new to me for winter

Old school 35 MTRs, lightly worn. Rinse and repeat...

nice

I remember when the Goodyear MTRs were directional and I remember when that tread design came out
Had a set of directionals on the Cherokee for a couple years, got them used. I traded my spare Lock-Right locker for them and ran 'em until they were slicks

Nice!

Be aware that some tire shops may not mount them depending on their date code.

But they were good tires for their day.

This will not be an issue. Fortunately, these tires have spent a lot of time in a closed garage. They are good noisy tires after some wear.

The new Kevlar MTR's are semi-directional; the all terrain section of the tread must be mounted toward the outside.

More like these


I guess I meant MT instead of MTR. I'm more of a BF Goodrich fan myself.

The BFG MTs are soft and wear down faster than any of the older Goodyear MTRs. Probably makes them OK for trail use. I like the ATs for wear but not so much for the MTs.

Everything wears down fast here. The asphalt literally melts your tires as you drive

I drive 40 miles a day five days a week on a hilly, curvy chip sealed road. It is the honey badger of tire eaters.

BFG's are also WAY under sized. A friend just replaced his 37" BFT KM2's for a set of Maxxis tires. The BFG's only measured 35.6" tall. The Maxxis were 36.6" tall. I have noticed the same thing with 33's. Almost always an inch or so smaller than other tires of the same size.

Agree on the BFGs. Running 33x12.50s on my CJ and they measure 32-32 1/4 x 12 at 30 psi.

Must be why BFG's ALWAYS fit.
