Default Treadwright Warden AT's or Guard Dogs

Decided to give TreadWright my business along with a few of the guys I wheel with, big dilemma is whether to go with the 315x70R17 (35s) Guard Dogs or the 285x70R17Warden AT's (33s).

I have an '08 Rubi 4dr which I just purchased 3.25" Front 2" Rear Coils, upgraded shocks, steering stabilizers, adjustable front/rear track bars and bump stops and planning on chopping my fenders (Red's Mod).

Help me out, give your opinions and anyone running these tires definitely let me in on any perks/negs.

I'm going to say guard dogs. The tread pattern will be similar to what the Rubi had stock and if you want more traction you can add that as an option. Plus with the lift your adding you can easily fit 35's.

The Guard Dogs are definitely better on looks no doubt, was talking with Blue from TreadWright and he said if I kept them rotated they should give me good mileage just as the ATs (obviously wont be exact). Anyone running these currently?

Same here. I wish they made a 34" but i'll just get the 35's and chop the fenders and pinch seams.

265's

315's




I ran the 265's about 4000 miles, then sold them when I got the 315's. They've been on there about 2000. I like 'em.

Been doing fine in the snow, too.

He didn't give any mileage estimates although through searching threads here, I have found anywhere from high 30's and 40's, most wheelers seem to get rid of tires before the tires ever reach their "limits." Two of the guys I wheel with have these, one has 20k the other has just had them a little over a year and both have plenty of life left in them, i.e. greater than half tread. If anyone has info on total mileage please add input.
