Tarpon4me had a great thread on the MasterCraft MTX tires. That thread helped me decide on them I like the look of the side walls and tread design. Figure I would try them out. MasterCraft is a subsidiary of cooper tire. I hear they run around 36" mounted which is good less stress on my locked Dirty 30 hopefully 4.56's will be enough to not make it too much of a dog.
Sweet man thanks for the info I'm going to look them up and read on them.

I'm on my second set, soon to be third set. I love them. However, not for everyone. They are loud on the highway like an aggressive tire should be. They are heavy like the Toyo MT and a bit stiff but reducing the pressure give them a decent ride. We run them on 2 Jeeps and 2 RAM trucks.

My current set 37x12.50x17 have 55,000klm and still have 15/32 tread depth out of the original 21/32".
Regular rotation and running the proper tire pressure is key to higher mileage.

I run them all year round. Love them in the snow. If it's icey, lower the pressure and they are not bad. They are not an ice tire by any means but I am comfortable with them up here in Northwestern Ontario. I commute 120klm round trip everyday.

Where did you buy them? I was looking into those 2 years ago .... Contacted the owner after finding out discount tire direct no longer carried them..... But nothing ever materialized with the owner (may still have his number) so I ended up with 37" MTR's for summer (always switch back to 35" Duratracs in winter) but selling in fall was looking at the Cooper STT Pro's in 37" but may reconsider the pitbulls again if there's a dealer in Ontario I'm in Kitchener..... Thx
