GEN 2 Need some good rubber for new Vorsteiner wheels

Open Country RTs here for winter. BFG KM2s for summer. The Toyos work really well. Much quieter than the BFGs.

Agreed

Looking good guys ^^

My new tires and wheels are enroute.

I'll post up some pics early next week when they are mounted, balanced and installed.

What did you end up with?

Well...

I ended up stopping by a local Goodyear dealer who talked me into and gave me a decent deal on:

• 35x12.5x20 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar, E load rating & about 71 lbs.

Definitely mixed review on lifespan and difficulty to balance. That said, I actually had these before (12 years ago) and like them (non Kevlar).

Why did I go a completely different direction after obtaining all the good advice here....I wanted to buy local and have had good luck w/ Goodyear personally. I feel the local dealer will take care of me if issues arise. That beats mail order where I have to ship one or more tires back for warranty.

Nothing wrong at all with the MTRs. I run them on my JK. 42"s They work real well. Mine are the soft compound, so wear is not good but I didn't buy them for wear. Traction is great.

YMMV but I wouldn't run those on hard packed snow or ice. My 37s were so bad, I had to get rid of them 1 month into the winter. Hope you have better luck!

Nope.
That was one item I stated in post one, these are not going to be used in winter.

Just throwing it out for anybody else reading.

MTR is a good looking tire with good traction in the dirt, but won't get you anywhere but an accident in a Midwest winter lol
