Simon Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It will run 31's stock. MT's are great, but not if you're going to go wheeling only once or twice a year. A good AT tire will serve you far better if that's the case. That said, just about any aggressive mudder will do well on the trail. Most are sh!t on snow/ice/slush, and barely adequate in the rain. The BFG AT/KO's and the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's are both excellent tires, quite good off road, and still have good road manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 i beg to differ on the snow and slush part. agree on the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 i beg to differ on the snow and slush part. agree on the rest. Yeah, aggresive tread is good for that, what they don't do well on is hard pack and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've got the Pirelli Scorpion 31" tires. So far they have been great, no complaints at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 i beg to differ on the snow and slush part. agree on the rest. Allow me to clarify DEEP snow yes. Hard pack, shallow snow, no. I haven't really found mine great in slush either. However, I hadn't aired them down from my summer pressure when I did try them out, as I was switching tires anyways.

ISlandBoy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 31's will be just fine, maybe you need to re-index the torsion bar a bit to even up the ride. I have PROCOMP AT, so far so good. I don't really do hardcore wheeling, just backroads around the LA FORest and sand exploring around NEvada. When picking your tire, take into account the terrain that you are going, also on road and off road usage. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdoggNZ Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 So i'm wanting AT then. Oh and slightly noobish but that stands for Aggressive Tread or All Terrain lol? It will probably be like a 75% / 25% onroad/offroad ratio Unfortunately, its my only car so its my everyday driver so i can't afford to trash it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to translate for the Kiwi The Revo's are called D694's here Good all round tyre, just look at some of Pezzy's vids If you wanted something cheaper Bridgestone 604V's are not too shabby Kinda "S" tread pattern. AT's = All terrain MT's = Mud terrain When I put my 31's on I had to remove my front mud flaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add that the revo's have EXCELLENT road manners, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
