Re: Tire research
I looked at Toyo and it is also right in there on tread and design. I was going for an American product if I can. (I really did not want "Toyo" on my Hummer tires.) I also was hoping for somewhere around $700 for 4 and probably going to get 5. Just because I could spend a thousand I would rather look for quality at a little less money. I am after all going out to see how hard I can run them. I found I could buy a set for around $700+ and get black steel rims for a total of $1000. Im glad to have so many choices. I ran a Toyota LandCrusher Wagon FJ55 back in the seventies and Armstrong Tru Trac 11 x 15 was a high teck tire except maybe ordering from Cepek.

Re: Tire research
IMHO you should try out a set of Maxxis Buckhorns (not Buckshots) and tell me it they are any good..
They generally go on Ebay for about $625 a set delivered.. One of the places on Ebay that has them is a tire shop in Tuckerman, AR BTW.. I've heard they'll sell 'em for even less (including mount and balance) at the shop since they don't have to ship..

Re: Tire research
I've ran three sets of the Pro Comp's in the past and never had any problems. I ran the 305's and 315's. The 305 seemed to last longer because of a harder rubber compound. Hope this helps.

Re: Tire research
Visitors got to see a new line of all-terrain radial light truck tires available from Mickey Thompson, a company owned by Cooper. The new Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ radial comes in sizes for most light truck/SUV applications, from the traditional 30x9.50R15LT size to the 40x13.50R20LT. This tire, says the company, features ?stone kickers? between each shoulder lug.
I found that on a SEMA report site. Another Cooper huh?
Im liking the reports and wrap around tread.
