Well the Tires came in yesterday and i had them installed today...

all i can say is WOW...the lugs are gigantic compared to the MT/R's and are exactly an inch deep......rubber is very soft..also has the rim bead protector..which is excellent for keeping the rocks off the rims

here they are in the flesh...35x13.50 Krawlers on 15x8 Aluminum Rims

here you can see it is significantly wider

this picture shows the comparisson to the size of a 33 inch MT/R

Looks awesome dude!

Get a good deal on them?

Kickass!!! Looks good...:D

nice:cool:

how do they drive on the street?

also, i was wondering ifyou had more pics of your tube fenders, im thinking of building something similar

Cool...those are 8" wheels right?

What is the circumfurance of the tire on an 8?

Thanks

That Dana 30 isn't going to like those Krawlers.

Are you rich?

Cuz those are gona ware fast!!!

i only drove them for about 25 miles so far

so far they are quiet

i took them down to 25psi..that's what i plan to run them for street pressure

as far as the fenders..

In the last picture, with the tape measure, is the Krawler mounted up on the Jeep, with the weight of the Jeep on the tire?
If so, then that is not a very good comparison of tire heights.
The two tires mounted on to the same rims and with out the weight of a vehicle sitting on them would be much more accurate.
Buying Krawlers seems like a pretty poor investment considering the level of build up of your Jeep. There are plenty of tires that will last you A LOT longer, would have been A LOT cheaper, and would give you enough performance to make you happy off road.:rolleyes: I would look into buying Krawlers when you NEED them, not just because they are the cool competition tire at the moment.

How many people have accually run Krawlers?? How does everyone know there are going to wear out really quick. Everyone that I have heard of REALLY running them says they don't wear out THAT fast!

I think the Krawlers look great, are great performers, and where a sweet choice!

Robert,I wonder what jeepik would do without your guidance/opinion? I'll bet he feels really bad that he has got them on his Jeep. It's too bad he didn't see things in your light.

thanks for letting me know how i should build my Jeep and how i should wheel it...

nice, you should keep the MTRs for street use!
i have heard that the don't ware that bad tho

i'm sure he's gonna change everything on his jeep because of your opinion.

boo hoo.

tires look good - would look even better if i had em!!:flipoff2:

They don't wear fast. In fact they wear great. Jason Paule was telling me the BFG rep has a set on his hummer and has 25k on the krawlers with rubber still left.

Another kid around here has them on his toy and the tires show no signs of wear after 10k on them.

And you can actually get them from a decent price by buying used.

Damn! Those look sweet! I just can't decide if I want to spend that much on the tires!!!!! grrrrrr

Damn those look great; did they balance well?

well two tires didnt need wieghts at all and the other two needed little weight on the inside..that's pretty amazing


the MT/R's had three times as many weights needed to balance right

Just putting out my opinion. Seems really stupid to put such high dollar tires on a mildly built rig. Kind of like they were put on just because they are cool. That kind of shit looks good over at JU, but looks really stupid on PBB.
But whatever, its your money. Just don't be blocking my line on the trail when your D30 blows.

Your attitude makes you need to go back to JU...he just posted some pics, never said a word about anything. You think you need a fucking D60 and a tube rig for krawlers or something.

Thats funny considering that I have been to JU once, several years ago.
And yes, I do think it would be much more appropriate to run Krawlers on a well built rig with upgraded axles, drivetrain and suspension.
Not saying this guy can't run them, that is his choice. But I do think it is pretty stupid to spend that much money on tires for a lightly built rig.

first of all the tires cost me 50 bucks more/each then an equivalent size MT/R or Swamper would cost...that doesnt make them that much more expensive.

second of all, i think you need to get yourself over your obvioius Jealousy complex and go buy some krawlers, becuase they arent that expensive

fawk that
my 30 held up just fine on 35's for 2 yrs on some of the toughest runs in AZ.

and now i threw 37's at it:flipoff2:

Man, I really don't like the attitude on this board anymore.... This guy just got some new tires, wanted to show em off, and you slam him, because in YOUR opinion their a waste of money. I am sure that you have NEVER made a bad purchase or fab job on YOUR jeep, but lighten the hell up!! Hes proud of his tires and he should be. Oh and for the Dana 30, yes I upgraded to a 44, but I ran 35's on my 30 and for all the crap it gets, its not THAT horrible.

