Tire Question

[DRTYFN]

In no particular order, here's my opinion on the tires I've had experience with on the H2. All of them have been run on stock wheels(powder-coated black, of course).

Iroks- Awesomely durable and amazing off-road tire. Gives you a sense of invulnerability when off-roading. Great in the mud. Very good on sand. Pretty good in the snow. Ok on wet pavement. Decent noise level on pavement when new, but becomes increasingly noisy as the tread wears down. A horrible tire to balance, requiring excessive amounts of weight. I keep them stacked in the garage when I'm not wheeling.

GoodYear MTRs- Awesome rock crawler. Extremely flexible and very durable. They pack up with mud and aren't very good at self-cleaning(throwing mud). Very good on snow, decent on ice(when siped). Very good on sand(when aired down). On dry pavement they are very good, with low noise. Decent tire to balance. But in the two sets I've had, one tire always wore faster than the others regardless of how often they were rotated. Currently running these tires.

BFG A/Ts- Stock tires. Really a great all around tire. Very good off-roading tire. Pretty good in the mud. Very good in the sand(when aired down). AWESOME on snow and ice(when siped). I've driven around Portland several times when the streets were covered with snow & ice and never slipped once(maybe because I'm the Master). Excellent tire on wet & dry pavement. Excellent tire to balance. Very low noise level. Stacked in the garage waiting for winter.

I've got a set of 35x12.50x17 Toyo Open Country M/Ts on order. So keep an eye out for my set of used MTRs to go up for sale.
