Well I'm in the market for some new tires. I've had my eyes on the Interco Swamper SSR or the Interco Trxus MT.

The SSR's are a little more expensive than the Trxus, so at this point I'm stuck on what I want to do. :confused:

I am looking at the Yokohama Geolandar A/T Plus I have read some really good things about this tire and then some that say they do not get any miles out of them.

Anyone have experience with this tire?

MT\R's are an excellent tire, just not for the sticky Arkansas type terrain. They don't seem to clean very well either. If the terrain were different, I'd probalby opt to go the MT\R route again.

I see a few have chosen "Other" Care to share what ya think??

That's the funniest line I have read in a while.

ROTFLMAO



MMMMMM, rocks!! Tasty!

I don't know enough about the two choices so i'm not voting.

I love my MTRs. They love eating up big tasty rocks.

3rd geners with the V6 roll with 265/70-16s. Just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on going to a 245 tire. You lose 2cm of tread width. Would handling will be impaired dramatically? Any thoughts?

Have you actually seen the TrXus in person? I was really contemplating them myself, but when I finally saw them I was surprised at how tight the tread pattern is, closer to an A/T than a mud tire.

I have not ruled out the SSRs, but am about 99% sure I am going to get the PJ Dirt Grips when I finally upgrade later this year (hopefully).

I have not been too impressed the mud clearing ability of the MT/Rs, but I have not seen anybody get stuck with them yet either.

X-TERRAINS!!! I love mine. They are pricey, but well worth it. I've had no problems with them, they are VERY quiet on the road, handle good in any weather, including snow, and when aired down are unstoppable

I think Sherri's Runner is the only one I've see with the swampers.. They are a mean looking tire.. Not sure how the perform though.

data

I think I'll stick with the good ole Bridgestone Dueler MT's. I had a set of these before and they preformed very well in the mud. I think I just might buy another set....

Bridgstone's hook up great and are not too expensive compared to those designer named brands...Nice choice!

the BFG M/T's or even the ProComp M/Ts. the only thing that get my a-hairs up about ProComp tires is the apparent lack of effort for them to produce a 285/75r16 size! I think if I got 3.75 backspacing on some new wheels they would fit but then I would get a bad case of the rubs and have to trim some fenderwell or even worse. obviously I voted "other."

My friend was runnin those on his Jeep, they don't look that aggressive, but He could tear through some major slop! they were pretty quiet on the road, and they didn't wear bad.

is this thread started by Keisur...SOZE?

heh,heh

keisur

Nope, hehe. I think the "soze" version from the Usual Suspects is spelled differently. I think spelt his name Kayser. Mine is a spelling from I think old Norse which (like in German) means 'king." don't quote me on that. It was one of my dogs names, a big huge tough 7 pound rat terrier. haha.

I meant to say 305/75r16's were the ones that would rub not the 285's. those are the ones I am looking at (since I can buy 3 and get 1 free, hehe, what a cheap-a$$!) Then if they dint fit I'd sell em and get some 285 bfg m/t's.

data

Well in my previous post I said I had made up my mind, but you know how that goes!

I'm still debating on the trxus, dueler, and the ssr....LOL. The insanity will never end!!!

keisur

What size are you looking at? I'm just wondering because I wouldn't mind seeing some pics after intallation. that-a-way I can get an idear of what mine would look like, only mine's black.

data

In the Dueler & Trxus I'm looking at 285/75/16's

SSR's I'm looking at 32x11.50.16's. Just becuase in the 285 the ssr's OD is 33.9 compaired to the others. SSR is basically a 34" tall tire. I've also heard the SSR's were a pain to balance. That's kinda why I don't want any ssr's, but I bet they would kick ass in mud
