I'm really not worried about the price on em. Just want good traction in most terrain and hopefully an aggressive look in the process. Sold one of my projects so the other ones will get love much sooner lol. And more for each of them when they do.

TIRES.... whats best. (quick gears question)

Toyo MT's
Or Mickey Thompson MTZ's

Cooper STT Pro, I love them. Seen a set of 40" Coopers on a Jeep the other day. Big ass tires. $527 on Discount, plus I believe Cooper tires are made in the USA.
Don't assume an Interco is round just because it's radial. I have never tried the radial IROK, but I've run a couple sets of SSRs and have radial TSLs. Best ones I've had were almost 1/4" out. Smoother running than the bias versions for sure, but not like a "normal" radial from the major manufacturers. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe since the IROKs are newer they are using some better process.
I balanced them with airsoft BBs.
I only had an issue at low speeds about 25-30 and down. So that was probably all my issue was. At higher speeds I never had any issues at all. Rode smooth, no vibration, etc. But at low speeds a small bump would throw it into deathwobble. Front end was all rebuilt and re springed. Didn't matter.
Wasn't until they were off and replaced that I thought maybe it was them BBs getting out of whack. But I'd rather have radials if I'm going to buy more is all.

if you were closer I would sell you a set; brand new with tags and replacement certs
Nittos outperform all day long for the same price.
That’s an all terrain tire. Look at the trail grappler.
A lot of the MT tires are probably good tires. But for some reason 90% of them look like they belong on brodozers or something.... No idea why. But that's how they look to me
Big rims and rubber band tires are brodozer IMO.
Half or more of the Ultra 4 rigs are on Nitto Trail Grapplers. I beat on mine pretty good and drive to and from the trail on them.
Tires can be so subjective, and vehicle/driver dependent.
Weigh in availability and true size. So much boils down to street time and what you want to live with on the street. With that said you can make bias ply tires do well on the street, such as my 42" treps. But when it rains I've got to back the truck way down... Rob once watched me hit a band of rain at about 70mph and the whole truck started skating at an angle down the road, my lugs were pretty wore though.
I've watched Treps, reds, nittos, SX, mt, goodyear, STT, hankook all do well. Those are just the ones I've seen and can remember.
With your first post of primarily trailering it to the trail I wouldn't look past the SX if your an interco fan, or the Treps. Reds are awesome but stickies, and only come in 20" rim. Nitto's for the do-all. Mickey just released larger sizes of their MTZ, which is a good looking tire as well.

If I go interco I'd probably stay with the iroks that I know. I did love the tires. They just needed a better balance method. When I asked around back then about machine balancing, they all said flat can't do it. So I did airsoft.
I have ceramic beads in my terra grapplers, and don't have the same issue. Not sure if it's that, the fact that they're radial, or the fact that they're smaller, or all of the above.
Slow speed it what I wanted them for and that was where I kept having problems . I don't blame the tires anymore. Just the balancing method I used.
Like said this will be a primarily trail truck. With only street use being trail to trail. And the occasional trips through town to scare nuns, small children, and yuppies.

Not sure what was doing mine. All I know is at about 15-30 mph, a slight bump sent the steering bat shit crazy and truck shook. Until I stopped, started driving again and it would be fine. Until the next thing that set it off. Exactly like normal death wobble but only ever at low speeds. Always figured I was bunching the bbs up wrong with the bump or something. My Nittos don't do it at all.
