Tire opinions Truxus Mt anyone?

timido · 08-25-2012, 11:19 PM

Not a daily driver but I dont have a trailer anymore. I have been googling tires to death. I keep coming up with the truxus mt being a good all around tire mud rocks snow and on the street. Anyone have any experience with this tire? I have been kind of looking at pitbull radials also but they are alot heavier. 35"12.5x 15 rubicon 44s .

Guy i used to work with has some in a 31x10.5 flavor on his Cherokee. they worked well in the snow when newer, but the siping in the tread is only about 1/4" deep so once it was worn away it was like any other MT tire really. he didn't wheel much, but i know on the street he got about 25k-30k on a daily driver. for general purpose MT type tire they did pretty well over all.

I had a set of 285/75/16's Trxus M/T's on a FSJ for a couple of thousand miles. The worked really well in the limited time I had them.

I have had good luck with the house brand tire a Pep Boys- the Dakota Definity M/T. It is a heavily siped M/T that works well on pavement, wet pavement, snow, ice and actually in mud! They are not overly expensive either. Made by Cooper. I put 40,000 on them and although their off-road ability was down by then they had decent tread left. Not sure if they come as big as you want them but I have heard good things about the Fierce Attitude M/T as well.

I had a set on my wrangler. They were fine except in the mud. Treet , rocks, general trail use , I liked them.

Not much off-road experience as I had a set on my daily driver Chevy 2500HD. Got a really good deal on a set from a friend with connections, but they were not good if most driving is on the road. Doubt I got 20,000 miles out of them and that was with regular rotations and mostly highway driving with an empty truck. Actually went through 6 tires as I got another pair through a trade for some stock street tires. Not kidding, I could go on a 200 mile highway trip and visually notice the difference in tread wear through the first 50% or so of tread, after wearing past the sipes it slowed down.

They did great in the snow when newer and were not that loud (I've ran several sets of BFG Muds, Goodyear MT/R's, Swamper bias, etc... on daily drivers in the past for comparison).

Can't really give a good review of them in the mud as the previous tires on the truck were the stock street treads (and I mean street tires, not even the so called all-terrains you can get as an option on stock trucks). Had it stuck a couple of times but that was pulling an 8,500 lb. trailer up a hill in mud and grass.

Had a buddy that had them on a DD F150..worked OK and didn't last for crap.

Put these with the rest of the radial Interco tires that look good but don't perform or last.

Not to make this a "what tire I like better than a Interco radial" thread but I've had great luck with BFG MT's..MTR's...and now with Micky MTZ's..all are way better than the TSL radial and SSR's I've ran in the past.
