Nationwide outage of BFG Mud Terrains

[fjdemon]

Been trying to get them, 35x12.50x15 for a couple of months now. Had to cancel a order because they told me 4 weeks and on week 5 they were still out of stock. In case anybody needs them be aware that everywhere I have contacted tells me 4 weeks still, and have been saying 4 weeks since almost 2 months ago. So....you might want to find another style tire if you need something soon. Just a FYI, so you don't wait for nothing.

Probably due to the changeover of all Mud-Terrains to the KM2 in Sept.

That's a good possibility. Too bad I need some now or I'd wait.

BFG's are good tires but...

KM1's are great and last a long time but...

God I love that 60! gheyboy hood sticker and all. Hows that Aussie locker for daily street driving?

If your going with a different tire , I love my pro comp x-terrains. Used them at the lonestar roundup and the razorback ramble. two different types of ground and great results on both. Plus procomp does the buy 3 get one free twice a year so you can get you 33 12.50 for $600

Heh Heh

How bout another taste? something with more hood sticker exposure!

The Aussie is a great locker but it takes getting used to around town, gotta engage the clutch prior to turning sharp turns and no feathering the throttle or it will start bucking.

Cooper STT's would work great too!

MTR'S!!!

 

[fjdemon]

yes that is a awesome truck. I ended up going with the procomps mud terrains 35x12.50x15 I got 4 of them sent to me for $847.22 not the best price but I need them. They had a 10% off sale and then $89 to ship plus sales tax for Georgia

In WI MTR stands for My Tires are Ritarded! I haven't been impressed yet except for how fast they wear and how fast they gum up in the good that we can't avoid. Good luck!

Wow... you're the first person I've ever heard that had something bad to say about MT/R's You said they wore quickly? Are you running them on a daily driver? Why the hell would anyone run them on a daily driven truck anyway? Something that aggresive just destroys ride quality and fuel economy anyway. I would always run some type of all terrain on a daily driven truck; it's retarded not to.

not to hijack but Trapper when did ingrid get split side windows? Never noticed them before.

 

[Hank]

They aren't very aggressive, I'd compare them new to my BFG a/t's and DD them, you bet. Aggressive is Swampers, Krawlers, etc. No worries, I wouldn't run them. I know most people that have them proclaim them to be the best thing since the invention of 4x4. My experience is much different as well as the experience of my wheeling groups. Enjoy them if you will. I'll stick to what I like.

 

[Man Jerk]

I agree. I've never seen MTR's as a particularly aggressive tire. And if you have ever wheeled in the midwest mud isn't really something you can avoid. MTR's like to cake up in the mud.

My MTRS work well on rocks and dry dirt. They gum up in southern mud/clay. They work well enough not to replace as they came on my truck but when they wear out I'll probably go with some swampers.

Po (Nuclearlemon -Ige) put them in, They are a nice option.

MTR's are definitely rock tires not mudders but they aren't so agressive. They aren't noisy on the highway (not like BFG MT's anyway) but even sipped, I haven't noticed inordinately fast wear. Their main benefits are rock performance and sidewall thickness. on a 15x8 they can be aired down to 10psi no prob without being worried about losing a bead. They are just severely durable. I like them because they don't have any particular failing across the board, they are either passable or dominant in every catagory.

from what Iv'e seen MTRs don't have the best sidewall's
