The MT/R Kevlar looks undestroyable

This issue has been debated ad nauseum in other threads.

I've owned a set of both.

Neither is probably "better."

They are both superior ORV tires.

i've been running the mt/r's and they are a very tough tire and do well on the trail. i used to run bfg's for a long time but kept on getting sidewall damage.

correct my if I'm wrong but...

the Wrangler looks like it's a unidirectional tire, which alters your ability to rotate someshat, basically swap the front and back on each side for a 4 tire rotation. and pretty much makes a 5 tire rotation (what I do on mine) impossible

the tire is mounted on the rim with the outside facing outside... no matter which corner of the vehicle you put it on the outside is still gonna be facing the outside of the rim.

theyre not directional, they just have an asymmetrical tread pattern.

Well, less than 24 hours with my 35" mtr kevs, but wow. Love them. Ride quieter than my stock rubi tires did. Better road ride. Going to test them offroad this weekend.

Tried out the mtr/k tires offroad yesterday. Wonderful. Aired down to 15psi, great traction on slick rocks and muddy trails.
