Oh nm it is dub city. Also s and s tire on auburn and kanai

 

yeah i've seen greeback wheel and tire and S and S tire on auburn. never seen dub city though. I've seen their CL post before though haha. i'll check them out next time haha

 

I searched this thread and am quite surprised no one has mentioned the Interco Truxus MT???


If a person is looking for a cross between a true swamper and something that works in snow and has decent road manners, the Truxus MT should certainly be an option.

I know many people who really, really like this tire, including myself. I have a set on my ZR2 and have just purchased another set ($152 ea for 31x10.5x15 to my door, unmounted) for my '85 4runner.

Search the net, and get some opinions.

 

wouldn't strike me as a DD tire at all, unless you have feedback on that?

 

No, sorry, I wouldn't get this as a DD tire (unless in alaska or somewhere unfriendly). I must have missed that, was watching all the other options and thought... Doh!

 

MTZ'S all the way. I have them in 285/75 and they do extremely well. also the best looking tire out there imo

 

I was doing that today!!! Testing out the new tires!!!


I finally got the whees\tires mounted and on the truck. Bought the wheels on CL and they are 15x8 with 4.?" backspacing. The guy I bought them from said they were 3.75" backspacing but when I got them home, I measured and they were more than that and didn't fit (hit the balljoints). I put some 1.25" spacers on the front of the rig (already had the spacers sitting around) and the front wheels now clear, the back fit without mods. Oh, $80 for the 4 rims. So, good to go on the wheels.

The tires are new Interco Truxus MT's, $154 ea., then $12 ea for mounting\bal\new stems.
I really, really tried to buy them locally but not only would local shops not "deal" with me, a couple treated me like crap or like a dunce. Bad move on their part. Once a vendor treats me well, I'll stick with them and tolerate some inconsistencies, but I can be REALLY loyal. But if the first experience is bad, I generally don't give second chances.
But I definately wanted these specific tires. They are the same as I have on my ZR2 and I think they are a great snow\dirt\mud tire. They are Interco's (US MADE) and generally cheaper than comparable sized tires (and performance is far better).


The 31's and 4.56 gears seem just about right. I tested the rear locker ALOT and no doubt it's working just like in my offroad rig. I'll now be seriously looking for a selectable front locker and I'll be set.


Well, except for the install of a few more doo-dads'... I'll report back next year.

 

TAKE A LOOK AT THE COOPER STT. i have them on my 95 taco. i average 100-300 miles a day of travel. i have 25k miles on them and they hardly wore. they hum a lil. but dang they pull their butt off. i wasnt to sure of them since all ive ever seen them on are 3/4 tons. I gave $710 for the tires, mount and balance and tax http://www.coopertire.com/html/produ...discoverer_stt

 

those tires look pretty good.

 

The truxus are very road friendly. i guy i work with is pushing 30k miles on them and he still hase 1/4 thread. dont hum bad at all. pulls good in sand and light mud.
