I am trading my boggers for some goodyear mt/r's I wanted some tsls but these came along. But just want to see what you guys think about them. They are going on my bronco 2 and I just wanted a tire that would give me some side grip and the boggers dont. They are 37 12.50 15 if that makes a difference.
 
I had a set of 33's for a while. I had them at URE a couple of times. Never had any issues and they worked really well there. If I had the money I would buy another set only bigger.
 
If you're into mudding, you're gonna hate them.
 
Had a set and loved them....people say they work better out west in the dry rock conditions. There are no TSL but great tire on the hwy. They came stock on my Rubicon and I really liked them........
 
I like the look/tread style of the old MT/Rs (have a set on the Blazer) but have read/heard good reviews of the new ones. Try them and see, you can always sell them cheap on the board if you don't like them! J/K
 
had a set of 37s they did ok went to irocs night and day difference i just didnt no how hard those mtrs were till i swaped dont know if id have another set running low psi they did better.. id do the trade u will probley like them more than the boggers
 
I ran a set of 35's for about two years. Great all around tire and the sidewalls seemed to me to be tough as nails. The previouse few posts are correct though...they do not clean well at all in the mudd.
 
x2.....I heard they suck ass in the muddy mess we have around here.
 
And to pile it on even deeper, a quote from a bud running a set of MTRs (dyntrac60s, ARBs) at URE during a rain storm...

"slightly better than ribbed implement tires in mud" (emphasis on *slightly* :flipoff2:)

They'll likely be good trade fodder for the next mallcrawler to come along looking for a set of "quiet" tires... and the TSLs will be yours!
 
i have a set of 33's on my TJ and i love them all around except when its NASTY rainy outside and we decide to go play in the pit, then you would see me use my winch ALOT haha...

that was what I was thinking that I could trade them for some tsl and have better luck then
 
"slightly better than ribbed implement tires in mud" (emphasis on *slightly* ) x 472

They really really really suck in mud, or moist dirt, or a spot where someone pissed on a rock.

But if you only wheel on dry rock/ dirt, they are an awesome tire! Too bad we live in the south.

Ever tried wheeling with BFG AT's in the mud?

ANYTHING is better than those. The AT's are great on road, good in dry conditions, good with ice and snow, but with mud, watch out!

Ive got MTR's on the XJ right now. They do well on the highway, road noise isnt terrible. The little bit of mud I got on them seemed to clear okay, but I wouldnt want to take it through heavy mud stuff.
 
I would NEVER use those for an off road only rig around here. Great for an all terrain but you will not like them in the slop or slick rocks.
 
was planing on selling them what would a set go for has 3000 miles on them look new and are 37 12.5 15
