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 · 01-21-2010, 08:36 PM

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.

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 · 01-21-2010, 09:30 PM

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.

nitto terra grapplers

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

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 · 01-22-2010, 10:16 AM
