MT/R's are a great rock crawling tire.
They are not a mud type tire (MT/R = Maximum Traction/Reinforced, not Mud Tire or something).
They also have a wonderfully strong sidewalls, unlike, say, BFG's

BTW, the 15's are good. Gotta air 'em down to 6 ~ 8 psi and then they really hook up.
The 17's aren't nearly as good, higher load range rating = stiffer sidewalls.

I have the same tires on my 85 with 5.29 gears, you will like it when your done. I also have duel cases. any plans for duel cases in the future ?.

 

yes, just not soon i have a geared tcase that i love, I just got some money so i need to put in an order for some 5.29 gears and install kit. some rears up front and a new driveshaft. then i should be done till the end of the summer or till a birf breaks.

the mtr sidewalls are like an inch thick i love it, im actually gonna have to get an OBA system because i know my lil' ole' compressor wont work to well with 4 37s

 

Yea, i had to have new drive shafts made after my 5'' lift was installed, all i need now are lockers. Im going Detroit in the rear and ARB in the front with longfield axles and 30 spline hub gears, all i need is some money to do it.

 

yeah, me too
