Hey okc, I got the MT/R look-alikes....

And even though the tread PATTERN is damn near identical to the MT/R, the lugs are much smaller (not as wide) and spaced out slightly more than the MT/R. I can't say whether this makes them better, worse, or makes no difference at all, but I'd assume it can do nothing but help, as it should allow more instances of "bite" since more lugs will hit the ground, and more room to clean out mud/snow since they're spaced further apart.

It'll be interesting to see how they work offroad and in the long run..I am seriously considering a set of the MT's once they have more in stock..I was really leaning towards a 32" tire but I may go with a 31" tire so I don't have to trim. Will do me till I can fix all the mechanical crap and then look for Long Arms and more lift..oh and a full size truck with a trailer..

Hey trueblue you mind getting a side snapshot of the tires on the jeep? I wanna see what they look like on a 3.5" lift. Trying to decide on tire size for the jeep.

3.5 inch lift, 31" mtrs, no trimming




I have since trimmed front and rear, since on full stuff my tires would hit the fenders a little bit.

I will be taking a 1600 mile round trip soon to Wyoming from my house in Northern MN. I was thinking about getting an all terrain tire to drive out there. My Jeep is eating my mud terrains alive and I would like to try to save them for a couple rides this spring. Think these would be a good choice to depend on for the trip? ps i do not need any input on why my jeep is eating the tires. the rear end and the front end are 3 inches off square when measuring from lower ball joint to shock mount in the rear.??? It has a salvage title so who knows

No what they list is all they sell. You could email them and see if the MT/R looking ones can be made for the 30's..
