$111.00 mounted balanced and stem. Pep Boys have a buy 3 get 1 free. The guy there said they are great, but that's a pep employee. I am tempted to try them, anyone here have them?

some of the more expensive tires have much tougher sidewalls, those look good for the money

Yep after some googling, I found that they are a 2 ply sidewall compared to the BFG 3 ply and mixed reviews, more positive than negative, mostly complaints about the sidewall ( but this was on a J@#P forum ). I really dont do anything uber agressive, mostly fire access roads, some jeep trails to get to the good fire wood and camp for the night. I think I'm going to get them this weekend, I get my ranchos today so I'll let you all know how they do in a couple of weeks for those of you who are interested. I figure for the money I'm getting 5 for the price of 4 and still saving money, so if I gash one, I wouln't feel to bad. I think I'm going to go with 235's because they are still 10 inches wide and I realy don't want to spend the money on gears right now.

Thanks for the input

Dingo,
I went with the Tread Wrights in 31/10.50/15. Michelin LTX M/S carcass with 3 ply sidewalls for 65$ each. No complaints.

They took the place of the Futura mud terrains. I have a set on my VW baja they lasted so long on it by the time i wore them out ad went to get more thats all they had is the one you are looking at. I beleive they were all cooper tires. I never had any problems with them,hell they lasted 9years on my baja. Its a daily driver too my trip to work is 100 miles round trip so they got miles on them

I've got a set and I love them. I picked mine up about 2500 miles ago and have not looked back since. They have great road manors - not they are probably the quietest of MT's I've run before. The price cannot be beaten - $99 each. They do great in the mud, on the street, packed trails and if air'ed down to about 18lbs they do good in the loose sand on the Outer Banks.



Feel free to ask any questions - I'll try and get some better pics tomorrow when my wife returns with the camera!

one of the employees at the local Pep Boys told me I'd be better off staying away from them. But I'm sure that was just his personal preference, and might not have been founded in any real experience. Sure is a good price though. If you get them, let us know how they turn out!

I've had them for about 6 months and love them. I had originally planned on Bfg mt's but for the price I couldn't beat these. I will probably go with Bfg's next time around only for the size 33x10.50, but if they made these in that size i'd buy them again for sure.
