Those are Michelin 40.00R57 XDC Earthmovers. It's going to take a lot of crankin' on those torsion bars to get those to fit!

I dont think you can go wrong with a BFG A/T, untill the BFG M/T's I just bought for my H3 the A/T has been the tires I ran on the last 4 trucks I have owned. They last a long time, handle any terrain very well, look good, and are tough as nails. IMO BFG's are the best out there. I have tried several others and havent found a better one yet.

Thanks all, from what I am hearin BFG T/A would continue to make me happy. I was always happy with them on my other rides and it sounds like a few others of you have found some other tires you like but many continue to like these as well.

Although I could go the billet route and get some blocks of rubber and create my own, then I could sipe them myself. (Actually I do have a family member with a rubber grooving tool for tires, who has done some very cool treads)...but for an on-road vehicle I think I'll pass

35"s How you guys doing with them? Like I said I have noticeable rubbing (not that I hear but I can see where they have) fom the stock 33's I would love the looks of the more aggressive T/A in 35" on my H3 but I don't want to lose travel. More info as you guys have lived with a 35" tire and off-roaded with it would be great!

Thanks to all.

BTW, those on the back of the semi-flat bed were my mine, I did a test fit and found they rubbed slightly more then a I cared for at full articulation. But man they looked killer

Going to add in a few more tidbits of wisdom I learned today.

I had the opportunity to wheel with a TTORA group today. Lots of the trucks had the BFG AT KO's on and they, like myself, all had the same issue. Wet dirt clogged up the treads and turned the tires into slicks. Where there wasn't sticky mud... NO ISSUES. Where there was sticky mud... Slip Slidin Away.

One of the Tacos had the Cooper STT's on and I've got to tell you. That truck had zero issues with mud and climbed rock like a billy goat.

Take a serious look at the Cooper STT's before you make up your mind. Thats my $.02... Take it for what its worth.


OBTW - Pics from this outing will be posted soon.

Yeah, you lazy bastards what about the 35"s....just kidding, thanks so much for the info it helps a ton for a novice like myself!

I have wheeled for 25 yrs in Michigan

BFG A/Ts are hard to beat for an all around tire on a DD

Their only weak spot is Mud.

I have Interco trXus MTs on my CJ7 and like them but BFG A/Ts are better in the sand.

Interco is an American company.

Anyone run Cooper STTs in the snow?

I'm huge fan of BFG ATs offroad and in the snow and put them on my blazer, 4runner and wife's land cruiser. It would take a solid gold recommendation on their snow performance for me to ditch my ATs for them.
