Choosing a 37" tyre...
Hi everyone,
I'm currently debating with myself over several choices for my next set of 37" tyres and am looking for some hands on feedback.
I currently have Goodyear Wrangler MTR Kevlars. I bought them 2nd hand at around 30-40% tread and have liked them so far, but they're on their way out.
My spare is a Hankook Dynapro RT03.
These are currently my two options, whether I buy 4 Hankooks and have a complete set of matching tyres that look to be a bit more road friendly. Or whether I spend a bit more on getting a fresh set of Goodyear MTR Kevlars that'll undoubtedly be better offroad.
If anyone has hands on experience with either (for the long term), any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
My uses are wheeling (moderate/hard tracks) every 2-3 weeks, and being daily driven in the interim. This is why I'm leaning towards the Hankooks as a more road friendly tyre.
All options;
Hankook Dynapro: $420 (might be able to get that down further)
Goodyear Kevlar: $485 (bargained a shop down)
BFG KM2: $550
Mickey T MTZ: $540
Cheers,
Aaron

I have seen first hand, and read a decent bit of other complaints about balancing issues with the MTRs. Although they look better, and might be better offroad, that might be a risk you run. Others might chime in they've had great experiences with em. Not a huge fan of the looks of the Hankook, but those being the only two options, I'd probably lean that way myself. I will note I've not seen near as many MTR complaints in the last year or two. Maybe they resolved some manufacturing issues.
