What options are out there in dirt tires, my rig isnt a daily driver and I have mxt mud terrains they work well but not like boggers I've ran in the passed.

I'm on a 33x13.5x15 ltb kick latly but got to thinking what other tires. Parnelli used to have some Marley looking dirt tires. Pitbull's look good must be good but are pricey.

I've cut my mxt thinking about removing every small outer lug or maybe half of it. I cut them in half to see if theyd chunk themselves out and a few are.

I have considered recentering some h1 wheels nd running skid steer tires similar to these. I have a tire knive and could really have some fun with them. Offcourse not on the street well much. Only a few Miles from my house to some local trails.

Thinking what to do with the second stimulus if we get it.

Looking for tires in the 33-34 range 10.5wide to 13.5

 

Well, if you ran boggers in the past, why did you change ??

Never considered any Parnelli tires gnarly.... ..altho the dirt grips look like they would work for a more mud based AT

Skidsteer tires will be very heavy, and most likely that will work against you in the mud.

 

Sold that rig.

Yes skidsteer tires are heavy but would give me 16.5 tire options

I'm not versed on pj tires just seen some on rigs ndxwent hmmm

Just looking for more dirt less street kinda tires. All my tires seem to be very street worth.

I'm fine going with bias tires.

The thunder track or whatever it is seems to be fairly open tread design but I think the ltb is still wht I'm leaning towards. I dunno

 

Pitbulls become slicks in any wet conditions that's not in Moab. I'd look at Maxxis Creepy Crawlers and go 35s.

 

Just some old school experience here. You need pliable tires in the mud, or they will dig holes like they will on gravel and snow. Some of the best mud tires I have had were Armstrong true tracks. They don't look like much but did very well in Oregon mud. I would stay away from 16.5s since they are all going to be eight ply or better. Something like a Maxxis Trepador in a load range C would work well

I tend to drive around the mud when possible. What's wrong with 8 ply. I think the mxt is 10 ply I tun them at 18psi.

Sweet I'd forgotten about the creepy crawlers. Aswell the bajan claws.

I'm not really heard for 35s but can run that size.

Thanks for the ideas so far

 

We could have an interesting discussion about that. The owner of Coyote beadlocks and I had an interesting conversation about that. He measured rolling resistance aired up and down. It takes nine times the horizontal force to roll over a 2X4 in the driveway with aired up as down tires. The same thing happens with stiff sidewalls on tires made for trucks that carry loads. That is one of the reasons airing down is needed for any serious wheeling. You could do the same type of experiment yourself with different tires in the driveway just by measuring the amperage a winch uses when rolling over the proverbial 2X4

 

I dont mind airing down 10plys actually think I prefer it.
Yes i believe a tire with less air will raise vehicle less and roll over 2x4 with less resistance

 

the point I was trying to make is that a 4 ply tire will roll over obstacles better and easier than a 10 ply. I was thinking I might have an opportunity to measure this since I am replacing my axles with a different bolt pattern and have access to some 6 ply Swampers the same size as I run now. I would have to mount my tires on different wheels but it would be a fun experiment

 

Why cant we get these here.
simex

 

I don't know, but I have a Kiwi friend that swears by them in mud

 

That is a baddass looking tire. Every one seems to love it .its a bias tire so I guess isnt marketed in the us. I found some retreads of this tire on ebay but there 31s. So that got me to digging.

There may be one or two places in the us that has them or has access to them.
this tire pictured isnt available but the trekker II is in a 35x12.5 I'd run 35s to get it.
from reading it sounds like they run tall a 35 is more like our 36's
