If you're gonna go "muddin'", consider a set of these... Made in Texas.



$120 each.... Remolds. Meets new tire Fed standards. I know quite a few Jeep owners who run Treadwrights, and have never had any issues....

That has to be a beast.  But, I am more interested in the blue car parked on it's right.  Is that a Camaro or Firebird?

It gets better. They are fun for all years you have them. But if you keep going where you were that day, you'll want some TSL's. Then you make the guy behind you look like that when you extract him.  :aok
And while WW is correct in a lot running those treadright things, with apparently no issues, I will not be. The ones he shows are similar to the old MTR pattern. I switched from TSL's to the new MTR's.

Yep, can't beet them for value.... I bought a set of 33" tires from them. The ones I selected use a modified BFG AT KO tread design. I spent an extra $50 to get the "Kedge Grip" rubber compound. The rubber has ground glass and walnut shell in it. Nearly as good as studs for packed snow and ice. Living where we get a sheet load of snow, I needed a tire that worked well in that, as well as on the beach and dirt fire roads. My former Mud/Terrains were great in deep snow, but not very good on snow packed roads. After 40,000 miles, they still had 7/32 of tread, but it was time to get what I needed for the winter....

I guess they must be out of stock, their website goes straight from 31" to 35" on the sizing selection... I'm looking for a set of 33"s for my Grand Cherokee. Don't want to go 35" and the 31" will look a bit small under a 4.5" lift I'm afraid.....

Great prices, though...

Call them... They'll make them for you. Might take a couple of weeks, but they will make them to order. When they have enough orders to justify a run, they run.... They are very busy, so the wait isn't long.

it's usually about a three day turn on caps,, of they have good carcasses,, finding good used tires to cap is almost always the holdup!
