Evenin all,

1st question since joining.....

I wanna cut up the mud with my 93 Cherokee, what tyres do you guys recommend with standard suspension (no lift kit ......yet)

Oh & I will be putting them on spare wheels (if I can find some) as my little jeep is my daily driver!!

Have family in the tyre trade so getting them isnt a prob....

Thanks in advance

Paul

goodyear mt/r's are the quietist muds, i'd get a spare set of wheels and get some colway mt's for offroad use though. review on my site

Goodyear mt/r`s are definately a little better on road than BF Goodrich but they arent so good in the mud.Its a common misconception that the mt/r stands for mud terrain but its not,its maximum traction/reinforced.I run Goodyear MT/R`S and although they are good,i find them sometimes a little embarrasing crossing slightly muddy tracks as they tend to slide about a lot.If you want a good compromise then go for the BF Goodrich AT`S but if you want more offroad capability then go for BF Gooodrich MT`S or a similar type,ie colway. Hope this helps.

MT/Rs are the only mudish offering in a jeep size, the real mud they do is the G90 (landrover size :lol: then ya fooked :lol:

BTW did I hear the the mtr is being discontinued?

Yep, may rub v slightly if the rear springs are really saggy and your on full articulation, but only v slightly

i use general Grabber M/T's, and so do a few other members in the club.Never had any problems with them, but not to sure if they will do your size.Look on E-Bay for a set of wheels.

I can't rate BFG M/T's 235 75 15's enough

They transformed the off roading abilities of my old Cherry and on road..no problem

Colways are 1/3 the price of BfG but softer compound and 'kin NOISY!!!

Big plus of the BFG's tho is they may last @40k miles

Anonymous · « **Reply #15 on:** April 07, 2005, 09:09:09 AM »

I've had 20k miles on colway muds with very little ware and 38k miles on colway at's with 50% ware, bloody good IMHO.
Anyway Stew I've seen you very nearly stuck on your BFG MT's where my XJ sailed through on colway AT's :lol: :wink:

Thats coz I was making the trail open for you

I seem to remember to threw most of the trail on front of my XJ and disappeared in a cloud of diesel smoke :roll:

At what point would you expect a set of 31/10.5/15 Goodyear Wrangler MT to become useless?

The CJ came with a set with about 6mm tread left.

when you get stuck :roll: Depends on the surface your on, on wet mud I would say they were boarder line with 6mm

yup aggree

rule of thumb is 5mm and they are scrap for mud as there isnt enough tread left to clear, when you get down to 6mm the tread sucks up the mus instead of throwing it out.

nah it gets boreing pulling out landies after a while. thats the only reason the mudcruzr has a nato tow hitch on the back is to pull out landies with bald tyres
3 pre requisites of owning a landie

1. gotta be a boreing fart
2. gotta have a big beard
3. gotta have bald muds fitted
