Looking for an all-terrain tire test volunteer (or a few)

[mattadams]

KEbert, yeah I'd like to get some Michelins in on the test too. Just take some tread measurements and email em to me if you could.
Paul, just looking to get the amount of tread lost over x amount of miles. If its not going to get much use I'd prefer not to put it in the test, just because if the tires wear down like 1/64th over a year but you only drive 100 miles, its not quite an accurate descriptor of the tires .
Ron, yeah I've already got some Pro-comp AT's in the test, thanks though.

I WILL be running 35"s on the F-150. This after I get the suspension lift done on it.

What lift did you get? My friend has a 150 that is almost identical to yours and is looking into lifting it.

I could measure the Wrangler RT/S that are on the Jeep if you want. I put lots of miles on that.

KEbert, probably going with the Rancho 4" lift with RS-9000's.
Paul, that'd work.

First I've seen of this thread or Idda helped out. I can't wait to see some results though, good idea matt.

 

[Paul Gagnon]

What's the prize?

 

[mattadams]

the prize is getting your name mentioned in the article... LOL

 

[KEbert]

Matt, I just emailed you but I only sent the inner measurment. The outer is .5". I just forgot about that.

 

[KEbert]

I was just curious as to how this was going. If it still is.

Hey Matt how is this going? Looking to buy some At's here in the near future.

 

[mattadams]

It kinda died off. The whole deal was because I was planning on being sponsored by pro-comp tires and wanted to put them head to head with some other tires so I'd have something to compare them to, then they took back their offer and I decided not to waste the time...

Well FFFFFINE.

I'd hate for you the have to waste your precious time, Matt. As for me, I'm looking to buy tires and I'd love to have a good comparison to check against. I can't find anything good on the web. And I got all excited when I thought the wonderful people at Serious Explorations would have just what I wanted. Well, here's to you and the horse you rode in on.

You know I'm kidding. But seriously, a good tire comp would be great to have. Just like that oil filter comp that has been mentioned a few times. I preach oil filter choice all the time now. A good tire comp would be even MORE helpful.

If anyone knows of an unbiased AT tire comp on the web, let me know.
