The MT02 42 DOT is $600ea retail. I'm on my 2nd set with hard wheeling and zero complaints.

Thanks, Woody. How are they on the pavement?

I have the 35" MT02 DOT version on my FZJ80, likes to be a little high on street pressure, but they have worn great. Top speed with the buggy is about 20mph...lol

Lol! I bet that there isn’t a whole lot of wondering at 20 mph. Ha! Thanks for the tips, Woody.

You should just sell me your Razr tires and we will both be set.

Kevin/Brittney are good friends, they have nothing bad to say about the Milestars....but decided they didn't want to be the KOH testers.

Hi everyone. I am considering the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT. Let me know if you have run these. I’ve never run a Mickey Thompson tire.

I am also looking at the Nittos and the Patagonia MT02. The MTRs and Pro Comp tires are out of stock in my area.

I have been happy with the STT Pro in 40*13.5*17.

One down, four to go. I found this on Craigslist and it should make for a good spare.

Mine are chunking pretty good in spots, not a problem but more than I expected. Mine are Bias Ply, 38 x 13.5, x 15. But I really like em.

 

[Mike Shull]

Changes perspective a bit. I really like the look of this tire.

It has a yellow sticker. It might be a "sticky compound"

Are you planning on doing some more tire siping with that chainsaw??

It is a sticky. I might have to get a set if I ever buy a tow rig. They seem like they would grip well.

Lol! We had a tree fall last weekend.

Hey all LS swap guys following Mike’s build what are you doing with the vapor purge hose. Deleting it or running a fuel line to a charcoal canister? Thanks.

Yeah, good question! Where is it?

I will post pics tomorrow. You must not be at that point in your build yet.

I’m nowhere close. I plan to wire and plumb the engine after the suspension and body are done. It’s taking a lot longer then I had anticipated given that I am only able to get 7-8 days of work done each month.
