Help on tires?

Hey im in the market for some new tires and was wondering if any of you had the tires and what you think of them thanks I will be offroad quite a bit and road noise isnt a factor,

 

What are you looking for? Are you gonna be offroad quite a bit or looking for something with good street manners, etc?

 

Offroad Alot forgot to mention that!

 

Have you tried searching on here? There is a TON of info on here about tires for various trucks, uses, budgets, etc...

Before voting, I would want to know a couple things...

1. What is your budget?
2. What is the primary use of your truck? (Weekend warrior, frequent wheeler, mall crawler, etc...)

Once you get that figured out, you can use that to narrow down your choices even more.

Good luck!

Best friends a tire rep sooo i get them for cheep and ill be basically mudding and messin around offroad.

 

I would recommend bf goodrich mud terrain km2's. I've had two sets of them now on two different trucks and they're awesome! The km2 performs great offroad, much better than many other tires I have witnessed, but it still has relatively good road manners for the type of tire; not too loud or rough, considering. Also, tread life is better than most other offroad tires, and the sidewall seems to be pretty tough. One downside is they are not an inexpensive tire, but I think they're worth the money. I'm a believer in you get what you pay for. Just my 2 cents

EDIT: I've never seen duratracs in action, but from what I've heard they're also a great tire, but more of an all around/all terrain, not quite as focused on offroad performance

 

If that's the case, why do you have it narrowed down to just those two?

I would go with the BFG Mud-Terrain KM2 or the Mickey Thompson MTZ's - I've owned both, wheeled with both and loved them both.

i just like the bighorns and have heard nothing but good things about the wranglers

 

I have almost 25k to 30k on my bighorns. I love them, I just tried talking a friend of mine into getting the same tire size and all on his 2011 4 runner. I have had no problems at all with mine. Noisy, but cheap and I am really glad I got them on my truck.

 

i heard the bighorns have a good lifespan

 

I drive kind of fast and its a rough ride to work as far as mountain and curvy driving, handles it no problem. Off road has been good so far too.

 

I only have a 4 mile round trip every day soo it will only be rough for 8 mins a day lol

 

If it were me, I would still go with the BFG M/T KM2 or MTZ's for what it sounds like you are looking for, and given that you are getting the hook-up on them.

With that being said, the Duratrac's are awesome and do have great reviews - they are what I will be getting when it comes time for tires.

If you go with the Duratrac's, be sure you sign for TreadLightly.org for a one-year, Individual membership and you can use the $100 Manufacturer Mail-In Rebate they offer. Net gain will be $75.

i can get the duratracs for 100 bucks a tire ;D

 

So then you're only looking at $325 for the tires (plus tax) if you do the Tread Lightly rebate.

I'd do that if I were you.

Regardless of how great the Bighorns might be...in my experience, you do get what you pay for. Maybe not right away, but in the end, that's how it's always gone for me.

Jump on that ^ I love my duratracks.

 

Hankook Dynapro ATm... because:

low price,
quiet ride,
great mud, snow and sand performance.

 

BFG All Terrain. Great on road manners, outstanding tread life, as well as good off road.