If you don't like the tires, thats cool, but keep it to yourself.

To the guy that bought the tires, right on!! I went from 31x10.50 to 35 12.50 BFG muds and everybody told me that was a waste of money, boy were they F*ing wrong!

Hope they wheel well for ya!! But in all fairness have you though of a cj front clip to rid yourself of those hideous square lights??? Just kidding!!:rolleyes:

So if Jason Bunch threw Krawlers on his '89 YJ, which btw has a heavily modified D30 with the ARB 30/30 and a rear D44, then it would be a waste?:rolleyes:

It's not the board's overall attitude, its some individuals'. If the man has the cash and feels he wants Krawlers, then he'll get Krawlers. That's the whole purpose for making them available to the average Joe.

I never said I did not like the tires. Krawlers are a sweet tire - for the gonzo, try any line, I can break anything, go anywhere and I have a shit load of money kind of crowd. And if this guy thinks that will best help him out in his wheeling abilities, then so be it. Good for him. Congratulations on your purchase.
:rolleyes:

I really think Krawlers are great for competition rigs with tire sponsors. But for $300 a tire, I would be crying if I cut a sidewall on the trail and had to buy another out of my own pocket. And I sure as hell would not waste them away with road driving.

And although I dont agree with Robert, and none of us know how this guy wheels, most of you know that if you saw some dude cruisin around in a seemingly stock jeep w/ d30 then you would make some smartass "mall crawler" comment. Since when was this a politically correct BB?:rolleyes:

Krawlers are a kick ass tire but did you say the same thing to people pimpin MTR's when they 1st came out. They were a very $$$ tire. Well he probably is in college at VT and doenst drive a shit load anyway. I see no problem with how he spends his money as long as he knows what he is getting into.

Is there some particular reason you assume he doesn't have the knowledge/ability to repair his Krawlers?

I guess this comment of yours sums up your opinion about where these tires belong.

Does your rig have a single modification that a sponsor would ever use?

This would have been a good thread without Robert in it.

Actually been here MUCH f*ing longer than a month, but I got sick of this attitude and left before. I came back, wanted to give it another fair shot because their is a wealth of info on this board, but I hate digging through all the pissing matches to get at it.

So in retrospect, I guess I should have left well enough alone, and kept to tinkering on my jeep without looking to this board for good, honest helpful advice.

I guess since I rereged under a new name and only have a couple of posts, I am just a FNG, so what the hells it matter!? :mad: :mad:

Don't be "that guy" Robert :flipoff2:
Now if I could only get Krawlers in a 39.5 :D

I think Roberts got a tinge of green envy on his shoulders. Seems to me that you don't know Jeepik, you don't know his wheelin style, and you don't know his reasons behind buying the tires, Yet you still come out swinging, like you're some sort of badass wheeler that knows whats best for everyone, when in fact, YOU DON'T. Not everyone wheels in the same places you do... And to say that his jeep is stock is funny... So he's got a D30 up front, but do you know what the rest of his rig consists of? If you don't, then shut the hell up.

Maybe you should not read so much into what I type. I am no final authority on four wheeling, just another average Jeeper like most people on PBB. I am not in the industry, nor am I a competitor. I scrape together enough money to go wheeling a couple times a month. So I plan out my purchases properly. So if I had a mildly built YJ, still running the stock axles, and $2000 to spend on it, I would be scrounging the Pick and Pulls for a new set of axles. Not spending it on tires that increase the chances of destroying the stock axles. Just my opinion.

