a local guy has a set of 33x9.5 trail cutters at about 85% on wheels for a good price, but i've never heard of them. he says he doesn't see a manufacturers name on them but that they are in very good shape. i was planning on using them as a winter road tire - nice and narrow. any input on quality would be appreciated, thanks.

 

33x9.5?

James

 

yes, 33x9.5r15. does that seem strange?

 

Never heard of them. Ran a quick search and found some pics, but no reviews. They look decent I think.

 

those are them. ya, i agree. they look like a decent tire, but looks can be deceiving.

 

the tread is almost the same with my roughrider m+s tires (made by motomaster)

 

looks like it'd be a good snow tire. not enough pizza cutter selection around here, you're pretty much stuck with D rated road tires or BFGs or swampers...

 

someone from another board pointed out the strikingly similar tread pattern on the BigO Bigfoot XTs. Hmmm...

 

Yep, seen that tread pattern on a lot of "lesser" brand tires years ago. Even a Sears tire. Not a bad tread pattern really. As for the quality of the tire itself, finding out who actually makes it can be tough. Most of them were made by some other company for example - Motomaster never made a tire, they were made by Kelly Springfield or Cooper or whoever...just like Procomp doesn't make tires, they are actually made by Cooper) The tires from the 70s and 80s with the above tread pattern were made by Dayton IIRC.

 

Kelly trail cutters was the best tires i owned .. great in the winter/ mud /sand .....however they are soft and require rotateing every 5K or more also running them year round i only got about 18k on a new pair ..but i would purchase again.. where those were shot i purchased a look alike becouse the were haveing mold problems at the time and the look alikes didnt compair

 

Man, talk about resurrecting an old thread! What's with all the noobs in here lately?

 

So Kelly tires makes them? i love Kelly tires, if i didn't know about Pro Comp i would buy Kelly tires all the time. we had them on out 94 4runner safety unit and they performed wonderfully.

 

that is a good question I was wondering the same thing.

 

they most deff look like kelly tires here in az they are the "big -o tires" tires the one is their A/T the other is their M/T the only thing is that the m/ts wear FAST like 40% in 5k (on a friends hunting rig)

 

trailcutter radial m/t tires are made by Tempra. i have a set on my K5. and they do pretty good off road.

 

Just to add a little to this thread, if this size was still available new, I'd buy them. I now have 27,000 miles on mine secondhand.

 

Everyone needs to calm down! Cleaning up thread and unless you can add about the tires, don't post or there will be infractions handed out.
