Sorry if this was asked before, but I'm looking to find out what are the best all around tires. I'm looking at a set of Pit bull Growler's 35x13.50-15's. I like the look of the aggressive tires. Also the truck will see street duty and trails. I also like the Wrangler MT-R and the Geolander MT's ? Any help would be great.
 
nope, this is rand new , we have never discussed this before.:rolleyes: (sarcasm)
I think we have come to the conclusion there is no best all around, at least not one we can agree on. but seeing as I am the first dog at this hydrant, I vote for the BFG radial TA, the mud or all terrain.:D
this is an opinion and opinions are like ex wives, seems like just about everybody has at least one.

Best tire I have ever run for all around and long wear is the <-BAD WORD-> Cepek radial FCII, it is great on the street, great on dirt for general off road work, not the best rock tire but adequate. meeds mud work.
Best rock tire I ever ran was Mickey Thompson Baja Claw
I am running a set of BFG KM2s that are great tires also.
 
Without knowing what kind of trails you will be using your jeep for it's hard to answer. You said street and trails so, I have to say I like my mickey mtz's. Only trouble is they are not on your list are they.

I don't know anyone running any of thoes tires so I really don't know.
 
I have the wrangler mtrs on my Scrambler and I can say they are great in the snow. Cant give any feedback off road though. I love a Bfg mud terrain. All that being said my next set of new tires are gonna be the Mickey Thompson Mtzs.

Bingo, we are a diverse group and live all over, Best tires can be very regional.
 
Buy your tires for your terrain, not on looks or opinions.
I live in the plains area of NM and see alot of clay type mud and
snow and ice during the winter. The best tire I've run so far, under those
conditions and daily driven on the street are the BFG KM2's. I liked them so
much I gave a customer review and signed a release so BFG/Michelin can use
it in an ad.

Scope out the local 4x4's and see what others are running, even ask people
how they like them.
 
Super Swamper Boggers are great street tires!! Buy-em.
 
I have Always run BFG M/T's...I would agree, depends on how and where you drive.I need to drive 3 hours on the highway to get to the trails.

BFG M/T's work Great for me on the highway in the Mud,Snow and Crawling.
 
I would have to agree with the mickey thompson MTZ's or ATZ. Were running a pair of ATZ on the fiancee's ZJ and they do great in the snow(gotta wait for this white stuff to melt some more before i can test the mud factor :D) But i would have gotten the MTZ's had they had them instock and the tire place. The other plus is they dont burn a whole in your pocket as bad as a set of 35 KM2's would :)
