35x12.5R15 MT Help!

[BillyBob]

If ya'll haven't read on the ORC board, I'm going to be getting 35x12.5 MTs in the near future. My only problem is deciding which ones.. I'm looking for something with quite a thick sidewall and pretty durable for around $160 a tire. I've been thinking on getting BFG MTs, or General Grabber MTs. Can anyone reccomend any tire companines for me?

Check with National Tire they had the cheapest tires around for the last two sets I bought. Personally I prefer 36X12.5X15 Interco TSL Swampers for wheeling and then I have a set of Cavalier Mud kings on white spoke steel rims for everyday driving. Nothing beats the TSL bias-ply tire for a good all around tire (8 ply sidewall) except for their bad behavior on wet asphalt. The middle lugs should always be siped on Swampers though. Anyway just my $.02.

I have the 35"x12.5" General Grabber MT's on my Jimmy. They have been on the truck for almost 3 years now and I think they are way better than the BFG's they replaced. Awesome traction off road and they seem to have decent manners on the street (for a mud tire). They also wear pretty good, I have at least 30,000 miles on them and I figure I'll get at least another year out of them. I drive mine daily, tow a 21' trailer every summer and wheel it every chance I get.

I just baught a new set of tires about 8 months ago. Because the old ones were shot(BFG M/T) great tires 35x12.5x15's. The only problem I had with them was when I was off road and blew a tire they (DIscount Tire) wouldn't replace them due to it being off road, when I blew one on the freeway they wanted about $40 to replace it useing my warrenty that I baught with the tires. This time I went back to the Big O tires Big Foot X/T 35X12.5x15 they have done great except when I went over a steel stake out 4xn', took it back and told them what happened. 20 min later there was a new tire on the truck. Tires were $190.00 a piece. Saved that with the first replacement.

I 've been very happy with the BFG's 3 years now, 40K miles.

C'Moe, You told Discount you were offroading with it? I had 2 side wall punctures (same trip

), took em back to Discount, and asked if they could fix em. They said they couldn't be repaired, and replaced em. They did charge me for mount/balance though. Do you think different stores in a different location may interpret the warranty thing different than others? Just curious, Moved here from NM a few months ago.

If your looking for a good sidewall NOTHING will top the new Goodyear MT/R's. I always thought the BFG had the worst sidewalls

How dare you go off-road with a "mud-terrain" tire.LOL.

The BFG's are very popular in our club and I had 2 sets myself with no problems.
