Rock Slider ideas and offroad tires
 

Hey guys I've been looking into some rock sliders and off-road tires and trying to figure the best options to go with any input would help. Thanks for looking.

you need to search. Theres lots of info on these topics.

fyi, off road tires mean different things to different people. To some people, a bfg AT is a worthy off road tire. And to some people the only tire they consider to be a mud tire has to say interco tsl on the side wall. For tires, you truly need to search and find what works for your needs and wants out of a tire. Starting a "what tire" thread will just cause a flame war.

It will also help in the future if you have your vehicle in your signature so we know what you're working on.

A little more info would be helpful. I E year, model, current modifications, you plans for the rig...etc.

Yes...:bigok:

Sorry guys I'm a newb so don't exactly know all the ropes. I've got a 2004 toyota tacoma sr5 extended cab. It's got a 2"suspension lift and runs 33" BF Goodrichs right now. It doesn't have too much done just flow master dual pipes and full exhaust. I want a good rock and mud tire something that will grip in the mud but as well as rocks. I know im gonna need rock sliders for trails but just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions I've looked at them and there are plenty out there but want to know what your opioid would be. Sorry for the bad thread. Hope this helps.

This is not a bad thread. Just a generic question that's hard to answer without specifics :D

I like the new Goodyear MTR's. Also, if you have the money and want quality sliders: Stubbs Sliders (http://www.stubbswelding.com/). If you want a basic slider: Trailgear.

Pile stole the words from my keyboard lol.

Wrangler mtrs are awesome. Not the most friendly street tire, but awesome off road.

I love my Stubbs on my truck. Sturdy enough that I can pick up one entire side of my truck with them. Also look awesome, and the price was very good. I paid $375 for them, which was better than I've gotten from others.

I had BFG KM2s in 33-10.50 style and loved them. Quiet enough for a daily driver and lasted forever (70k miles and still at least 1/3 tread left.).

I'm currently running Toyo MTs in metric 35", and I love them as well. Still great for a daily driver, a slight whir at low speeds and a slight hum at higher speeds. You can still carry on a normal volume conversation at 75mph. But with my old 84, it makes more wind noise and creaks and squeaks, so tire noise is not very bothersome....

If you're used to a silent car type tire noise, your going to have to go with an AT.
Which could be a Toyo, BFG, Goodyear, Cooper, etc...

As far as sliders, I like Marlins, Addicted, or 4xinnovations.

Goodyear wrangler authority a/t's work pretty great in mud and Iast a good while they got more meat then some m/t's

TG sliders will leave you with the most $ in your pocket to spend on tires. Occasionally throughout the year, many TG vendors will even do % discounts on TG products, which makes them even cheaper.

"best" tires are subjective topic. there really isn't a good tire out there that is ideal for mud, rocks, and driving on the street. MTR/K is probably the best of both worlds since it has a hybrid tread pattern with open outer lugs for clearing mud and tighter pattern inside for higher traction surfaces and DD use.

after a lot of agonizing and a lot of research, I went with Kevlar mtr's, in part because they were one of the lightest 37" tires I could find... those toyo mt's that rokblok has would be a better street tire, and probably more durable offroad... I've seen mixed opinions on how puncture resistant the kevlar mtr sidewall is.

third choice for me would have been the cooper mud tire, lots of good reviews on it.

I saw a couple of people on the rubicon trail, running some of the new a/t's that are on the market, definitely check it out.

mud was not a factor for me, I hate it, and there isn't much of it around here, lol

:think: lots of factors enter into tire selection.

This truck will see little or no High speed street driving perhaps 100 miles if that in a month ??

These could be going on your Daily Driver where you spend a daily commute at speeds of 75 mph plus to the tune of 300 to 400 miles a week??

How much money in the budget??

I am a great one for running the house brand tire of my tire dealer Been buying tires from him for 30 plus years. Allowing me just as good of tire without the big brand name tire price.

Two sets of wheels and tires your off road and street tires

Buying tires is always a comprise .

Rock sliders I have no clue Built several sets all different

:great:
