MTRs are decent for a radial but... they're still a radial. You are correct, they are decent all around tires. Best....don't know about that. Personally, I consider all the decent radial mud terrains about equal. BFG, MTR, MTZ etc.
thats kind of like saying krawlers / creepy crawlers / and trepadors are all on par ...
close .. .definitely ... on par with each other, hell no.

BFG BITCHES!!!!! Ya I rock them
We need real rednecks in this club that will run boggers or thornbirds....all the cool kids are doing it.
O ya, driving a rig on the street sucks tires are to much $$$$$ for that. If I could do it over again i'd probaly get some Sx's or TSL's. My jeep spends most of it's time in the yard
That statement

Your statement seemingly contradicts itself.
They're "close"... but actually "hell no" they're not.
I don't consider the comparison between radials and bias tires worth making. They're basically intended for different applications.

I'm gonna have to call B.S. on the MTR having a tougher sidewall than a TSL, SX, Bogger, etc.

but from where on the tire? did you run over some nails, sure it isnt the wheel? Plus you also got them used. I really have no place in this argument....big tires and offroading is for pansies.

correct me if im wrong
JC Whitney has 20% off any order over $200
There's also a $75 rebate for Mickey Thompsons
Four 4x Baja MTZ 35x12.50s delivered
$697.56
Not too bad a deal
It sounds like to me the guy is just trying to help someone out by spreading the word about a sale on tires (which i found very helpful seeing how it saved me aboult 175 bucks on my new tires) BTW thank you andrew. the reason this thread is so dumb is because some JACKASS had to knock on the mans tires. which makes no sense to me seeing as that person hasnt wheeled in how long????? and btw what tires are you running anyway cody?? straight treads and pro-comp muds?? i thank ill take the MTZ's over that any day!!! i do agree the mtr's are a good tire id like to have a set but 900+ bucks for a set of tires is outta my price range
