Tire Choices

I will have to agree with the comments about the BFG A/T's, they are good for everything but mud. Especially if you have sticky clay, it just packs on and makes for 4 huge "mud" tires, literaly.

I have run BFG A/T's on my jeep cherokee and toyota 4runner but they didnt see as much off road as my Series. I am running BFG Trac Edge's on the SIII, but they dont make those anymore . When they finally go, i will get something agressive but not too soft. I dont have to deal with snow here so its not a big deal.

What i want to do eventually is have a set of high milage street tires and a set of off road tires for it. Swap on a set of MT's for when i go out to play and keep the non agressive tires for everyday driving.

Those may be my next set, but i have heard some horror stories about how hard they are to ballance, out of round, etc.

how hard do those 'super traxion' tires ride? I love the classic look of them since they seem close to what came on Rovers originally - are there major downfalls?

They are pretty much what you would expect from cheap bias ply tires.

great truck!

having run radials all my life, I don't know that I'd know what to expect. I'd assume hard-riding....

Just do a google search for bias ply tires will tell you everything youd ever want to know about the pros and cons and construction differences.

Lookup treadwright on google. I ordered a set of their re-tread tires for the first time a few years back. Ran them ever since on all of my trucks. They have a pattern in a 235-85-16 that looks like the dunlop mud rover. If you use your LR for all around everything kind of driving they work great. I have them on my Series III and my Disco. My friend runs them on his D110 and another on his Disco. Some may not like the idea of a re-tread tire but I think they are worth the cheap price you will pay for them. I used to run the same size BFG Mud Terrains on all of my vehicles and for the price of the retreads you cant go wrong. Just my opinion?

Scott - Did you take the Dunlops off the "Highlander" and put on re-treads?
