Well i had been debating about getting 30's or 31's, i wanted the 31's but every shop around here didn't recomend the 31's, some wouldn't even put them on, and some laughed when i asked for a test fit to see if they would fit. But i finally got ahold of Tires Plus where they guy actually RECOMMENDED i put on the 31's, he said he had done it multiple times with no problems, and if there was he would put on 30s, he also gave me a 30 day no questions asked guarentee, so if i don't like them, or the rub or anything, they'll take em back.
I ended up going with the Mastercraft Courser A/T m+s, I explained i was moveing up to the mnts and would need a good tire for dirt/gravle muddy roads, and snow. He didn't recomend the M/Ts, said that unless i was doing extreme offroading, and wasn't planning on myaking this my primary vehicle they would be to much. But hightley reccomended the A/T m+s (mudd + snow?). I asked bout the BFG at ko's and other tires, he said they were also great tires but, that other than a non brand name theese were just as good. Ive had coursers before and was quite pleesed with thme, got 40,000 out of them before RA bushin wear cupped them really bad. Wasn't to noticeble till i got everything fixed.
Anyways back to my point ive tried them on gravle and dirt, and they work fine, have yet to see rain or snow. I would recommend to anyone looking to buy new tires to get the 31's, and if the shops don't wont do it, find someone that will. Now it looks like a truck. And maybe because its a 6 ply tire instead of a 2 ply tire, the ride is a tiny rougher but definatly firmer. I feel like i have more control, and there is hardly any dipping, when turning or stoppin. Definatly feel more control. WEll im just rambling on now, i will stop.
