tire brands?

[extra-medium]

I have thr general grabber at2's and they are decent. They spin a little from a stop in the rain when I turn, but my driveway is sand/dirt and they like to dig. They are pretty much a cheaper alternative to the bfg at's

I agree with Eric m. Good mud tires usually have wide voids in the thread. Not ideal for wet asphalt. Just use a little less skinny pedal when it's raining.

my main concern is fairly deep mud and wet road traction because my old yj doesnt have antilock brakes, maybe that will help narrow out a brand. thanks

Another option for you would be to get a second set of wheels and that way you could have a nice running street tire with good on road manners and also an aggressive mud tire for off road use. Because generally speaking deep mud + all terain tires= stuck.

i hope one day to get another set of wheels and tires to be able to swap back an forth with but right now money is tight especially with gas prices, im sure thats hurting a lot of ppl on here too.. i'm considering going with the grabber at2's does anyone know how well they do in wet weather

I love MasterCraft tires.
I run the Courser C/T and have never had any problem.

Trust me I know all about living on a shoestring budget (I'm a single father and between bills and my exwife I almost don't even have a paycheck). But if your thinking about moderate offroad use i'd still try and steer you towards the dura-trac's. They also aren't bad on wet pavement (ie: standing water is a nonissue). Plus they are a light tire for what they are...meaning they won't take as much fuel to turn as some of the heavier tires out there.

alright i've picked two,,,,, what would yall recomend based on previous experiences. BRIDGESTONE DUELER AT REVO2 or GENERAL TIRE GRABBER AT2
as of right now im leaning towards the at2 cause their cheaper, although the at REvo seems to have good wet traction and decent ofroad but less treadlife than at2

Generals. Sir

Generals. Sir

What size are you going with? I recommend the generals because i have a couple of them, but if you go with an out of the ordinary size they might be back-ordered.

i'll probably just go with 30x9.5x15 although i can also fit 31x10.5x15's

For the price of a 31" General Grabber A/T'2, I would go with the Goodyear Wrangler Dura-Trec. They have a more aggressive tread pattern, and they have more shoulder grip than the Generals, plus they might be a little cheaper. Discount Tire's website says a 31" Goodyear is $25 cheaper than the General.

and those dura tracs are great tires

I guess the prices in my area are weird, but if you go to Home - Discount Tire Direct you can get the tires for a little cheaper with free shipping. There the General Grabber A/T'2 are a lot cheaper.

Here is my 2 cents from the trucks I run in the oil and gas feilds for reference we run 40 mile a day one way on pavement then shale rock and mud, dirt,or snow depending on weather roads for about the same. falken wild peak a.t.(we have the rockey mountain edition at our local discount tire) worked awesome,have a 50,000 mile warrent and will suprise you for such a mild looking tread pattern,wrangler dura tracs a great choice as well, severe snow rated and studdable if it matters where you live they were great under a light wieght rig but they were wandering really bad under our ford one-tons kind of like steering a boat sidewalls seemed a little thin too. I also like baja atz if you run them under a solid front axle,they feathered really bad under out I.F.S. chevys.hope this helps.

jeepjeep, someone is selling a set just like that for 200 here also. all 5 too
