Dunlop Mud Rovers

I have searched around and haven't really found out any personal stories about these tires? Anybody have good experiences with them?

Im looking for a good aggressive looking tire that still has a good on road wear.

Thanks in advance.

i got a set and like them pretty good, they are a bit soft, they do great on the street, and in the rain. only had a little snow here so can't say much on that.

I have 33's on my 4Runner. I have 20,000 miles on them and they still look brand new. Only thing I didn't like was the lack of an aggressive sidewall. For the money, the Mud Rover is a great tire.

Have you looked at the Cooper Discovery STT's? They are mean looking,do great,and wear good so far(on a buddies 97 TJ). I plan on scoring some after the holidays. I was quoted $830.08 taxed,mounted,and balanced for 35" x12.50 x 15. I didn't think that was too bad THey work good in the Tellico terrain. My buddy has 33x12.50s just for reference.

Yea it will either be 265/75 or 285, depending like i said on the lift. Im not too far from you i grew up in West Knoxville right off the Pellissippi exit.

Why wait oh wait its a downward spiral.

I also dunno if i am going to lift mine, until i need tires. Going to get some adjustables in the front to support winch and bumper at least.

I had them. They were affordable and good off road but not very good on ice/snow covered roads. Now snow wheeling off road they were good. They were loud.

I don't think he has to worry about snow, we don't get much of that down here in TN, and its a shame
