Title: Tire Advice
Post by: jfair on 12/18/11 - 04:22PM
My 33x12.50s are getting some severe dry rot and its time to replace them ..... wanting to get away from my mud terrain and go to a a/t. Anyone have any ideas on a good performing a/t with low road noise thats not to high in price???? My m/t are way to loud on road and is driving me nuts but I love the way they peform off road...guess im looking for a tire thats quiet and still good on the trails.

BFG KO's are ok for offroad and very good street manners.  If you are wanting a good combo you may look at mickey thompson ATZ as well.

www.tirerack.com looks like a good place to get tire reviews and some idea on pricing tires.

I just replaced my duratrac's Tuesday, I had the 31x10.50.  They have great road manners and do awesome in snow with little to no road noise.  I only had two flats during the year that I had them, I lost a bead while out on the trails and cut a sidewall another day on the trails, the sidewalls are rather thin.  They got me where I wanted to be most of the times on the trails.  The only reason I got rid of them was I went to a 33x12.50.

I got some definity at from pepboys about a year ago. They are 33's and I got a mail in rebate for the 4th tire which made it just under $700 for all 4 tires. I have had them out at smorr a couple times, driven several roadtrips with them and I am very happy. Not a bad tire. BTW they are made by cooper is what I was told.
