Treadwright GB?

Awesome! Planning to order me a set of 265/75/16 sometime soon

So the tires in your sig are from an older pic I assume?

 

yes they are, i just put the guard dogs on last sunday with wheelers steelies. this is my second set, they are heavy, bigger than other 285's, and somewhat loud, but i like them alot.

 

I have about 5k on my Wardens with all street driving right now and they don't show any wear

 

Cool. Have you hit speeds up to 70-85? An itty bit of me is a little nervous driving with it from Northern Utah to SoCal when I ship my truck back home to Hawaii in August

But I know I shouldn't worry as they are said to believed to be basically like a brand new tire but idk.

 

Good news! Yea I've looked at the Warden's but I really like the tread pattern on the Guard Dogs. But either one is all good and especially at that price too!

 

yeah, no shakes.

 

I love Treadwright. Found out about the Guard Dog M/T through a friend of mine who crawls in a Suziki Samurai, and he ran the hell out of his so I bought a set of the Warren A/T's for my old ranger. When I got my Taco, the first and only tires I looked at were the GD M/T's, and have almost 20K on them and not a single problem with them yet. After my experience with the A/T's and M/T's, I won't buy tires anywhere else!!!

 

depends, if they keep upping their prices, along with shipping, it might become close to buying new tires.

 

Probably silly, but does it really matter what brand casing you choose? Personal preference? Brand reliability concerns?

I see a lot of people go with the BFG casings and not sure if it's cuz they're a popular brand, more reliable in the base casing of the Treadwright tire, or both? Sorry if this confuses anyone.

I should be placing an order sometime this week on some 265/75/16 Guard Dog's

 

my top choice casing was the nitto terra grappler, but when they were out of those i chose the BFG AT casing. i chose so because both the nittos and BFGs have a rim guard built into the bead, whereas the toyos that they also had in stock did not have that feature. there were some other factors that initially had me choosing the nittos over the BFGs, but you can't do much when they aren't in stock.

i'm sure some people just chose a casing that they are familiar with or had in the past, but if you look a little deeper, you can find functional differences between casings

 

+1 appreciate the help

I've got Nitto, Goodyear, and BFG as my top 3 choices as of now, but I'll look into the functional differences between those brands.

 

guard dogs are well worth the money. just got 285/70/17 on nitto casings with kedge. feel good on the pavement and high way

 

I don't think they allow you to pick casings anymore. Since they went BTB and all the tires now carry their brand name.

 

Getting mine rebalanced tomorrow. If they ride well I will be purchasing another set when I go up in tire size. just wished they made a 295/70/17

 

this is correct. i just bought a set of tw in march. and was told you no longer get to choose the casing with the B2B. so far mine balanced well, no vibes and smooth riding for a m/t compared to others imo. cant give longevity report yet, but so far so good

this was taken before lift

 

see, that irritates me. if i don't buy from treadwright again, it's because of that. Great company, great tires, and great customer service, but the ability to not only know what case i had, but pick as well, is what really lead my to buy from them. when you wheel, the sidewall, bead, and overall construction of the tire is just as important as the tread itsself.

 

I just ordered a set of Guard Dogs thru the phone early this morning and they let me request which brand casings I preferred. Also just got confirmation that they should be shipping tomorrow

 

not a b2b set, right? i believe that is only way to request

 

Yea I didn't get B2B.

 

You can request as long as you order 4 or 5
