ther reason why i wonder is my dad as liek whoa when i was saying tire prices for 35 by 17
so i started loking at 15 they are cheaper the mt is 209 and the mt etreme is 249
why are they so much better
34.5 is good enough for me

idi rly like to keep it in those i can look at the mickeys and dick cepeks but they are expensive
the place is a jeep customizer like camp just not paint jobs and such
its local so n shipping fees i wouldnt think thx for help

how bout around 30 psi what is the height?
will they extreme stay true the lower the ps i gets?

The only complaint I have ever heard or read about the Pro Comp Xtreme MTs is the lucks can chunk off in heavy sharp rocks--and that complaint was only by very heavy rockcrawling wheelers. I know many people who have run the Xtreme MTs who have said they would buy them again.
yeah, they chunk, thats my only complaint. its hard to keep a wheel balanced if you wheel alot...

I will buy them again anyhow

I have 35"x12.5"x17" Xtreme A/T and LOVE them, honestly they perform flawlessly on everything I have done from crawling to blazing through mud , I will definitely get them again, and they look badass

I've ran both and my take is. The xtreme has a better tread design for offroad not only in mud but rocks as well. Also the sidewalls are better on the xtreme. after wheeling with both, Id never to back to the regular MT. Im selling my 35's just so I can to a 37 and will extremely pleased if I can get the Xtreme MT's again.
