Ordering 31s soon

[dirtnap]

Why order you may ask? Simple, I intend to run retreads from these guys, http://treadwright.com/Tires-31x10_50R15_M_T-P16.aspx I've dealt with these guys before, and have nothing but good things to say about them, I recommend them to anybody trying to shave a few bucks off of their project costs.

I've seen that website before, I even posted it a while back. Thats cool though, it's nice to "know" someone that has good experience with them.

I ran their mud terrains on my 80 Cherokee for years, hardly used any rubber, got good traction, and never had a failure, and that's on some of the tougher trails in Northern California.

...:scratch:..That tire looks just like an MT/R...I wonder why they show 33's and 37's but no 35's???...For undr $100 dollars I would give them a run for the money..

update

just ordered them 5 minutes ago, I expect them next week.

 

[Tbars4]

...Keep us informed as others have been asking about that company lately..

 

[dirtnap]

will do, I swore by them when they were high tec, hopefully the change in name hasn't effected their quality, I'll get pics of them when I get them mounted.

I know 4 people that run them, they are pretty good. They come in basically two patters for M/T which is the BF Goodrich-ish and the Goodyear Wrangler-ish.

The only brand of tires I've seen out last them are Mickey Thompson, Dick Cepek and Interco.

I have been planning to buy my next set from them for a quite some time. Hoping they start making 35's soon. Might have something to do with the popularity of 35's. Probably can't find any usable cores.

I ordered 4 31`s from them but I had michelin treads put on bf goodrich carcases and they have ran better than any tire i have had. Excellent service and the people are super friendly. The tires balanced easy and the ride is very smooth. Next set will be from them

got the tires 30 minutes ago, getting ready to go get them mounted now, they look great, they came on BFG carcasses, now I have to pick a 31 out of my junkpile for a spare and I'm in business.

 

[RUCKUS]

sounds great! let me know how you get along with them, i am more than pleased with mine so far.

Can I talk you into posting a couple pictures of them? A couple of close ups of the seams and tread please. I am looking into picking up 2 to match my own. Also can you specify what brand carcass you want used?

 

[fordexploder_96]

yeah some mounted pics would be awsome.

 

[dirtnap]

I'll try to get pics up tomorrow, I'm not sure you can specify the carcasses you get, but I can tell you that the inside of mine looked new, the outsides look great, now I need to get around to fixing the Tcase motor, swapping in manual hubs, and a handfull of suspension mods,and I'll be trail ready.

 

[RUCKUS]

the salesman told me that you can specify the carcasses you want but you might have to wait sometimes if they don`t have that carcass in a certain size but the tread is specific to each size. that was what he told me anyways.

 

[Shen2187]

Yeah you can tell them whether you want matching carcasses or not. Which they usually try to do anyway, but if you don't specifically say, then they'll go with what they have. So unless you specify you might get 3 BFG and 1 Goodyear, etc.

 

[dirtnap]

here's the best I could do with my crappu cameraphone, it really doesn't do them justice

 

[eXcali]

that actually looks pretty good, would take a pro to tell they are retreads. Well aside from yours not having the BFG treads. I am definately going to pick up 2 of their BFG retreads as soon as I can.
