View Full Version : Poll: 32x12.50x15 Tires
sk1er17 02-24-2004, 10:40 PM This poll was originally for 32x12.50x15 tires but im starting to thing they were typos on webpages and that size doesnt exist (except for the mickey thompson).
I want the biggest 32 i can find but they're all pretty close- its give and take. So i want a vote of the tires below : by price/treadwear/off-roadability.
Lets see what the overall site thinks about MT's.
BTW: if the first couple of posts in this thread dont make sense to you- thats because this thread has been modified greatly from its original form... so just go with the flow
1) http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/bridgestone/bs_dueler_mt_uni_t.jpg : Dueler MT : 31.8x11.9 : $142
2)http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/dunlop/du_radial_mud_rover.jpg : Dunlop MT : 31.3x12.2 : $94
3)http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/bfg/bfg_mud_terrain_ta_km.jpg : BFG MT : 31.8x11.4 : $134
4)http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/goodyear/gy_wrangler_mtr.jpg : Goodyear MT/R : 31.5x11.4 : $152
5)http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/kumho/ku_road_venture_mt.jpg : Kuhmo MT : 31.5x11.4 : $93

sk1er17 02-24-2004, 10:43 PM Hmm, it'd also be cool if people know the actual dimensions of the tires... that might be asking too much though :D
Maybe i should add these to the Poll: What ya think? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2598676594&category=46540) :burnout:
GRNMACHINE 02-27-2004, 08:05 AM Dont know of any radial tires in 32x12.50 size. BFG/Goodyear dont make them. If they did I would have them on my truck. The tire manufacturer websites usually have all the info on actual size/diameter/treadwidth etc as they are all a little different. Tirerack also has that info. I have ord'd frm Tirerack, 4wheelparts, and Discount as well as local places that are willing to match/come close to their prices. If you find a 32x12.50 let us know, Im sure there are others out there that would like to run that size. I did alot of looking to find that size and never found it.
sk1er17 02-27-2004, 08:34 AM Heres 1 (http://www.winecountryrockcrawlers.org/members/mjoseph/)
This guy claims to have them in AT's (http://pbfwdc.org/smoot.htm)
Yet anohter Heep with em (http://www.off-road.com/jeep/readers/rboydxj.htm)
This one has 32x12.50x15 AT's (http://electronicyardsale.com/my%20ride.jpg)
And there's more out there....
birdman 02-27-2004, 09:03 AM man I don't know, they look like standard 32x11.50's to me. You know some people have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to tires, they probably bought their trucks with them already on it and forgot the width. As for me, I've never seen one in real life. As far as I know only swampers and some of the other old mud tire companies even make them such as mickey thompson. Let us know what you find.
sk1er17 02-27-2004, 09:07 AM yea mickey thomspon makes the baja belted in that size but everyones turning me off them so i dont think i want to spend $180/tire on crappy tires just for the extra inch width.
i have a friend that works at a BFG place so he's gonna try to find out for me.
On another note: does anyone know the actual dimensions of the 32x11.50x15 BFG MT?
NOTAJP 02-27-2004, 09:18 AM All of your examples are either missprints, or the owener just doesn't know what they are talking about. MT is the only manufacture to make a 32x11.50. Several company's sell 31x12.50, even BFG. Unless you are a serious off-roader and don't commute, then you don't want a bias tire. I love Mickey's but they don't last long and drive like crap on the pavement.
sk1er17 02-27-2004, 09:29 AM anyway for a MOD to turn that into the pole and ill just let you guys know if i find the 32x12.5's ?
birdman 02-27-2004, 02:08 PM My vote is for MTR for offroad capability or Dueler MT for tread wear.
sk1er17 02-27-2004, 06:31 PM you think the goodyears are better offroad then the Duelers? (wow, first person to put both of them ahead of the BFG's!)
birdman 02-27-2004, 10:47 PM dude I run the duelers but I used to hang out with a guy with a jeep on 31 MTR's all the time. I think they would probably own duelers in most anything except mud. Be an interesting test if he still had his.

