What tires are you 4x4 guys running?
Well since my shocks post went so well I decided to run a tire thread. Right now I'm currently running Wild Country Radial RVT (the 3-lug AT version) which suck very much (see sig). The truck came with 33x12.50xR16.5's so I'm limited to what kind of tires I can run.
Next time around though (1st of the year) I'm going to go for something with a little more bite. I'm thinking Remington Mud Brutes because a friend of mine works at the local Mom & Pop shop that sell's Remingtons.
I had a 93 Ext. Cab Toyota (first vehicle) with some 33x12.50xR15 Mud Brutes and after 2 years and 20K plus miles they still had half tread left. My buddy at the shop says that he has a customer that owns a Ext. Cab Long Bed Dodge 2500 4x4 with the 360 (less weight but also a ext. cab compared to mine) and he get's 45-50K miles out of them. I kinda find it hard to believe, but if he can get that kind of mileage out of them than I can get at least 30K with rotation and watching the air pressure.
You guys running 33x12.50XR16.5's what air pressure do you run your tires at F/R? The place I had to replace two of my RVT's at over inflated them and I wore my center sipes out of the lugs before I noticed.
I'll stop rambling now so I can see what you guys have to say. Please don't be all BFG BFG BFG. I can't and won't spend $900-1000 on tires when I don't have too.
Thanks,
Mark
