Mastercraft coursers or Cooper Discoverer

That is what I will be aiming towards when i replace the tires on the 2500.
I have the Mastercraft Courser C/T on the Wrangler which has now been assigned daily driver duty.

I love my Dayton, Timberline A/T's and M/t's.

[fordman00]

my buddy has the timberline a/t and the tread doesnt look that aggressive.it may be me but how are they offroad because i do tend to go on old logging roads in kent. and here at school and farm fields so i want something with decent wear on them to that will last longer than 20000 miles which the set i have now have not.

[Hope Springs Hauler]

For a street driven vehicle, I would steer away from the Dayton M/T's. My experience is that they wear like iron but they are LOUD. I thought that I was gonna jump out of my truck:(

[fordman00]

yeah.i am trying to stay away from a m/t.i do want something with aggresive tread though but decent tire wear and even to last over 40000 miles.

BFG A/T KO's

I've been selling them/running them for 6 years now and they out perform and out last damn near every A/T on the market. 3 Ply sidewalls for extra protection aired down and you can get them in 8 or 10 ply in most sizes. They do well on and off road and are very quiet for an aggressive tire. I've run them on my Cherokee and have ran the KM M/T and now run the KM2 M/T on my TJ now and love them. My average customer gets 40-50k + out of the A/T's depending on rotations and keeping the vehicle in proper alignment.

I also sell Toyo Open Country A/T, American Prospector A/T (Cooper), Kumho has a very nice SAT KL61,Michelin has there new LTX A/T 2, **** Cepek FC2 and Mickey Thompson's ATZ.

Let me know (PM) if I can help out with anyone needing tires or wheels. I carry lift's and performance parts/upgrades and install them too. Mention this post for 10% off :beers:

I can get a hell of a deal on nokian vatiiva at's. Just shoot me a size. Had them on my old blazer and loved them. They are rated at 55000 miles and handle really well on the road and amazing in snow and ice.

hankook makes a pretty sweet tire, that isn't too salty.

[fordman00]

ok thanks for all the help guys.im going to do some research this weekend and decide.i was looking at the general grabbers 2's and mastercraft courser, the only problem with the bfg's are there a lil' pricey and im in college.lol. but i will look at every option and let you guys know if ill need a supplier. thanks a lot.
