Title: Mike how are your mtr's holding up?
Post by: Alex on September 23, 2008, 09:22:55 PM
How do you like them so far?  Would you recommended them.  How have they worn on the street?  I think i am going to get the 37x12.50r15 for my next tire.  They are cheap as can be and i think they are relatively light weight for the tire size.  BFG doesn't sell a 37 in a 15inch rim so this is what i was looking at.  I know the dana 30 will not like it but hey why not nln.  I don't mind replacing ball joints every year and i can get spare shafts for cheap.  I just need a tire to last over 20,000 miles.

They looked pretty good when I saw them the other day. Not sure how many miles though.

A pretty good bit if I remember correctly. I remember asking him at Tellico and this was my reaction to the amount of tread still left    :o

IF molly would let me i would build a 44 but she wont let me spend the money on it.  I think the 30 willl be fine untill i get out of college and can afford a real axle.

A buddy of mine has a set of 37x12.50x15 MTR's for sale that I am thinking about buying.  :)

I have about 24,000 miles on them and they have well over 50% tread left. They're still quiet on the road and they still have plenty of grip off road. I have zero complaints about them. I would buy them again. They weren't cheap in 17" though. I paid about $ 1700 for five of them, which made them the same price as the KM2's.

I'm probably gonna run 38x14.50 KM2's on my next set. In the Goodyears, I would have to jump up to a 40 to get the extra width I want. I kind of want something for a comparison also.

I just sucks that I drive so much. I really hate seeing tires melt away since they cost so much. The 38's are gonna cost me about $2200 or so. Hopefully I can get another year and 20K out of them. 

I really need to start riding my motorcycle more.  ;)

Here's a picture. Nothing for reference, but it's something.

Sure looks like awesome wear for 24,000 miles.  {toast}  Especially when they bite as well as they do.

Another thing I like about them is the sidewalls are tough! I am always amazed at the sidewall "non buldge" when aired down.

Well, considering mine buldge like a fat donut at 10, I was impressed.

Well as much as i want the km2's i think this might be my next tire.  I can get them unstalled for just over 1000 which is about the price of the 35'' km2's.  We will see how long the 30 likes it.
