time for tires

Might be time for tires

I was thinking the General red letters 265/75/16

I've had BFG a/t's on my last few trucks, they are ok I suppose
but I would like to try something new.

any suggestions?

 

not a big fan of bfg a/t ko's either. goodyear has a tire the "wrangler authority" only available through wal-mart. basically a bastardized version of the dura-trac i believe but cheaper. it out-performed the bfg's 2-1 but were a bit louder and required some serious weight to balance. that was my experience on my 92 and they wore very square and slow. ill be getting a set on my taco by winter unless these damn toyos would wear out before hand

 

Generals!

 

another complaint would be that since they are only available through wal-mart, that means they do all of your tire service after they suck you in on the warranty.

actually the only tire-shop i've been in where they actually use a torque wrench on lug nuts but it takes them forever trying to juggle you among a bunch of shit-heads who think they diserve a free replacement after the neighbors dog pissed on a tire or something.

come to think of it, maybe the dura-tracs from a real tire shop

 

those generals are rad aside from the price

 

Nitto Trail Grappler

 

The Wheels and Tire section of the forum has loads of tire threads you can browse for opinions and reviews.

The BFG A/T is an ancient, outdated tire and I haven't seen enough evidence to convince me that the General red letters are worth it.

Many people rave about the Wrangler Duratrac. The Cooper STMaxx is also a great tire. So far I'm really liking my set of Hercules Trail Digger M/T.

 

nittos too. the terra grappler is a great all terrain, my brother got 40,000 miles on his taco. he never wheeled em hard but i tried them in the snow. worked well.

no experience with the trail grapplers but im sure they're great

 

It really depends on what kind of driving you do and what terrain you're on ,thenn we can pick out the best tire for your application

Generals FTW

 

grabbers suck. i can't wait to get rid of mine... so not worth the price

looks like we're posting pics of our ball grabbers, so here...

 

yup did my reading

I think more than anything I would like reviews from people who are running them.

and assuming they are available , I will have Tom's tires in LB do them.

Been there and they do good work , they have the road force balancer and actually use a torqe wrench not a "torqe stick"

 

grabbers are too heavy and will get you mpg downnnn

 

Matt only says that cause he was stuck every 5 min in pismo 4wd

 

Have you had the BFG all terrain? If so how would you compare them?

 

which turn pink. i took a knife to my sidewalls and cut the letter patches off

 

that has some to do with it... only because when a tire is down to 8 PSI the sidewalls should budge a bit

but i was over the grabbers before that trip
