Hey all, i am picking up some new mud terrain tires this week but am now down to 3 different tires that i am stuck on...i plan on getting 33x10.5x15's and my 3 options are:
Toyo Open Country MT's ($1083.96 for 4)
Interco Swamper M16's ($1115.96 for 4)
BF Goodrich MT KM2's ($867.96 for 4)
Now as for prices, the bf's are $200+ cheaper than the next for 4 tires. So price wise i see the BF's are the way to go...now my next question, what should i get lol. I own a set of Toyo MT's 33x12.5x15's on my 89 K5 blazer and i love these tires. BUT, I have always wanted an Interco tire (mainly the boggers for mud) but saw the M16's and would like to try them but the BF's are just so much cheaper and do just as well (or close to as well)...any prefernces or opinions on which one would be best? I live in Sacramento, CA and it pretty much rain or no rain...i will go to the mountains and not see tooo much snow as i dont care to wheel in the snow. It will see mud and rock but majority logging trails and parts of the Rubicon. It is a DD but these are the 3 i am going in between now, all others have been cancelled out. I am not a fan of AT's even though they are probably all i would need but just not my forte right now. Also, i will be purchasing some pro comp steel crawler wheels but not sure if i should go glossy or flat paint (black). I have looked at a lot of threads here and just cant seem to wrap my mind around which ones. Thanks in advance if anyone has an opinion on the tires
Here is a pic of it right now (this picture does not have my blacked out windows which i just got done the other day so they are completely black) i am sitting on Dunlop P265/70R16's with no lift and 3.73 gears. I will be doing a TT/Shackle lift so they fit too, possibly a BL lift if i have the extra money.