And how smart would it be for him to be driving around on the highway with a big tear in his sidewall that he repaired. Once again, I have no clue how the guy wheels, and now that he's got krawlers..I hope, and Im sure hes gonna wheel the hell outta them. But shit people quit being so whiney

Seriously, I wheel my locked d30 pretty hard and haven't broken anything on it...ever. :p

Anyway dude. Your Krawlers look good. The only way they would look better is if they were bigger, but then we would have to talk about the D30..;)

Nice tires dude! I don't think you'll have to worry about them that much since somebody else on this board is running them on his Ram CTD. What did you pay for them if you don't mind, I know I have seen them for about $220, wondering if there are better deals out there.

Man I'm tired...;) I wanted to read this thread in the first place to see how he personally liked his Crawlers; all every one got out of it was a rash of crap...
Ya know, any axel can break with any size tire you run no matter what you pay for it... The only two types of tires I like are MTR's and Crawlers. I've run 35" MTR's for the past 2 years. The only time I broke my D30 was in the little Sluice, both times... the first time was at night. The second time was on a cheep spare backing up and turning out of a wedge. I wheeled fairly hard for 5 years on those axels. I'm surprised they lasted the last 2 years; I believe they went cause my ball joints were really worn out. I'm surprised my knuckles didn't break off at times too. I have upgraded to a tera 60crd and D44 W/ warn-ctm's 37X17 Crawlers I haven't been out yet but I hope to soon.
So the question I have here is do you enjoy your new tires? Give us what you like about them.

well i have only driven on them for about 20-25 miles from the tire mounting shop..so i cant really give you trail results just yet

preliminary thoughts and speculations are

pros:

balanced extremely well
rim protector(very handy)
very deep tread lugs
nice soft rubber
VERY thick 4 ply sidewalls
nice sidewall tread lugs

cons.

pretty heavy tire

Agreed... While they ain't gonna get 60k on them, they wear better than say, a Swamper...

I don't think MTR's wear that good. If the Krawlers are equal, and work better on the rocks like they seem too. Why not run them? I'd like to see the price come down some. Maybe by the time I wear out my MTR's. I'll think about some Krawlers.

Really? Call me crazy, but I think my MTR's are wearing just fine. Ive got about 40k miles on them, with 13/32nds tread on them still... I think I'll get 60k out of em, no problem.

i had a tad over 30,000 miles on my MT/R's and they had half the tread left

You guys are doing good with your MTR's. I'm not a good example of getting good milage out of tires. I live in the mountains, and your always in a turn here. Plus the roads seem to be more abrasive than normal roads.

You can't get any kind of tire wear warranty here. Even street tires.

In snow the Krawlers are comparable to a Swamper. Not the best, but they work ok.

I live in Cedar Glen, Ca, in the san bernardino mountain range, so I know exactly what you are talking about.. and I drive up and down our curvy mountain every day... And Im still getting good mileage out of my MTR's.. Id check your pressures.

EDIT: Didn't realize you lived in big bear... I live in Cedar Glen... So we probably drive close to the same roads :rolleyes:

I encourage every newbie or blinger to purchase tires that are expensive, in order to drive down the cost. Keep on purchasing this excellent tire:flipoff2:

White letters? I wouldn't buy tires that had those, and if I did i'd paint them black, and put them on the inside. Come to think of it. I don't even like the tires clean.

I would sneak out the back door with that question.

Well, I hate to change the pissing match to more useful info, Jeepik, how do they wheel? That is what the board is all about anyhow, right?

I would like to know how they run as I want to run them on my 84 full-size bronco.

Just to piss some people off, maybe I will swap out my D44 - Ford 9 combo to a D30 - D35 combo!! :flipoff2:

I do some heavy rocking in that and want to know what they are like off-road.

Have a nice day!

