YOUR FAVORITE TIRES FOR YOUR HUNTIN RIG

I just put Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ LT275/70R18 on my 07 Tundra this spring. So far they have been great although I did get a harsher ride with the load range E. Had to put a RevTek lift on to accomadate the bigger tires (used the 2WD kit for the front cause it gave me a 2 3/4 inch spacer instead of the 2.5). Been offroad a few times and they seemed to work great. They do pick up rocks and you get that clack, clack noise on the pavement and they do have some road noise in the cab, but not terrible. It is nice to be different, though (Sorry Toyo and BFG clubs). Can't wait to try them out in the snow.

I have had so many flats while off road that I have to carry my dive tank, regulator and tire adaptor with me. A few years ago WF70 and I had just loaded my Montana buck in the carrier and headed up to the service road, when we got there we spotted a couple more BIG bucks so we stopped to glass them. After we were done drooling :drool: we went to get back in and saw one of the fronts was flat :bash: We went to the back to get the spare and jack and saw a rear was flat too >:( 60 miles from town out in the sage, not good. We limped in to town and got them fixed but man that sucked. I can pump up my tires with the tank now so its not so bad unless its a huge hole. That Excursion weighs 8000lbs and is hard on tires. The best I have found since then is the Les Schwab Wild Country Mud Terrains, flats have not been a issue with those.

I just got some nitto mud grapplers 35/14.5 and man do I love them. They are very expensive but the ride quality is great the traction is outstanding, and when I balanced them they took less weight then most car tires I have done, but they are a little loud. I just took them out in the mud for the first time the other day and never had to put my bronco in 4wheel drive, I couldn't even hardly stand in the road and not slip but the tires got traction and didn't really spin that much.

My wifes 2006 explorer has the terragrapplers and they are a great tire too, we put them on it last year and during the winter we drove it in about 3ft of snow a didn't have a problem. :yike: I'm sold on nittos quality in tires I think you get what you pay for and after working for 4 years in tires shops I have seen what brands are better then others and I have to say the nittos really shine other a lot of brands. Cooper, micky, interco, and ect all make great tires too and I have can just about all of them at one point, Cooper makes a lot of the other companies tires and do a great job doing it too. My last set of tires was the cooper discoverer s/t and it was a great tire that never let me down and I would pass up a good deal on them. The only tires I have had problems with are the BFG A/T's/T/A's. The KM/km2, crawlers seem to be a great tires and I havent seen any have major problem's. :twocents:

I would recommend  3 tires. I say three because my dad swears by one, my uncle swears by one and myself has one.
FIRST  is mine which is BFGoodrich ATs KO :drool:, have had 2 sets first set was on my 96 S-10 when I bought it. They worked very well I put about 20,000 miles on them then I had a sidewall blow out and had to buy a cheap set of Les Schwabs for $$ reasons. Then put a set on my 03 Silverado 1500 had them snipped. 265/70R16 Load range D. Never had a problem with them, they worked awsome in the snow and ice, and where quite on the road. I never got into a whole lot of mud, but did very well in mud around the farm in Goldendale, and did outstanding in the dunes at Moses Lake. They also have a seal of approval by WSDOT, for winter driving you don't have to put on chains when chains are required. Put 40,000 miles on them and they where still about 45% tread left, traded off that truck and the new Silverado had 17" tires so I couldn't switch them. Otherwise I would of. :'(

My dad swears by Goodyear Wrangler MTS, manager at the local goodyear shop has had 2 pairs of them and my dad just put his first set on his dodge 2500 cummins.

My uncle has had 2 sets of Goodyear Wrangler ATS and he loves them. He has a Toyota Tacoma, he gets good mileage out of them, but they have a little road noise.
