I beg to differ. I ran 31x11.50 baja claws on my '87 Samurai, and for the coquina quarries, sand, and poo-thick mud here in Florida they performed great - probably "just better" than a regular M/T, but they're no TSL. I was also surprised about the minimal amount of noise from them for their aggressive tread style.

 

I may get some strong opinions on this one but I have had 2 sets of BFGs and both have caused problems. I even had one set give me the death wobble! Yes they were balanced and hardly worn. So I don't want anymore of those things.

I have had 2 sets of Buckshots though and that is what is on my jeep now and I like them. I have 2 tires that are getting low on tread so they need replaced plus I want to go bigger. But I am just thinking I might be better to stay with a mud tire because they are going to be easier to find.

 

the M16 is a show tire. check out the sizing charts. my BFG MTs are great. the BFG ATs and MTs were the standard other tires were judged against for years. only recently have new "hybrid" tread designs come out to offer the best of both worlds. If i hadnt got a very good deal on mine from a friend, i'd be running cooper STTs most likely.

quarries and sand are best suited for a tire that wont dig, but anything aired down will work. and FL sand is pavement compared the OBX and Long Island beaches. i've never seen a baja claw impress me, ive just seen them not do well.

tires dont cause death wobble, and BFGs are made to very high standards when compared to a maxxis cheapo buckshot.

 

BFG a/t best tire for all around and you dont get the noise and milage loss as far as the mud tire wear in my opinion/experence

 

the tires I had did cause the death wobble for me, because soon as I changed tires it was gone.

 

Bad tires can cause death wobble..Now a specific brand isn't but if you get a bad tire even when buying new it can and will cause issues like death wobble..

 

We don't know the conditions you are seeing so it makes it harder to give you a really accurate recommendation.

The BFG A/T is a really good tire for everything BUT mud. They wear well, handle well, generally balance well.

The Bridgestone Dueler Revo works the same way. Very good for everything BUT mud. Same idea.. good wear, good handling, balance easy

The GoodYear MT/R is a GREAT tire for the rocks and the dry conditions folks see out west. Problem is thats all it does well. It is worse than many other tires in the mud and on the street. It doesnt wear particullary well, and they get scary when worn on wet and slippery surfaces/

The GoodYear Wranglers are the same idea. The don't wear well, and get VERY scary on wet surfaces. A close friend had two blow out on his Durango as we were sitting at a campground. Sounded like a shotgun went off under the truck. About pooped our pants.

The Firestone Destination M/T. Its a M/T. It sounds like it on the road, and Im not crazy about their weight handling. I run a 33x12.50 and my Cherokee feels like it is floating down the road on them. The sidewalls seem to be medium on the flexability charts, but they REALLY chew up the mud and dirt trails.

Dunlop Mud Rovers... Cheap Mud tire. Heavy carcass, stiff sidewall, wear like iron and ride like it. If you dont care about the noise, ride, how the tire flexes, this is the cheapo off-road tire for you....

 

cooper discover s\t great all around tire in pouring down rain or off road in the mud.

 

Ok my conditions are as follows, I will be driving it as a daily driver,but I do like the trails and I live in kentucky. When its wet its muddy as hell, everywhere. I hunt , fish and will be pulling my boat. I don't care if its a small trail and it scratches my paint. I didn't buy it for show, it is a 4 wheel drive vehicle and is used like that. I don't want to go skyhigh with it because of the low clearence of trees thats why I am probably only going with 31's at the most.

 

ok i dont know what everyone elses opinion on them are but im running the big o xt. and they seem to be doing good so far they were kinda hard to get balanced but after that they are doing good noisy as hell but i expected that.

if the tires are bad enough to cause any sort of wobble, even something remotely as intense as death wobble, they have a manufacturing defect. i think youre mistaking a bit of shimmy for DW

 

ok let me clear this up, I did 20 mph and I took up 4 lanes because the jeep bounced all over. This was death wobble and it was the tires. But the jeep is gone now so I don't have to worry about that. I have another one I am working on.

 

i got mickey thompson baja radial atz's over 2 years still great tread and perform well in mud

 

Well you know what they say, tires start the wobble, bad part enhances it. So something was allowing the wobble to accelerate. I've seen some good branded tires cause wobble cuz they were not balanced correctly and something like the trackbar was loose.
