Ok so I have been trying to find a nice, fairly inexpensive tires for my new ProComp 8179 17x9 wheels. Mickey Thompson makes a nice tire and so does the Toyo mt. Problem is those tires are closer to 300 bucks a tire. Tire Rack has the factory Rubicon BFG's for 109 each. I really wanted a 33' tire and these are 32.
Here is my question, how do these tires work in the Rain? I live in Seattle, I mean Chicago and we are getting a ton or rain here . How do these perform in the rain? I hear mixed results from people on this forum.
Also is there a difference between the 32 and 33 that I will notice. I am going to get the TeraFlex 2.5 coil kit.
I hate to beat a dead horse but 800 bucks is 800 bucks in my pocket.

 

I also am on a budget with tires and looked in to retreads. The name is " tread wright " I do not run this tire. But, it sure seems like a good deal for a M/T

 

I am in to see where this goes. I have 18's and looking at the same lift. I think I am going to get some rubi take offs. It will be cheapest for me in the long run.

 

If you want only 32" MTs I think the rubi take offs are unbeatable. I have seen sets of 5 wheels and tires with nubies on them go for $400!!! I think you can get replacement tires from places like tirerack for under $100 a tire if the pull offs run out.

If that is the height you will love forever, I would get a couple sets of the pull offs. The are cheap and work well.

 

i got Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Radial 32... got a set of 5 and rims for about 2,000 they work great on and off road and i live in ill too......
