I'm going to be getting Hankook Dynapro MT i believe for my next tire on my Samurai. Also on my DD/towrig.
MTR...the right tire for me?

When you are working on what pressure to run, try this:
Start with whatever pressure you think is right - 26psi is a good enough start. Then, drive over a dirt (or whatever) surface that will put a light coat of dust on your tires. Then, drive onto a paved surface. Try to keep the vehicle straight and drive for a little ways. When you stop, take a look at what dust is remaining on the tread surface. What you want is that all of the tread (that part which comes into contact) is clean - all the way out to the edge of the shoulders.
If there is still dust on the shoulder blocks, you'll want to drop your pressure by a pound, and do it again. If there is no dust left, add a pound and try it again. Once you get up to the level where there is some dust on the shoulders, you'll want to drop back a pound or two.
I did this with the 33 bfg mts I had, and used 25psi for my street pressure. you can do this the opposite way as well, by starting with a 'clean' tire and driving slowly through the dust / dirt surface. either way, you're looking for complete contact through the footprint.
yep, I've noticed on mine just a little of extra dust on the edge of the lugs (so it's crowning just a little) and is why I'll be dropping mine another couple pounds.

I've used chalk with good success.

Thanks for the advice...I've use either chalk or dirt in the past...seems that in a pinch I've even used a Crayola

I'll do a set of 5 - part number 5254 - 35x12.50-15's to your door for $960.
Going off of $7 a tire for shipping through Summit, they would be $982.

How much did Big-O ask for a MTZ? Post pics and oppinions when you get a chance
Should have an opinion and pics tomorrow if all goes as planned.
Big-O quoted me $198.99/tire (Discount was about $225+ $15 ea shipping) and I think Summit is about $190 but there's addition shipping and handling but no sales tax.... Mount & balance with purchase was $11/tire...thing that made it a done deal is they offered $300 for my 33x10.50x15 take off's

So what's that, about $829 out the door? Not bad!

Sorry I'm kind of slow...actually trying to work a little
About $829 out the door...very close indeed Not trying to sell old tires or haul (5) 35's in the back of a TJ...priceless

Special thanks to Caleb for recommending the MTZ's. Only driven on the MTZ's a few miles so not much to report on except...initially I can't believe how quite and smooth they are compared to the BFG KM's that were previously on it. Also, they only required about 4-5 oz's to balance I'll try to get some pics posted later.

I _almost_ went with the MTZ's..... I really wanted to try them out this last time, but I went with bias claws instead. And now that I'm going 39"s, I went the bias claws again....

Time will tell but initially the MTZ's may be a great solution for a DD. Another thing that I've noticed is they are relativley soft rubber unlike the BFG's I previously had. I wish I had a durameter tester because I would compare them to a friends MTR's...doesn't really matter, just curious.
So Wayne, with the new 39's is your TJ still your DD?

So, off subject but is the 'exceeded CPU quota page' typical...seems to be for me?

Time will tell there, too.. I'm hoping to keep it a street/trail rig!
What happened to your 35" claws? :greg:
