years old.

That sounded like too much money to me, so I looked around and I can get brand new set of 4 delivered to my door for $2350. Which is still a lot of money for just 4 tires lol.

37s, 39s, 40s? (Do they make all of those now?)

39" reds are in stock.
42" reds they are saying maybe June but they have changed dates twice.
37" reds no production date as they say there is no demand.

They are trying to keep up with the kr2 and kr3 demand. They are saying reds could run out during the summer but depends on the kr demand and if they can keep up to produce reds.

Kr2 and kr2s are in stock.

Kr3 should be in at the end of the week. Kr3s should be soon to follow.

Yes, those and sticky treps and sticky mtrs grip dry rock much better. Noticeable difference to crawl obstacles others cannot. Soft and wear it get on the road, They wear fsst on red rock because it's Rock everywhere

Red labels seem to consistently be the best gripping, then treps, then others.

The red 42 on 20 is said to not be the same compound and not as sticky but they work very well and wear less

Made a phone call this morning. The 42" is the same as the 39" and 37".

Interesting.  My info is from Larry McRae that is on the BFG team and got one of if not the first set for his LJ so that was way back a few years maybe now?  Time flies.   
Who is your source?

Jackson motorsports...my sales guy.

I don't see it could be. Structure, maybe. Compound..eh. seems like too must cost to change for one tire only

I agree it should be the same, perhaps it was the feel of the smaller sidewall.Wait, its probably close to the same or bigger

I wish they would make it in 17s and not ust 20s.  Or do they now?

They don't make them in a 17". Here is my educated guess as to why: the sidewall of a krawler has more flex than any other tire. I think that along with the compound makes them work so well. With a 17" wheel, that's a lot of sidewall that would show. It may flex too much or would fold over itself.

They made a short run of kr2s 42" sticky tire that available. Again a 20" wheel. Bfg may know something the others don't about sidewall to width ratio.

Sounds like BFG fanboy dreaming?

If I had free tires showing maybe I would claim that...lol. I pay for them like the rest, so far from it.

Maybe BFG knows that much of their sidewall is to risky...sidewall cuts if you park too close to a root or rock  //popcorn//

Can't deny they work well though.

Whoa...I saw an Almighty PBR get taken out by a root recently.  I think the guy was on a Sunday stroll past it when it happened.

Well, Sunday Race Day Stroll

Edit: it was a radial

Reds are certainly a plus in dry rocks.  Takes a while for them to be broken in, and they seem stickiest at 50% tread.

I see that Interco sells the Iroks in a sticky, anybody have the scoop on these?
