Anyone run intercos on their dd KJ? What size/type and how do you like them?

Which ones/ what size/ then next question WHY

 

[RenKJ]

Well i assume tsls if at all, i was just curious if anyone was doing it [emoji14] ill probably go with KO MTrs when I size up

 

[tommudd]

TSLs are ok if you don't drive much and then mostly all mud
Not good on snow and ice really
Ran them years ago in bias ply ( before radials came out.
Dig great in mud, but noisy, wear quickly, etc
Much better overall tires out there anymore

I ran there Trxus MT's,good tire and takes some abuse.Great in winter but don't expect them to last more then 20k-25k miles.


Not on my KJ but I swear by there Boggers,great mud tire but not street friendly.

 

[tommudd]

I like the Truxus but like you said Troy not much for long term use
Boggers are like the old Groundhawgs used to be, they dig like everything, ran a few sets of them and loved them in mud. On the road forget about talking to anyone inside the vehicle
Also my employees could always tell when I was getting close to the office with the GroundHawgs

If i was going with a tire for summer use only would yall recomend ko2 mtr, trxus, or tsls? I plan to run a tall ice tire over winter.

Got 50k out of my last set of Thornbirds. 29 10.50 15s.

 

[tommudd]

People still buy Thornbirds? wow

 

[twowings]

I remember when anyone showing up with Thornturds had to show proof of a tow strap before being allowed on the trail....

 

[RenKJ]

So i take it they're not so great in the mud? I would really only consider the tsls if any interco at all

Thornbirds are totally worthless,a show tire only.




TSL's are good but not a very street friendly tires,along with Boggers(bias ply only and impossible to balance).If your heart is set on intercos get the Trxus MT's since it's there best tire that can be street driven.

How does the trxus mtr compare to the bfg ko2 mtrs?

The Trxus Mt's hands down beat any Michelin tire made besides non-DOT stickie's.

Do you think it would be safe to run that for a year or so without regear or should I stick to 245/75s
