need some info and Pics of the new Kevlar MT/R

 

What size are these?

 

how are they in mud, and rocks. thats mostly wat i run. how are they wearing? how long have you had them and how much tread do you have left?

 

There was a pretty good write-up on these tires in last month's JP Magazine. Do some searching around the forum, I'm pretty sure there are a few reviews out there.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on these, 35x12.5.

 

Has any one had any vibration and or movement problems with these new Kevlar tires. I got 5 at discount tire 33/12.5/15 and my steering wheel shook and my 2008 4door vibrated after 40mph. Right after getting the tires I had scheduled to take it to Desert Rat for a locker install and they did a check of the tires. They found them to be about 1.5 oz off weight and all four had some movement, like they where defective. I called Goodyear and they started a file as this was news to them. I get the Jeep back today so I hopping to see if the balance helped.

 

i have found that with the exception of toyo mt's, just about all large off road mud tires are a bit off and can be hard to balance. but, if you are persistant and have your shop rebalance them again and again, they can be balanced out right. having said that, yes, i have some balancing issues but not enough to really bother me and so for now, i'm leaving them as is.

 

Very quiet on the road. They appear to be very nice tires. I have a suspcion they are causing me to pull to the right given the tread design, I could be crazy.

 

anyone do any serious mudding with them?
what worries me is they're V tread but asymetrical, so one side runs "backwards" to a normal V tread. It doesn't seem like that one side wouldn't clear out well, or at least when going forward.

 

i have these in a 35/12.50/15. i went through mud last night with min for the first time. these things cleen out fast. as soon as i went through they wer kicking it out of the tread. these things are nise. and they run quite on the road. they do have a low hum. but that is all. i have only put about 150 miles on mine so far. have not yet run these over rocks.

 

i have one side that runs opiste the other. and they clean out very fast. the tread does not matter acording to Good Year. mine are all mounted the same direction for easy rotations.