He said he only has 25 miles on them, so we have to wait for an answer. I've got a buddy who has 37" Krawlers on a YJ, and he said they are good on the street. As good as MTR's anyway. Offroad they kick ass, but we all know that already.

needs more chrome

I just mounted up my 37" Krawlers yesterday. They are no louder than my MTR's and should wear nicely. I have a friend who has been running the 37's for a while now. He has 7K on them and has lost about 10-15% of tread...his were 1/8" off from mine. I didn't balance them and I'm not sure I will. I dove them around today and they seem fine on the road.

Nice looking rig!

NIce tires and nice rig too. Can't wait till I get some when the price comes down, hopefullly it will!!!!

crawlers are goin to be the next tires on my rig if i can afford them. good looking rig and congrats on the tires man

Looks good man.
I like you rig, it looks like you have done alot of work to it, it reminds me of my first rig (YJ SOA with STOCK axles and brand new tires) and I wheeled the shit out of that thing, ran the box at least twice a month, once pulling a 1000lb trailer, and oddley enough NEVER broke an axle rockcrawling(snow and mud are a different story;) ).

The axle you run does not make you hardcore, your driving skills do.:mad:

Fuck what anyone thinks and enjoy your rig.

PS Those tires kick ass! I had the pleasure of seeing them unmounted next to a set of unmounted MTR's and WOW what a difference!

thanks for the kind words guys.

i have no trail report as of yet :) i did drive the Jeep on the highway up to 75mph last night...the Krawlers are not loud at all...no noticable tire wear yet...they have about a 100miles on them now :)

Bottom line Dmitry.. Its your jeep, your money spent, and you know the type of wheelin you wanna do, so fawk the naysayers. :D

Yup Krawlers are definatly bad ass. They convinced me to go from a 40 to a 37

i dunno they are doing so well on the street, i might have to bring the Jeep back out of daily driver retirement, and put the daily driver on blocks :D

Those are some sick tires man! Very $$$$$$, wish I could afford them!

How are they in the Mud?

Dude...you live in Va. and Md. Now I do question the fact that you do actually wheel. Or did you just say that to be cool?

39.5 Krawlers, but they won't be avaliuable for a while.

Bringin an old thread back to life, I guess, but just wanting an update on how the Krawlers are doing with road wear? (I'm still one of those guys that has to drive his rig everyday ;)) Thanks!

I'm right there with ya Mac...

My heep is gettin 35s sometime between now and August(I know it's a long time frame, but it'd dependant on $$ just like everyone else), and I can't decide what tire to run.

BTW, for those that doubt the fact that Dmitri wheels, I have seen him on a trail when he was still at Virginia Tech, but it was a muddy trail :flipoff2: :p :flipoff2:

So If I posted my Nice shiny Bone stock XJ with 30" Krawlers... nobody was going to flame me on this??:rolleyes: Give me a fawkin brake.

as much as I hate to admit, robert has a point to some extent even though he made his point trough being an a$$. you rag on the guy because he gave his opinion, last time I checked this was a tech board. you say "all he did is post pics he didnt even say anything". Well my friend he posted in tech board. he will get somebodys opinion sooner or later, if didnt want any opinions he should of taken his pics to chit-chat.

Is it my money? No. its not. Can I tell him to how to spend his money? No I cant. Can I give my opinion on how to spend his money? most definatly. Is it money well spent? No its not. instead buying those tires... You should of invested your money on a 4:1 kit I think that would help you out a bit more than the Krawlers. or upgrade your lockers... the EZ locker and the lockright are ok but there are better.

All we're trying to say is there are things out there you can buy for your rig right now that can help you out much more than those Krawlers.

But anyway nice tires hope you enjoy them while they last

GOOD LORD, you really are a flaming fawk...Mac brought this back to the top for an update on the tires and how Dmitri liked them, not to restart the flame fest that had already put itself out. I think everyone got it out of their system, so just let it be :mad3:

I haven't yet !!

