Ok I did a search and didn't find anything too productive so...

Who is running these and what are everyone's thoughts on them? I'm going to 33's and I know 4wheelparts has a buy 3 get one free deal every few months so I'm thinking these may be the best tires for the money.

Let me know what everyone thinks of these

Hey, I need to know the same thing. So if anyone has any comments on how well this tire performs I'd love to hear. Wear and Traction?

I hear good things about them for both street manners and off road manners. Three people in my club run them and they love them.

I've heard they do pretty well. Onroad and some rocks.

But i want to know how they do in Mud? because thats what i see a lot of.

WSU4runner

Yeah. I see a lot of mud some snow as well.

I'm curious as to how they wear?? I've heard they are pretty good as far as an onroad/offroad tire goes

kyle_22r

in the test in petersons a month or 2 back, they did the worst out of all of the tires they tested in mud(tsls, trxus mt, bfg mt, baja claw). supposed to be nice on the road though

TRDtacoma107

how about comparing the Xterrain versus the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain? (those are the two tires I've narrowed my search down to)

WSU4runner

The reason I am looking at the Xterrains is mostly price. You can get 4 for a little more than 3 BFG's.

They seem to be a good tire for someone who does some weekend wheeling and has to commute as well.

I don't think there will be a comparison between the BFG's and XTerrains...but maybe.

Fink

WSU4runner

In favor of the BFG or the Xterrain??

I'm just trying to factor everything in (price, on/off road performance) and the Xterrains seem like they are a pretty good deal.

Fink

BFG, I think they're all-around a more solid tire...may not be as road friendly but if you're getting a mud-terrain tire....TAKE IT OFF ROAD!

I run X-terrains and I love them. Yeah, they aren't the best tire for mud, but on road they are SOOOO much quieter than any mud terrain that I've seen. They wear somewhat quickly, but remember that you're driving a toyota not a huge ford or other stuff (crap) like that. I do have to say that when you air them down, there's no stopping them. They grab rocks like no other. I would suggest getting them, you can't beat that 4 for 3 price.

WSU4runner

How many miles do you expect to get out of them?? Most mud tires seem to get around 40k anyways, so anything around that won't be too big of a deal.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm looking for the best offroad performer for the best price. Getting some black steel wheels soon, and they will be my offroad wheels, so no need to worry about on road manners for whatever tire I put on them, cause I'll have my current wheels with my bald-ass all terrains.

On a tangent: I just checked the receipt for the tires I have on my truck, and the dude got them on only 30k ago. Seems a little fast wearing to me, but is that normal? They are Costco's Kirkland Signature all terrains (cheap-ass bastard had this truck before me).

TRDtacoma107

hmmm those X-Terrains sure are pretty though. Did the BFG Mud Terrains change their appearance lately? It seems like I've seen some of them with a bit more tread sticking out the side or something. Maybe it's just me.

Also, can you compare the wear of the two tires?

WSU4runner

The tread looks the same, the sidewalls seem a little more aggressive. It would be nice if someone other than ProComp would run 4 for the price of 3 deals. I'd sure love some MT/R's

Fink

I think the MT/R's look bada$$...go to Brian's (waskillywabbit) homepage and check out the pic he has on there...its awesome!

www.drawhorn.org if you wanna see the MT/R's..awesome looking tires!

well I put on about 15 thousand or so on mine and I've got about 60% or so left. I'm running my street tires right now because I came across some money and felt like getting some street tires. In all, I could say that you'd get around 30,000 or more off of those tires. I'm going to stay with the x-terrains mainly because that 4 for 3 deal is killer, and with that deal, it makes it worth it even though they wear down some what faster than others. Not to mention they look awsome and not many people have them. I get asked what type of tires they are quite a bit.

WSU4runner

How do you drive on them? Are you pretty aggressive or do you take it easy? Also how often do you rotate them?

Thanks

oly884

I drive on them pretty hard, and rotate them every 5,000 miles.
