Would you be willing to stand behind that "lowest price delivered guaranteed" to hawaii? I'm looking at 37x1250x17 mtr kevlars to 96818

Kevlar. I liked the tires but I beat them up pretty bad. We've got a lot of sharp rocks I suppose.

I do know that these iRoks stick to rock better and also do better int he snow. They are softer though---that is a tradeoff for street.

After a few snow storms, how are those in the north liking these tires for slippery weather type driving?

Hello from Australia.

I waited 3.5 months for my MTR Kevlars in 285/75r16 to arrive (Goodyear AU couldn't get hold of any as you guys were buying them all!) mine arrived with white lettering. I thought Oh well...

Now I really am thinking oh damn as this very problem is what is starting to happen!! Not good...

Any word if goodyear have resolved the problem?

Hey what are you guys running your MT/R Kevlars at for on road use? I have 33's on 16" wheels, and pretty sure they came filled way to high. Also any input for what to air down to for the beach would be appreciated

Yes. When I first had them installed the installer had to put gobs of weight to balance them. I also started having DW shortly after the new wheels and tires. I have litterally spent thousands on new suspension componentry to alleviate the DW with no improvment.

I was speaking to an offroad shop here in Jersey and the owner told me that he had the same problem. Severe DW with 35" MTR/Ks. He went back to BFGs and the DW was gone.

One person suggested road force balancing. Seems like a good idea but havnt tried it yet. What size are you running? what symptoms do you have?

i run my 35's at 28.5 psi at the moment and when i dropped it down the psi was at something crazy like 35. the ride quality is soo much better. as far as the tires go i have a little more than 6k miles on mine and the tread is still great.
