Trying to find the most aggressive all terrain tires for the cheapest cost has been a 6 month saga for me. Several weeks ago, I finally decided on the Multi Mile Wild Country TXR II's in the 285 flavor. The TXR II's are a border line M/T tire and are way more aggressive than the pics show. I had to do a little trimming on the front valance and on the back of the running board to make them clear. I'll post a review on these in the coming weeks when they get some miles on them. Here are a few comparing my old 265's and the new 285's....

why did you go cheap?? nice lookin btw

 

Looks great, pretty much like my TXRs I use to run, but the pattern has changed just a tad.

 

Well, I just got tired of being quoted ~$200 per tire for other brands. Reviews on these tires have been as good as, or better than many of the more expensive tires out there, so I decided to give them a try. The TXR II's were $150 each out the door, which is a very nice price for a semi M/T tire! Plus, as many miles as I drive, cheaper tires are the way to go for me.

I agree that they look sweet. They have a very different tread design than anything else out there.

 

Where did you pick them up from?

Spencer, IA huh? I haven't been there for years. orignally from Ames.

 

Look pretty good!

 

I actually got them from a local tire shop in Spirit Lake. They shot me the best deal and gave me a little bone for my old tires on top of it.

I haven't been to Ames for awhile, but I love that town!

 

Looks nice but it would look better with rocker guards instead of running boards.

 

How do you like your TXR II's so far?

 

Just curious which shop, I lived in Spirit Lake for 25 years. Nice looking 4 runner.

 

So far, the TXR II's have been amazing! I'm going to post a full review later today in a new thread, so keep looking for it.

I got them from Del at L&C tire in Spirit Lake. He was awesome to work with! They even test fit a 285 Nitto TG just to make sure they would fit. Their prices are great too! Thanks for the compliment!

 

Delbert is a good guy I bought a few sets from him years ago. He even sold some rims for me

 

Looks just perfect to me. Were those old tires 265/70 or 265/75?

 

The ElDorado ZTR's were 265/75's.

 

What lift do you have? I'm just wondering if it's a full kit or something else because the rear definitely looks higher than the front. The tires look nice, any rubbing at all?

 

It's in his signature.
LC's and 3" spacers. It isn't a kit, you have to buy them seperately.

Well said...thanks!

 

I have sigs turned off.

 

Nice just courious how much power was lost between the 265/75's and 285's? What about gas mileage?

 

and what gears Are in the truck.
