Boomin's getting a sex change

[boominXplorer]

actually beleive it or not I am gonna wheel it 2wd. I will be in mud and sand. Im really leaning toward the MTR's now

 

[410Fortune]

MTR= too much $$$, not great in sand.
Stick with a AT, like the DCFCII's
Not nearly as pricey as others, *****in tires

 

[boominXplorer]

So an AT type tire will usually do better in the sand?

 

[j602]

Get baja claws. I've heard great things about them for sand.

 

[410Fortune]

yes AT is better in sand, some MT's

 

[boominXplorer]

Get baja claws. I've heard great things about them for sand.

I hear they arn't the best for long lasting. There also isn't much difference between them and X-terrains

 

[Creager]

Kumho claims the Venture MT was designed after sand wheelin, but works great in all conditions...

sales gimic or real, i dunno the work great for what i do

$$$CHEAP$$$

actually there is my EXACT truck running around here on like 32's. Looks basic with like all-terrains though. My mounty will be 1 of a kind when im done (Full glass)

*ahem. i think im the only one mounty with full glass bro. hehe.. but i do need a twin. i'll just be the older one with the longtravel and supercharger eh?

 

[clarkkent]

p.s. all terrains suck in sand, get a toned down mudd terrain like a bfg and keep the psi down to 10. anything harsher then a bfg like a rockcrawler tire persay xterrain or boggers and ur just gonna dig.

did i mention i live in sand?

 

[boominXplorer]

I was talking about in my area clark lol. Im 4k miles from you on another beach. What about goodyear MTR's?

BTW I'm gonna go solid after I get most of this truck paid off

I will tell you from personal experience that the Baja Claws smoke the bfg mud terrians in sand. When i switched to baja claws i went straight to some sand hills near me. The Claws seem to get more forward motion then the mud terrians. With the m/t's it seemed like i sunk when trying to climb hills, but with the claws they didnt sink much at all.

 

[boominXplorer]

how wide of wheels are you running?>

 

[j602]

Pretty sure he's running 15x8's.

 

[JTX]

Yeah 15x8, But if i had to do it agian i would go 15x10 for sure. Looks alot better!

 

[clarkkent]

hmm. yeh ive never tried the baja claws, but i believe it. ive seen the ad in a mag and it said "great for sand"

so ur gonna go soild axle.. oh snap man.

 

[mynameisaric]

i heard 15x10 rims lose there bead easier. smaller rims keep the tire bead locked in better.

 

[davidmmm69]

I bought my tires yesterday...

I wanted to stay with the BFG's
so on craigslist.org i found locally a set with rims and worried about not being able to use the rims cause he bought htem for a jeep wrangler. after some research the jeep wrangler and ford explorer both ahve the same bolt pattern...

so i got BFG'S 33X12.50X15 plus american racing rims. the tires are not the all terrain like mine were but the mud terrains...
they have less than 1000 miles on them and i got the whole thing for about $350.00
and also for my 2002 I bought new off of a new toyota 4x4 werre Bridgestone Dueller HT's 265X70X16 with just a few miles on them... not bad for $150.00 cash. and my brother in law will take them to his school this week and mount balance and align it all for just a thank you...

i heard 15x10 rims lose there bead easier. smaller rims keep the tire bead locked in better.

probably when aired down. Tire pressure is the biggest thing. I've seen people run 6 psi and no break a bead! I've seen people run 20 psi and break.

[410Fortune]

at 8 psi I got a rock stuck in my bead, but I have never lost one.
33x12.50 on 15x8 rims, I usually go to about 12 psi, thats pretty soft for my light BII.

 

[boominXplorer]

my 15x8s came in today. I hopefully will pickup robb's tires friday or maybe saturday (35x12.50 Regul Trailblazers). I also ordered a 3'' PA Body lift in case I need it but I dont want to use it if I dont have to.
