Ha! Another tires thread - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I need new tires for my heep. 4.0 with 4.56s and I need something in the 35-36" range because I still have my POS dana 30.

This is my DD but I do less than 20 miles of driving a day. I mostly wheel Rubicon-ish terrain

What do you guys think I should run:

Thanks!

I like the MTR's but I also like the IROK's but for street use too I would say go with the MTR. IMHO the MTR's are better on the street.

I'm running 35" MT/Rs and love them.Nice, strong sidewalls.

the 36 irock actually measures taller than 37

The MTR's are the most compatiable with the D30. Still quite a bit of tire for a 30 depending on your driving style.

I believe the Interco's have more mass, which would not be good for a 30.

I like the 35 MTR's I had on my Cj-5.

The Toyo 35 MT's might also be worth considering.

Out of the three choices you have I would have to say MT/R, as 36" iroks in either flavor are two much tire for a dana 30 in my opinion.

I would personally go for a more aggresive 35" radial

I'm actually looking at 37"s now and hopefully picking up a 44 or a 6 in the near future
