Dunlop Mud Rovers

I have searched around and haven't really found out any personal stories about these tires? Anybody have good experiences with them?

Im looking for a good aggressive looking tire that still has a good on road wear.

Thanks in advance.

i got a set and like them pretty good, they are a bit soft, they do great on the street, and in the rain. only had a little snow here so can't say much on that.

depending on what size you want to run, i'd check out the Maxxis bighorn, people seem to really like them, thats what i'm going with next

I have 33's on my 4Runner. I have 20,000 miles on them and they still look brand new. Only thing I didn't like was the lack of an aggressive sidewall. For the money, the Mud Rover is a great tire.

Have you looked at the Cooper Discovery STT's? They are mean looking,do great,and wear good so far(on a buddies 97 TJ). I plan on scoring some after the holidays. I was quoted $830.08 taxed,mounted,and balanced for 35" x12.50 x 15. I didn't think that was too bad THey work good in the Tellico terrain. My buddy has 33x12.50s just for reference.

Why wait oh wait its a downward spiral.

I also dunno if i am going to lift mine, until i need tires. Going to get some adjustables in the front to support winch and bumper at least.

I had them. They were affordable and good off road but not very good on ice/snow covered roads. Now snow wheeling off road they were good. They were loud.

I don't think he has to worry about snow, we don't get much of that down here in TN, and its a shame
