Help with a 42 inch tire

[America.Mike]

Have you considered the 42” Maxxis Trepador?? A bunch of guys up here have gone to them . They work awesome and really seem to hold up .

I got to see them work on Fred Williams Alaska Army Truck and was very impressed .


They seem to run down the road at speed very well and are actually round unlike Interco Tires.

That is a sweet tire

Since you said you will be on the street some, I voted for the pitbull radial. If you weren't going to do much street driving, my 2nd choice is the SX II. I had 42" TSL on my trail rig and I really liked them. It saw no street time though. The SXII wasn't available in a 42 at the time, otherwise I would have gotten that instead

My friend just switched from the pitbulls to the TSL/SX stickies (can't remember if they're 40s or 42s). He said they are the single best modification he's ever made to his rock crawler! And he's referring to a 77 Bronco that's propane injected, narrowed, caged, 3 spd t-case, and linked on Unimog axles.

Stickies would not be a good choice here.

But stickies wear down fast, right?

I sure hope ANY sticky performs better than a non sticky.

Depends, stickies only help on hard surfaces. In soft dirt, sand, and mud, stickies would be waisted.

50% off code still good? Can you share?

Looks like its actually 60% off lol

I have a local friend that bought some Pitbull with the 50% discount last fall, it was a no b/s deal and the tires came within a couple of weeks.

How do they ever sell them at full price? I’d be super pissed to pay full and then 60% offered later.

 

[nvrenuf]

I don’t think they do, those 50-60% sales have been running pretty steady for the last couple of years.

I prefer the more aggressive Swamper patterns but it’s hard to knock a big radial that’s half the Interco price.

Cause they suck so bad they have to be cheap af to buy them lol

Maxxis makes a 40” radial iirc it’s the RZR model. I’ve been looking at them in 37” flavor
