Gonna get them installed on the 17th of this month.

I think they're a great tire, especially the Kevlar sidewalls. If they offered them in a 33x10.5, I would most likely buy a set.

I ran mine at 5 psi and the sidewalls didn't have very much flex. If you wheel on wet rock thus is a good choice for a tire. If your Jeep is a mall crawler that sees only 10% or less off road then this is the tire for you.

Are you sure about that? I recall seeing pics of your jeep at the mall on ojo :rofl: :flipoff:

Yes i have. Its comparable to the goodyear for me. Kevlar sidewalls have the edge to me over the coopers. I need a tough sidewall for my needs in a mt. What i use my jeep for is diffrent than alot of other people. Hitting the ohv park and a dd is second to what i use my jeep for.

There are many who wheel JV (big rocks), run successfully with the Goodyear MTR Kevlars :thumb:

Yes chris there re-tread's. We all gotta start somwhere. To each there own and build your jeep the way it works for you. I wount laugh at you. I loose respect for people who dog me for they way i build my jeep to fit my lifestyle.
I live 4 blocks from work so not allot of miles get logged in the Jeep. Plus these tires come with all sorts of shit talking and joke potential. It's a win win. !

i have ran my MTR's in the mud and rock and have had no issues yet, its mostly down to personal preference but i do agree about the sidewalls being to deep, i want the old hummer tires in 35's

Follow me down the crusher when its wet and then tell me you have no issues on the rocks. Running the kevlars at 5 psi I had to use my lockers more then I wanted compaired to other tires I ran.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you consider BFG KM2s? I like them and I think their lug pattern and soft compound (much softer, compared to the original KM1s) should do well on wet and dry rocks. I had mine siped and they also do well on asphalt :).

I just put on a set of guard dogs last weekend. I'm happy with them. What size did you go with. I bought some 16 rims and went with 285/75/16s.
Very nice ! I went with the 315/70/17 (34.5's). I like the look of the stock wheels so it worked out well. Looks like you got a nicer sidewall grip on the 16's though. I'm going wheeling at Browns Camp this weekend so I'm excited to see how they do after my Duratracs.

If your looking to regear I charge $200 labor per axle. I typical regear would about $900 for both axle. That includes gears, minor install kits and labor. Cost more if new carriers ate need or you want a full case locker installed.