I run 36" TSL's on my 30.... I even wheeled on them..... TWICE So fuck you, and you, and you, and...... :flipoff2:

Sooo....Anyway...Back to the subject at hand, how are they holding up on road? :)


PS - Thanks Arya ;)

I don't see why anyone is giving anyone opinions on what he should buy or shouldn't. Not everyone can afford to put everything they want on all at once. Maybe this is just part of the next line of modifications. Maybe he DOES have a Detroit on the way, or even a 4:1 kit or even Atlas. And even if he doesn't...does that mean he can only get the BFG Muds because he doesn't wheel it hardcore, or doesn't have a totally fabbed rig. If that were true then BFG and Interco would both be out of business. I for one would LOVE to have a set of Krawlers, and I haven't even been to Moab once. I guess that I have to get a subwoofer before I get a better CD player, since it would do better with it. Some of these guys are just pathetic...Can't we all just get a job at Napa and know everything?

Jesus how bout a waburger and some french cries guys. I've got about 5k miles on my tj with the 37s and I can't tell from just looking at them that they have worn at all tread depth wise. They are chunking a little more than expected, but that's not just from road wear. I understand the 35 tread pattern is different though (like the 39s) so they may wear a lil different.

Because buying big-ass expensive tires without upgrading anything else or actually wheeling is what show trucks and mall crawlers do...possibly you havent noticed that that isn't what this site is about? :rolleyes:

Maybe it has to do with the type of terrain he wheels on?...


ALot of guys out here in the west (cali) and in AZ can make a D30 specially a Reverse D30 (which his YJ has) live quite a while.

We Dont rely on wheel spin or the stupid pedal to get up stuff, just a really sticky set of tires..

now if he is on the east coast and need to attack hills at full throttle then he may have a problem, but the HPD30 will hold up pretty well, it is EVERY bit as strong in the RP department as a low pinion D44 is, and I see alot of guys running those.


Just because you have to put over weight huge 1 ton axles on your pig to make them survive because you drive like a nascar driver, doesnt mean he has to.. maybe he wants to keep his rig light?

I run 35" MTRS on a HPd30 on a v8 equipped ZJ, which is ALOT heavier than the YJ he is running, and I havent had any problems, the only mods to the D30 are ARB and Full snap ringed 760 joints.. You just have to be a little more carefull in you skinny pedal control.... geez....

lighten up:flipoff2:

I only drove it extensively last weekend when we had a snow storm here...they did absolutely awesome in the slush, and snow powder on the road

I only have around 500 miles on them if that( the little hairs on the tread are still there)

I am very new to the board I have read enough to see there are alot of a-holes on this forum for sure, I think your jeep looks great with the crawlers my man, if you can afford them why not run them. I am also considering them for my TJ I have 33 swampers now but they are just to damb small. Don't let the a$$'s get to ya, seams there are alot of them here but I see there are alot of good peeps too. Personaly I never realized how many bad mannered a-holes drive jeeps I have never ran into any of these guys in the woods in 15+ yaers of jeepin, makes ya wonder if there just keyboard wannabees. Take it easy dude.

you like rammstein? :D

Man if you dont think good tires are not money well spent you are fawkin dumb, tires are one of the most important parts to any vehicle, WAY more important than low gears or lockers. :shaking:

What good would having a 4-1 kit do if you cant wheel cause your tires have holes in the sidewall or are bald( in that case wheelspin is your friend and low gears would actually hinder you)

And for your locker comment, why would a full detroit work better than a lock-right? They both lock the axles together the same, I've had and used both of them and the only difference is one is stronger, but if you have a lock-right allready and its workin fine why would you upgrade to a detroit instead of replacing your bald tires?:clown:

Obviously he needed tires and bought good tires, GET THE FAWK OVER IT!:rolleyes:

Preach on brother man...A voice of reason from the crowd of insane.
