Ok, just for some sunday afternoon fun...seeing what everyone thought the best tire for these categories are. Remember that the tires have to be relatively Road-saavy or they do not count (SSRs will slide, but Boggers will not)...radials only, only bias plys allowed are Bajas. Ok, we can make up the rules as we go...


Mud:


Sand:


Snow:


Rock:


Ice:


Ok, post your replies...

 

well it just came to mind that i titled the thread "best mud tire" and it shoulda been "best offroad tire" but anyways here are my votes...

Mud: SSR
Sand: Baja Belted
Rock: ProComp M/T
Ice: BFG A/T (i'm not around it eno tho to judge)
Snow: ProComp A/T (i'm not around it eno tho to judge)


Anyways...

 

mud - PJ
Rock - PJ
sand - PJ
Snow - PJ

and on the road, the run better and smother than my 35" pro comp ats

okay and I thought I would get some proof.... here it is!

ok, i'm going to try this again. (don't know what happened a minute ago)

mud- goodyear mt/r, I've owned many sets of mud tires in the last 20, or so years. these beat all the radial mudders i've owned. (if bias were allowed, ground hawg's get my vote, lol)

rock- again the mt/r, not because i'm a rock guy, but because the rock guys say they are great. my rock runs consist of creek beds and river banks. although they do fine on this for me, too.

sand- any extra-wide tire with mild tread. the mickey t's would get my vote here. i don't think you can get paddle tires in a radial, can ya? LOL!

snow- depends on the consistency of the snow. deep snow, i would think wide, tall and aggressive. slushy snow with a bottom, skinny and tall and less aggressive.

ice- what works best for me is an old set of studded snow tires, yep, they are radials. those 1/4" pieces of steel seem to get a pretty good hold in the ice.

have fun fellas, Rich.

 

I have been very happy with my 35x12.5 bfg mt
Mud- no probs bfg mt
Sand- have not been in a lot, but sume np w/bfg mt
Snow- work well in the deep
Ice- bfg a/t with sipes

 

sorrry you guys but there is not a single mud tire better than the superswamer bogger......

 

jdm,

you may be right. but, there's not a worse tire for an everyday driver either, is there?

 

Mud-Tsl Radial, i'm not too sure how the Ground Hawg Radials and Gumbo Radials do but i'm sure they are in close seconds if not better
Rock-MTR
Sand-uh, dunno
Snow-uh, dunno
Ice-nothing

 

i forgot one for the mud snow and sand. Michelin and GY(i think GY does) make 50+ inch radials, do those count?

 

haha...50" radials? how about we stick to legal tires 44 and lower! HAHA....
