shopping for new tires!!
I need opinions from experience, I run a 33x12.50r15 maxxis big horn right now and they still have plenty of life but I don't like the grip off road. What would u guys reccomed?! I don't want a swamper as they suck on road an wear fast( that was my last set). I might do nitto mud grapplers? Or toyo open country m/ts. Any other suggestions or help deciding would b appriciated. Thanks guys!

All the quotes I got were from 12 to 1400$ an the toyos were 1250$. The mtrs? I've always liked how are they in the mud and on rocks?

Mine are 31's but I'm running Nexen Roadian AT II's (I think they're made by Cooper) and they run me $149 each. Supposed to be a 50,000 mile tire. They're pretty quiet on the road and do fairly decent off road. Not a mud or rock tire by any means. I run a newspaper route and put about 200 miles a day on them and they're holding up pretty good. I'm in the woods almost every day working on the farm and haven't gone through anything they haven't handled yet.

I'm running a set of Goodyear mtrs kevlar, they are incredible tires, they are quite on the road cause section down the middle, but still grab great and clean fast in the mud and when they get into rocks they suck them up and rap around the rocks. Overall the best tires I've had compared to bfg mud terrains and maxxis buckshots I've ran.

Another vote for MTR Kevlars. Incredible tire. They are quiet and good on the road. I had climbed onto sharp rocks with nothing but the sidewall making contact numerous times and they held up great. I see many pics all over the net of professional crawlers that use those so there must be a reason. Anyways I love mine and as soon as they wear out (which will not be soon enough) I am getting another set in 35s this time.
