I'm going to purchase some new tires... 4 of them, in about a week.

I'd like peeps opinions on the current best tires/wear/capabilites/cost from people who recently bought all new rubber. Preferably in the last year.

Companies change, quality changes, I'm interested in now. I researched on the site, but most peoples opinions are a little old.

I'm looking at BFGs KM2s. I have Cragar Soft 8s, 15 x 8 on the way to the house. I ordered them today. Should be here next week.

Thanks in advanced.

I've been looking a lot lately since I am in the market for new tires as well and I have come to the uiltimate conlcusion that I (personally) REALLY like the mastercraft courser MT's. And they're pretty reasonable from the right place!

I got new Firestone Destination A/Ts put on right before I bought mine 6 months ago. They perform really well in everything they've been in so far. I don't do any offroading, but I did take it out to some non-serviced back roads after a light rain, they had no troubles at all. If you take it easy on the gas, they perform great in snow too. Ice is a different story, but that's the same for pretty much all tires I think. Definitely recommend them!

I've been hearing good things about Goodyear and Firestone lately.
Haven't had much luck with those, burned out too easily.
Have they started making a better product?
How long do they last?

If I spend 800 on tires, I'd like them to last, not just look good.

How do you plan on using them?

I just bought a set of 31/10.5/15 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A Radials at discount tire for something like $700 for a set of 4 (it came with installation, balancing, alignment, road hazard insurance on 2 of the tires). Here are my ratings according to terrain.

Mud: Great
Light Snow: Good
Deep Snow: Awesome (I live in michigan and we see tons of snow every winter lol)
Gravel/Dirt roads: Good
Sand:Haven't tried it out but they're used in baja races so i'd bet they do well
Ice: Put it in 4wd and nothing will spin at all
Dry Asphalt: Awesome
Wet Asphalt: Awesome

They're good if you wheel with your daily driver like I do. The road traction is great along with the deep snow traction. So if you're in a state that sees tons of snow; by all means get em. I've heard that they can last as much as 50,000 miles so they're worth it plus this style has been in production for a long time so you know they're good.

im running goodyear mtr's and i love them, but my buddy just got a set of wrangler authority m/t's and they perform great we have been wheelin a couple times and they really impressed me

Seriousy? Goodyear? Has anyone looked at the Mastercraft courser? They're way better than goodyear (in my opinion...)

projectmayhem

ive proved my goodyears to be everything i thought they were and many of my friends have too, if your still *****ing about goodyear check what tires the military uses there goodyear, have you proved these mastercraft on and off road.

dilljeepo

HAHA this is an opinion forum not "let's fight forum"
I'm just saying everyone goes with goodyear and personally my second preference is good year but the mastercraft ones just look so much better and I think they're cheaper too!

projectmayhem

but the road mileage and off-road capabilities have been proven, look through off road magazines and look how many mtr's there are compared to mastercrafts.

dilljeepo

IN MY OPINION. doesn't mean FACT

dilljeepo

just saying Mastercraft are cheap if you find a deal online, then you don't have to put up with a dyeing name brand like Goodyear :P

I got these last winter.

Great in mud? You make me laugh.
Don't spin on ice? Yet again I laugh (even harder this time). Any tire without studs will spin on ice, and sometimes even with studs they will spin.

I have proven them on and offroad. Probably one of the LONGEST lasting mt's out there. They do decent offroad but that's because they're not the most aggressive mt.

Mastercrafts are made by Cooper so go ahead and add in all the Coopers too.
