Here are a few shots of my new tires. I will take some more when I get them cleaned up.

Wow, looking good Rob. Now you need to put them to some use

are you joining us on the Harrisonburg run?

Rob Slade · 01-08-2002, 10:34 PM

Where is Harrisonburg?

*Jason_25* · 01-08-2002, 10:37 PM

It's in viriginia near George Washington National Forest. The run is on the 19th and I'm trying to get a caravan of people to go up there.

Rob Slade · 01-08-2002, 10:48 PM

What is your email address, we can work out stuff easier that way.

I really like the look of the side wall on that tire, I like it all.

Rob Slade · 01-09-2002, 10:34 AM

They are awesome tires and sooooo much more quiet than I ever thought they would be. My BFG's all terrains made the same amount of noise when they were worn. I think it is because they are so soft. They probably won't last but about 25-30k. Oh well, I'll enjoy them while they last.

This makes two of us with these tires. They look awesome. What size are they, where did you get them, and how much did you pay for them?

Rob Slade · 01-09-2002, 09:57 PM

They are 31x10.50 15's, I got them at www.4wheelparts.com , and they were $105 each.

A friend on mine just got those on his Sami, kick some butt in the sand and crawl great to. Not as good as my beloved MTR's though!

How has the wear been on the Trxus MTs now that you have had them for a while?

Rob Slade · 02-01-2003, 08:30 PM

I have put about 12,500 miles on them so far and to be honest they have worn better than I thought. The tread is very soft, so I thought they would go pretty quick. I rotate them every 3000 miles to make sure they wear evenly so maybe that helps. I should take a picture to show what the tread looks like now.
