as the title says, they arived today. The tread is SICK!!!! We will see how they do in the woods this weekend. I must say I am worried about the sidewalls. I will post pics for everyone this weekend. Does anyone have a quictime to wmv (windows movie video) converting software? I need one so I can post some footage from this past weekend. All the one's I find only let you convert so far unless you pay a ridiculous amount to by it.

Not sure about the wmv. I got my treadwrights put on about 1500 miles ago and LOVE them. I got the MTZ's.

Where are you at in CT? I lived there for almost 5 years.

I am 10 minutes outside of Plainfield, in Sterling. Real close to the Rhode Island line. Where did you live?

I use Rad Video Tools http://radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm for converting my mov's over to AVI and such. I suppose if you have the correct codecs installed you'd be able to do wmv too I'm guessing.

Why are you worried about the sidwalls? (Other than the obvious it being recycled from another tire)

imanut43

blowouts!!! they are differen't castings so I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting, i.e. 6 ply sidewall..etc...etc.... I was given 2 Procomp X terrains, one dunlop radial rover and a futura. I am the luckiest guy in the world. Tonight a fellow stopped over with a 92 yota flatbed. Never met him before. Turns out he lives down the road 10 minutes.He was asking about my truck when he seen my tires in the garage. He told me he had a tire machine in his shop at home. So I went over and sure enough we mounted them on.THEY ARE SICK!!!!!!!!!!! Best money spent. So in exchange for mounting them I gave him a set of manual locking hubs for doing so,as he needed them for his pickup. What a day!

That's a good trade for him, but if you didn't need them why not. If you have a set of hubs on your truck, they'll last for ever apparently.

Can you do me a favour, and observe your gas mileage closely. Gas mileage is a big reason why I'm not going to MTs. The Ultra Grip grips on ice and the lugs dig through mud. Best of both worlds IMO.

Matt...my mpg went down when I switched to MT's from AT's.

I lived in Groton. Wheeled with a few Jeep buddies up in Plainfield a couple of times.

My Ex and my daughter live in Lebanon so I'm back there quite often. I just moved out here a year and a half ago.

For future reference, when you order treadwrights you can actually specify what kind of sidewalls you want. I asked for BFG All Terrain sidewalls (the whole 3 ply thing). Plus they all match.

imanut43

I have heard that my mpg was going to go down a bit. I will find out this week as I need to fill up today. (blah)
sts2usnss: next time your up in the area give me a shout on the forum. Maybe when can meet up and go wheelin. I only have Jeep buddy's here also to wheel with. Wish there were more yota's in my area!

I thought treadwright used the same type of sidewall per set. I'm leary now, I'd at least like to have each tire look the same. Plus they don't offer the size I want.

nicelets see some pics of em on the truck

You can request matching sidewalls on the web site. When I ordered mine and specified matching sidewalls I got a phone call within about an hour. The rep wanted to let me know that they had 5 Michellin carcasses that were the same but one wasa different series of tire. I could wait for a few days for the matching one to show up or just take the five they had and call it good, my choice. When I was assured that they all had the same ply, sidewall rating, psi rating etc I told him to send them. Got them mounted a day or so later, did the gears about a month after that to get closer to factory specs and in the last few thousand miles I haven't had a bad thing to say about them. They do really well aired down to 15lbs in the rocks.

What size were you looking for?

How are the TW's wearing compared to normal Mud tires?

Junkers88

I don't know if you were asking me or just in general. I've ran BFG Muds for years and so far the TW's seem to be wearing as well if not better.

INFINITY

can you see the seams if at all? looking on buying some within a couple months.
are they the ultras?
does anyone know how the ultras perform on the ice/snow from personal exp.?

imanut43

This thread has been dead a while but I figured I would post up and let everyone know that the tw's are wearing excellent! I was getting 17 mpg before the motor swap and sas . I haven't been able to drive it so far, so I do not know what my mpg's will be. But I do recomend (sp) them!

Junkers88

I'm still liking mine although they are terrible offroad in snow. They tend to fill up and turn into slicks. I probably can eliminate that issue by airing down but I don't have a way to air back up yet.

Aren't most mud tires bad in the snow? I've always run AT because of the snow we get here but another thing you can do is get the tires siped and that will help with snow and wet conditions

Junkers88

I actually siped them myself a while back but we haven't had any snow in months so I haven't had a chance to try them. These things are great on every other surface I've had them on so I really can't complain.
