Default 13.5 12.5 on 3.5rk

Thanks for all the input, WOL u have a sick jeep btw. Since ima run the RK 3.5 max travel {toyo being 13.50 Cooper 12.5} do yall think that I would have to do less trimming on the pinch seem and the fenders if i ran the toyo? Im not upgrading fenders right away but i wil before i go offroad. Itd be cool to see some pics of these two tires. Thanks

The Toyos were the best full-MT tire I've ever run. Just all around performers that deserve their solid reputation. The only reason I'd select something other than the Toyo would be the weight consideration. They are heavy.

The key to all those miles is 5 tire rotation four times a year. When I decided it was time for new and bigger shoes, I still had 1/4" tread depth. Tire life really surprised me too, I did not expect that from a mud tire. Hopefully I get good wear out of the MTRs.

I have 37" Coopers, their on-road manner are just ok, the off-road they do chunk, and are just ok in the deep mud. These are about a year old and have seen plenty of street/trails.
I think they are just ok, cheaper than most tires, and the only brand I was able to get at the time. Notice the chunking:



I will not buy these again, I liked the KM2's I had better.

I've been running my toyo 37s for 3 years now and almost 30k miles. lots of freeway AND rocks and couldn't be happier with performance. I'm hoping to get 60k miles or more. Toyo all the way !!!!!

I've got over 56,000 on my km2's and they still have at least 1/2 tread left and I have never rotated the spare in (that's what I'm basing my tread life on). They're only 33's, but they should wear the same, right?
