Tires

[Ozwynn]

I’m running Toyo Open Country AT2 on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. They have 47,xxx miles on them and still have a good amount of tread left…. I can get one more winter out of them and I haven’t seen any terrain that they struggle with (except maybe rocks… I can’t say because I don’t rock crawl my stock JGC). When I have to replace my tires it will probably be another set of these.

What tires are you running and what are your experiences?

Your really close to the wear indicators. 3-5k more close.

My F-150 needs new tires before winter. What’s on it currently is Mastercraft Courser CT and what’s going on is the new version, CXT. That was my second set of CT tires on it. Probably would have got more life rotating them like I should, but I’m getting around 40-50k a set and perfectly happy with them. The CXT is actually a little more aggressive. The only time I successfully got it stuck with those was when I had no counterweight in the bed and buried the snow plow because I was slow on the lift switch stacking into a pile. Facing downhill. On ice and hard packed snow. Weight in the bed and I’m betting it would have backed out. I’ve had it up to the punkin in mud and those tires just don’t understand quit.

My green Ranger has CXT tires. I may change to something else after I’m done with the engine swap. We shall see how things go.

The 92 has Kenda MT tires. Actually been kinda impressed. For an MT they held up well and had decent traction on and off road. Not sure if I’ll buy a set, but I’d consider it.

Choptop has BFGs, MT in the rear and AT in the front. Not particularly impressed. Front tires really kinda are about done for, starting to dry rot. Inclined to go to Mastercraft Courser MXT tires on it next. Originally I had some Ground Hawg knock offs on it and they were awesome once they became round (bias ply).

88 has Remington tires, loved them but no longer available.

Mom and dad are running Mastercraft Courser AT/AXT on their RBVs.

I got General grabber atx's on rusty. Only A/T i could find in a 14 in rim. They go like hell in mud, snow, anything ive had them in. A bit noisy at 55 but bite so good its whatever. Big meaty bastards that seem to be wearing well. Last winter with about 300lbs in the bed it was unstoppable...i had to TRY to spin.

I got BFG A/Ts on the F250. Great tires. Bite amazing, wear great, but pricy.

“wear indicator”? I always thought that was bonus tread when the other got shallow

They’re close true…. But that’s still around 8/32 of tread before bald

Guess I should mention, my green Ranger had Hankook Dynapro AT tires when I got it that were pretty new. I’m not sure I would let anyone give me a set of those. They were useless in the snow, sucked in the rain, useless in dirt and mud, and were not very good on dry pavement. The only tires I’ve had that were worse (other than the stock tires that came on my blue Ranger) was the Nexen Roadan AT tires that was the first set I put on my F-150. Not only didn’t those grip on anything, they burned up in 12k miles.

The dump truck has Mastercraft tires, forget which ones.

Mastercraft is Cooper’s off brand and uses their old tread patterns, just FYI

I should probably mention that I haven’t ever rotated the toyos…. All 4 are wearing evenly and they don’t lose air pressure. Aired them up to 38 psi 47,xxx miles ago and they are still set at 38 psi

Damn....that thing tracks perfectly...

Impressed.

Wear indicators? Aren't they those metal cable like looking things that go around the tire? I just wait till they start flapping against the fender well. Then I know I'll need to get new tires in the next 10K.

Dude… I can take my hands off the steering wheel at 100mph on freshly paved interstate hwy and it goes straight for days… atleast as straight as you can with a road that has a crown.

There is a lot about the JGC that impresses me… it’s electronics package, however, is not among those things… it’s full of electrical gremlins ….

Of the ATs I’ve run, Firestone Destination ATs were good. Snow driving was decent. I never had those off road. So no idea how they are.

I have BFG KO2s on the 2011. Great tire and handle the snow as well as a snow tire. They off road very well too. They are spendy but it seems there is a reason why they cost so much.

The only other set of true AT tires I had were a set of Cooper tires. I believe they were Discoverer ASR. They were fine the first couple years and got scary on wet roads after that. Cooper discontinued them and I believe for good reason.

I read reviews on General’s offering and they seem to be nearly as good as the BFGs but I haven’t owned a set yet. The tread pattern is very similar.

If it holds air for atleast 24 hours in my book its a good tire.

We found the dad from Christmas Story!

I've run Goodyear Michelin and Copper over the years and have yet to find a tire that doesn't want to dance all over the place when roads are wet.
