http://www.vulcantire.com/wildcatext_t.htm

Hey guys....these would be used on 16" wheels probably...more for expedititon style use. Didnt know if radials were ok for that kinda stuff. They look pretty stout. Since I was lookin for Michelin XL's and stuff, I figured this would be on ok sub. There made by cooper. What do you think?


Thanks, Alex

they look fine... most tires these days are radials, and if you want any kind of treadwear and any kind of ride quality or street use, then a radial is what you want

I have personally dealt with those people. Very good people and prices. The tires are ok but will get the job done. I was going to run the same set and maybe still will.

i think those tires are on the same noise level as a swamper.

if you want tires for an expedition, you're going to want tough. i'd recommend something like a goodyear MT/R or a swamper SX by interco...

I think they're more northern or maybe western, I never seen one in Kville, Tri cities, or the Carolinas. Come to think of it, I dont remeber seeing them around Atlanta or Cincy either.

Les Schwab is mostly in the west/northwest. Big Tire Store and Distribution. They have good tires and great service in my opinion.

Print it out and take it to discount tire or your local dealer. Many times they will price match. When you add shipping on the 33's it comes out to the same per tire I paid for my Destination MT's locally
