BFG MT's or Goodyear MT/R's

[Detonate]

I'm having a hell of time getting ahold of MT/R's. The guy I talked to at Goodyear says they are shipping them all to Iraq at the moment.

The guy I talked to at Discount Tire is trying to talk me into BFG MT's, but since I really don't know much about tires, I've just been going off of everyone else's expierences.

MT/R's seem to be the proven solution, so should I hold out for them?

Det,

I had BFG MT's on my Jeep TJ and now have MTR's on my H2. I prefer the MTR's.

They are a bit quieter and seem to do better overall (snow, mud, dirt) than the MT's. I just had the H2 out in the snow,sleet, ice, etc and it behaved perfectly...no issues. On my TJ, the MT's would slip in rain and snow.

Now, you can't really compare the H2 with the TJ but it's the only comparison I can offer.

Have you tried ordering them from Canada? May be a bit more but I think you may be able to find them up there?

[Detonate]

Well the only comparision I have at this point is that Discount Tire offers the MT/R's for $190 per tire and that's mounted and balanced.

While the MT's are $250.

$250 per tire seems steep to me, not to mention I have a feeling that the MT/R's are better. But I just want to make sure that's the overall assesment.

I really don't want to pay more for a lesser tire.

It's hard enough to convince my wife that I need new tires on a 8 month old vehicle as it is.

I haven't tried Canada. The problem I'm having is that most places, while they offer 37" MT/R's, they don't stock them. They just order them as needed. And everyone says they are on back order.

I hear ya...

Try doing a search on 4X4 places. They might stock larger size tires like you're looking for...

Anyone have any experience with the Pro Comp Mud Terrains? They look similar to the MTs.

I say go with the MT/R...I have scraped,cut,and generally abused mine for over 20k miles...and I wheel on them hard. Never had a problem with them, the sidewalls are awesome and the road noise, performance, and wear all are very reasonable.

From what I have seen on the trail and from talking to owners of the Procomp X-terrains I would go with the MT/R over the procomp products every time. I know 2 owners of the x-terrains personally and they both are switching back to the MT/R (buy 3 get one free is not as good a deal as it seams...)

Good luck finding them, let everybody know where they turn up!

Detonate,

Have you tried Sam's Club. Seems like there are 2 that's right by you. One on I-30 and one on I-20. I know Sam's sells the MT/R's and hell you might get lucky.

Hey detonate,
I have also been searching and searching for MT/R's. I've canceled my order with 4wheelparts.com, They've been on backorder forever. I'm was also told to consider the BFG MT's but I feel the MTR's are superior. I'm just going to hold out and hopefully in a few months there will be a big enough stock around the country to buy some.

Detonate,

Been looking for weeks for the MT/R's. I checked all the online stores and local stores to no avail.

I just found a set on Ebay last week, so you might check there.

Good Luck!

What do you think. Worth $1100 including the rims?

That doesn't seem like much tread to me, but I'm not sure how much they come standard with.

And I don't really need or for that matter like these rims. But I'm wondering if I can sell these rims? Or maybe I could use them and swap back and forth between my on road, off road tires?

Rrrrrrrrr...

Does not look like much tread to me either.... Not 1100 bucks worth anyway...

The guy says there are only about 4,000 miles on the tires, and after I looked at some more of the pictures of New tires on the yellowh2.com site, I tend to agree.

Well these seem to be my options.

Those 4 for $1100 which includes the rims no shipping. + $100ish to mount balance.

5 tires, 4 with 7k miles and 1 with none for $1,000 + shipping + $100ish to mount balance.

5 BFG MT's for $1,500, no shipping, includes mounting and balancing.
