my welder showed me the tires he is running on his dodge duelly:
"Aurora" load range E (285/75 R16) made in Korea.

He really likes them: has bold hiway design on fronts, and off road aggressive design on rear. I am going to search to see if they make a tread in between.

X2 to that ^ !

For me, it's either Michelins, or Nokians. I gave up on Goodyear tires, a long time ago.


But you have to admit, Goodyear makes some great commercials ... some of their UK commercials are priceless - http://www.metacafe.com/watch/762914...r_commercials/

the original mtr tires were pretty good for jeeps/suvs and half ton trucks, depending on what you drive if you are looking for a purpose built off road tire that will still perform decently on the highway i am sure that you will be happy

Default michelin tires

I took what you guys have said and had a look at the tires that they provide and they dont have anything that would even do somewhat ok in off road applications, I dont thinkyou guys know what the mtr with kevlar is. It is an off road tire. so with that being said, I am looking a getting a new off road tire. but something that does ok on the highway. I had A set of TSL thornbirds, but they wore down so fast and they were pretty much a straight up mudtire.
