Anything bad to say about the bfg Krawler? If not I'm thinking about trading some for my Iroks Input is helpfull

 

Im pretty sure they are not street legal... as long as that isnt an issue then I say go for them. They work well.

 

Neither are slicks, but I ain't ever got caught.

 

i love mine! go for it!

 

There are two forms of the Krawler. A dot legal version with harder compounds, and the red label version which is not street legal. The Red labels have very soft compound, and wear extremely fast on the street. You can also run into over heating issues if you run them on the freeway because of the soft compound. If you are thinking of the red labels, I would go with Maxxis Creepy Crawlers. They are a better performing tire.

As for the Irok vs. the Krawler. It depends what kind of trails you run. The Krawler is arguably better on rocks than the Irok do to its slightly softer compound. But the Irok has more biting edges (they are siped, Krawlers are not), which can help it in other circumstances.

 

I had blue dot krawlers on my TJs. I think everything said here is pretty accurate. Very good (if not the best) on hard pack and rocks. ok in mud and loose stuff. They are very sticky and last about 15K miles. They're great for a trailer queen not really good for a dual duty vehicle. or one that drives to the trails.

 

I am currently running Toyo MT 35's and going up to 37's. Anyone know how the DOT legals compare to the Toyo's in Moab and I may be getting a trailer soon so the mileage may not matter.

Thanks for any insights

 

I don't have Krawlers myself, but talking with friends that have the money to run them, the Krawlers were designed as a competition tire. The Red Labels have a super sticky compound. But even the DOT legal models have a soft compound that makes them perform very well. The only tires that are arguably better are the Maxxis Trapador and Kreepy Krawler tires. Thats not to say the Toyo's are not a great tire, they were just designed with daily driving in mind. So the compound they use is harder so you can get more miles out of them.

So if you will be trailering it, I highly doubt you will be disappointed with a set of BFG Krawlers.

 

I've used many different tires and the blue label Krawlers are best I've ever run. Like anything else, it depends on how and where you wheel. I do a lot of mud and snow. I have siped every set and they work very well in those environments. Others have said they don't work well on ice or snow. I haven't run them without siping so I can't comment. I can say, however, that this past week I used them on a snow run and they were great again even is in wet spring snow crawling (at idle). I have 2 buddies that went back to bias IROKs after having blue Krawlers (Krawlers were on national back order)and they will be going back to Krawlers.

Red label Krawlers are the worst snow tire ever. They seem to attract the snow and are awful.

 

Great, I was thinking of going with the DOT legal, I assume the Red Label and I live in SLC, UT. Exactly just how bad are they???? I have f350 dullay if we get slammed with snow, so I don't have to drive my JK. HMMMM decisions.
