Do they have something interesting that would fit the narrow steel rims? -Dai | ||

Rancher Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: 460 Tires I put goodyear MTR 31" on my 300GD and could not be happier!! http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techarticles/mud_tires_tested/ Goodyear MTR The newest addition to the Goodyear line is the MTR, introduced two years ago on the Rubicon. While we continue to be impressed with them in rocks, this was the first time we really got to check ’em out in the mud. The 12.50 section width was smaller than the Swampers and such but comparable to the other tires of the same size. The new tread pattern really showed its stuff on launch, where the Jeep nearly pulled the front tires off the ground. These tires launched the hardest by far. While screaming through the mud the MTRs exhibited great steering ability, even though the flotation department noted that they were pretty average. As far as self-cleaning, these tires did that in an above-average manner, contributing to a distance mark of 63 feet 9 inches, even better than the Swamper TSLs. What’s more, the trip back to the garage proved that these tires work great on the two-by section while going uphill in the slime. | ||
