Sorry if this is posted somewhere else, but I really don't have the time or patients to look for it right now..

How many miles could I expect to get out of the following tires... Considering I am going to be lifting my jeep 4in, and they will be 35's

Toyo MT's
BFG Mud Terrains
Nitto Mud Grapplers

I am going shopping tomorrow But just wanted a little input off of here too!

If you guys know any good review sites, or links to other postings about this let me know! Thanks!

 

I only have experience with the BFG muds, and they were 32's. I got about 35K out of them. I probably couldve gotten another 5-10K, but they started to get scary in the rain.

The most important thing with any mud terrain is to rotate every 3K. This greatly increases their life.

 

Whats your driving habits like??

 

bfg muds 10 to 12k . toyos 9 to 12k. mtr's 7 to 10k. with 5 tire rotation. but hey mine see more off road than on road.

 

My Toyo M/T's on my Diesel with 70% bush roads and 30% highway. I so far have 45K miles (72K kilometers) and still have about 5K left on them. Rotated them every 7500km (4500miles).

Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's - same conditions got approx. 25K miles and same rotation schedule.

 

I had toyo's on my tacoma and they were the MT and I was at 35K when I traded it for the jeep and they were in real good condition looking like they could of gone another 15K without issue.

 

Its a question that just hangs there...too many variables. Generally, MT's wear out pretty fast on the road...esp. considering you GOT MT's for OFF road, and those nice paddle wheel lugs to pull you along.

Unfortunately, grinding those nice paddles on the hwy wears them down to where they do NOT pull you along off road anymore like when they were new.

Concrete hwy vs black top, etc...gravel road vs dirt road, vs rocks or mud, etc...they ALL wear the tire at different rates.

My best solution if I have a lot of hwy miles, but want good tread for off road, is to simply get one set of BFG AT ko's for the daily driver duty....as they go around 75-90K most of the time no matter what...tough sums o beeches.

And keep a second set of play tires for when I need to be serious.

That way - the mud tires get almost NO wear...and the lugs stay long and deep.

 

I've had my bfg mts in three vehicles (two chevy trucks and one ford) and now i just put them on my jeep. so they seem like they're never gonna wear out. may be I just don't drive enough.

 

Thanks for all your help guys!

The BFG AT's sound like a good idea for me, but I am afraid they won't look aggressive enough, but for the mild off roading I do in it, it is probably fine. For this Jeep I am not doing any rock climbing or heavy off roading, it's more for gettin to the great camp spots and exploring the world off the pavement. Paid to much money to beat the shit out of this jeep! Also, I use it as a daily driver, pretty much everyday, either work or school. And unforunately both are in the city, lots of stop and go, turns, city air, spendy gas all that jazz..

Does anyone have a picture with a four door 4in lift with 35" bfg AT's?

I love the idea of getting two sets of tires, but don't have the money for that right now poor college girl, workin part time at the hospital! haha

If all else fails I will probably just resort to toyos because I hear the best things about them.. They are just sooo expensive!

 

I've got Toyo MT's on a farm truck but it only has maybe 3k miles on em so they still look brand new. But my buddies have them on their full size pick-ups and they last 30k or more. I might stay away from the Nito's. I haven't notice many around here in the NW so it leads me to believe they might not work well with the soil around here. But then again I don't even know anyone running Nito's to ask.

Might check out the Cooper Discoverer STT (kinda looks like the Toyo MT) My friend has them on a Chev full sized and they seem to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!
