You're installing the 305's on your truck?

 

No. That's my dads spare. Just a fun comparison.

 

Correct just comparison for fun.

 

Oh ok. Are you going to go up in size one day?

 

Nah, no 35's for me. I daily drive my truck and like the drivability of 33's. Plus id rather not clearance for 35's when I've got it just right for 33's now. Aaaand not to mention the cost of regearing for 35's... My next set of tires will be a BFG K02 in a 285 again or 295. I want to get back on an AT, I love the MTR's offroad but they are getting really loud and not super enjoyable on road.

 

Don't blame you there mine is also a DD so I prob will not go to 35's anytime soon either. I like the looks of 285's but something keeps catching my attention with the 255's.

 

That's a good option as well! Great for clearance on the frame and fenders. I'm a wider tire kind of guy so that's why I've never gone that route.

 

Great set up OP.....how do you like the MTR's? Do they seem like they'll last as long as other tires you've had?

 

They wont last as long as duratracs I had before. I've got about 25k on them now and at this rate I've got about 10k left maybe. I love the tire off-road, but on road they act like a typical MT. Aired down the MTR is fantastic.

 

Makes sense.

 

10-4......thanks for the input. Looking at the MTR, Toyo MT or Nitto Trail Grapplers for my next set of victims. Already had the KM2's.

 

If I recall correctly the MTR is by far the lightest of those three, which I weighed heavily in my decision since those were also options when I went with the MTR.

 

MTR will out perform those other too easily offroad.

 

Pulled the wheels today to check for cracks and strap stretch. All is great! Looks better with dirt on it too