sk1er17 03-02-2004, 09:37 PM 15 thousand some people on this site, 13 thousand asking questions on tires and only 20 votes on this thread... c'mon guys
Premier 03-02-2004, 10:04 PM I just got myself some pro-comp MT tires. They are buy 3 get one free at 4WP right now. So about 120$ a tire. :)
And where is the pole option for them...
sk1er17 03-02-2004, 10:08 PM yea- i wish pro-comp would do that sale in like 2 months. Im not really leaning towards them right now because they're very expensive and seem to be the smallest out of the MT tires listed..
but they do say "EXPLORER" on the sidewall :cool:

Moderator just have forgot to add them in- this pole was changed from its original form.
When they are added in- the poll still holds for pro-comp MT's at $170 a tire, not $120 because when it comes time to purchase them the sale might not be around. So they best be worth $40 more than the BFG's per tire to get votes (thats one thing im curious to see on here)
Premier 03-02-2004, 10:12 PM Well, the pro comp sale started yesterday. When I got them... A week ago, I just asked how much they could cut off the price. The guy knocked almost 30$ per tire off the price. 4WP is pretty generous, and it never hurts to ask.
sk1er17 03-02-2004, 10:18 PM oh i know, i got my buddy pro-comp AT's mounted and balanced on black rock crawler rims all shipped for $700ish ... thats more than $100 off
but i can probably find discounts on the other tires too- so i want to keep this as simple and basic as possible for the best results.
Clemson 03-02-2004, 10:35 PM I purchased a set of 31x11.5 Futura Dakota's at Pep Boys I think they were like $80 each on sale. Even when not on sale they are only like $90 a piece...
I think it was like $330 mounted and the whole nine yards
Really a great deal considering their tread is very similar to BFG's All Terrians.
They perform flawless on most situations minus really thick sticky red clay south carolina mud after a thunderstorm....other then that they are great for off road use on dirt, gravel, mud, water, and even snow.
I think this is similar to what you are looking for
They (Pep Boys) also carry a "mud terrian" style tire for like $10 more
sk1er17 03-02-2004, 10:44 PM Clemson,
Thanks for the info. Im looking at strictly a mud terrain tire. I havent heard of them but ill check them out. I know there are a lot of mud terrain tires out there for great prices; ie: the Uniroyal Laredo MT has some good reviews on this site also and are very cheap at BJ's.
The 6 tires i chose for this poll were chosen due to popularity. They are the most spoken of tire and therefore i though i would get the best results out of these tires- unlike the ones you mentioned where you may be the only person to vote on it.
I do appreciate any information on other tires out there and will follow up on them as well for those of you out there not voting because your favorite tire isnt listed there. And im looking for an MT tire- not AT.
-And lastly but not least for those offering other tires; try to make sure they come in a 32x11.50x15- im not budging from that size unless you got a free 3"BL for me or find a 32x12.50x15 tire :D
EBInterceptor 03-02-2004, 10:57 PM If you notice they all have the same basic tread pattern only varying slightly. I like the look of the BFGs and Goodyears. Goodyears are pretty pricey so I say the BFGs. This is all based on looks alone, I don't know much about the quality of each, but the Khomos have the exact tread pattern as the BFGs except the middle treads are facing in the opposite direction.
I'm also a fan of the big white lettering on the BFGs

im mounting any tire i get blackwall :D
EBInterceptor 03-03-2004, 11:04 AM It's stuck in my head that the wheels are the most important part of a vehicles looks. And my dad was always big on keeping his lettering clean, and that has stuck with me too. He even hassles me if my letters are the least bit yellow.
BigDadys93x 03-03-2004, 02:00 PM I must say BFG's all the way I have had them on every 4x4 I have ever owned and they have never once let me down. I have interco truxus sts's on my 93 X now but once they are gone I will put the BFG's back on!
