I run 35" MTRs on my rig, they're great for a rig that will see good trails but also needs to be able to take the interstate home. That being said, go wheeling with someone running sticky's you'll hate any set of tires until you get sticky's.

I know that everyone has their favorite tires, but if you are not EXCLUSIVELY running rocks, you should give Hankook MT a look-see. A few years ago when I was looking around at new tires, I came across this article
http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/wh...ok-dynapro-mt/
Surprised me because they frankly look kinda plain (sidewall tread looks pretty good though) but I grabbed a set of 30 inchers (now running 33's) and never had any issues with them. They clean well in the mud, grip pretty well in rocks, have a decent ply count and are quiet on the road.

This rig is a trailer queen- she rides to and from the trail in style. FWIW I posted 3 pics and only mentioned the quick wear on the front ProCops after I put the lift on and before alignment. I just thought tires wore awful quick in 1000 miles or probably less. Don't tell me it's cuz of alignment- I'm well aware of that, this was extreme and it's also besides the point of my post
The point was the first 2 pics are my current back tires and how terrible they look after a handful of trips on them. I run rocks- preferably lots of rocks. So I'm looking for feedback on what others use in similar conditions. I don't care how they wear on the street. The ProComps MT2 tires I have sucked for those conditions. They may be great in mud but that's not my gameplan. Thanks to those that answered the question

Didn't know better hence my post.
Thanks for your opinion that had nothing to do with what I'm asking

If all you run is rocks, why would you even have put a mud tire on? Their compounds are not designed to handle constant rocks. Im not surprised they didn't hold up. No mud tire would hold up on sharp rocks. There's some that might last longer then others but will eventually get shredded up. I don't rock crawl so I don't know the brands that make crawler specific tires but working in a tire shop for 3 years, I came to see just how many people were disappointed with mud tires when they weren't used as intended.

It did have something to do with your post. Your looking for crawler tires so I said to not get a mud tire. That eliminates those tires from consideration and narrows down your search of what to look for. Your welcome

comp tires will chunk out too
every tire loses to the rocks eventually. OP is running a small built jeep on a trailer? the tire you're looking for is the 35" creepy crawler
