Cant decide on tires

[Trail Duty]

I don't know, those Toyo's I had were heavy and not near as sticky on the rocks. 

^This. I agree 100%. I'm currently running Toyos, and although they are great on the highway, they are heavy as lead (my 33's weigh the same as a 37" MTR) and I am less than impressed with their ability to grip and clean out. Plus I have to air down to around 10 psi just to get some flex out of the tire. The only thing I will give them is that they are tough as nails and wear well. I haven't had any rips, tears, or chunking; and after ~25,000 miles they still have plenty of tread left.

I have 37 pbrs on the TJ.  Sidewalls are very stiff and take a lot of time to break in.

What do you mean flat spots haha..


Not bad on noise, but they do get flat spots sitting that take 5 minutes or so to work out when the tire heats up.

Isn't your AZ wheeling a bit different then our GA wheeling? I would think, what the hell do I know, that an AT like the Falken would perform better for ya since you will have more rubber contact with the rock and your not hitting any mud that would require the tire self clean. Just a thought.

Different dude...this is not Richard.

A lot of AZ guys put water in the front tires. There are a lot of vertical climbs and that makes the front end light. A lot of guys will run reds freaking bald because they have so much traction avaliable out there.

You guys are mixing me up with the gramar nazi...

Like I said.... What the hell do I know! Sorry!!! Once again, I prove the only perfect one was put on a cross for me!

Flat spot- tire sits on hard flat surface for awhile (overnight) and now the tire isn't round. Ride will now be rough for a few miles until the tires warms and returns to being round

Edit: I too run MTR tires. Great all around and work very well offroad for our loose terrain

I have KM2's 35's on a 15x8 steel wheels. The wheel weighs 25 lbs, tire 60.5 (85 total). I have a new 315/75/16 KM2 on a steel 16x8 as a spare & it weighs 96 lbs. Just guessing but 17's would probably be heavier.
