the old tire debate
I want to run 35X16 on my 105 cruiser.
I have 33" bfg a/t and have used cooper a/t
This time i was thinking muds. MTR, Cooper or BFG.
Or maybe cooper st.
It will be a daily driver.
Thats why i was thinking maybe st or somthing similar.
can anyone recommend any others

X-terrain... good in the mud and good wear on road.

I'd recommend the MTR's.
But found out the other day they only make them up to 285/ 75r 16.
That's only 33 inch!

Gotta vote x terrain
Have had em on mine now for a while and quite impressed all round. Comprable to any normal muddie onroad and a good deal better than regular muddies offroad
Plus they look the goods too
But if you can live with a bit noisier tyre I reckon the radial claws are cool as well

the 40" comes in a 17" rim too
might fit the prado with its stoopid 17" rims

DiscoDino.. arent the Iroks a really soft compound rock crawling tyre? Theyd probably be slicks after 20k on road.

Just wanted to know if any one has ever run cooper sure tracs.
Any good?
If not how do the radial claws handle on the black stuff?

If you mean the Cooper ST, then I have had 3 friends with them and they all say that they get slippery as hell when they get below 50%. Might be worth thinking about.
I got 60k out of my Cooper STT 33 x 12.5s, and they were pretty slippery below 30%. 2 years old.
I am now running MTRs on my GQ and they apprently wear quite quick, but I will see. Has anyone tried the Yokohama G-001?

I was thinking about these but got the second hand MTRs off here instead...
