WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE HAS TO SAY AND THINK ABOUT
THESE NEW MTR?
I THINK THAT THESE NEW HYBRID TIRES WILL HOLD THERE OWN ON THE TRAILS AND HIGHWAY.

CHECK THEM OUT LETS SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK

I don't like the color.

I don't like the color.

That took me second to get.

I'm not a big fan of the aggressive GSA wanna be. Are they going to keep the orig. MTR?

 

[AX10TOY]

Yes they still offer the original mtr
or thats what they told me today

 

[pELYgroso]

doesn't look all that aggressive. but if they're going for an in between to something like the bfg a/t and the orig. MTR, it may have it's place.

 

[Cody]

Hmm, I don't love it, but it kind of fits in the middle of an AT and an MT which could be cool for expedition and long range type wheelin.

 

[mesha]

cool




for other peoples cars, not mine.

 

[Rot Box]

If it's anything like the original MT/R it should be a good one

 

[Vonski]

Well, its already been proved that an off-road tire doesn't need to have a "directional" pattern to work well, so whats the point? Unless, they want to keep the kid running the tire machine guessing at the correct mounting or give their customers a 50% chance of running their spare tire backwards, I don't get it.

 

[TimB]

I don't like. I bet they make more noise than the old MT/R's, and they are loud. Also look about as lousy for mud/snow/ice driving. I like my MT/R's but will probably look for something more versitile next time.

 

[GOAT]

They appear to be asymmetrical, not directional. The voids look smaller than the old tire but, you never know. The last tire did surprisingly well for a MT in everything but mud. The MTR wore like *ss and were noisy as well.

On the plus side, they will come in a 42" and won't require 20s like the BFG.

I was pretty happy with the miles I put on my two sets (about 20K on my 32" and about 20k on my 35"--sold both sets with over half tread). For a dual purpose rig, I'd buy them again.

That pattern looks like they'd need a different tire for the driver and passenger side though, doesn't it?

It sure seems like it. Goodyear says non-directional, but white letter side out. Kinda like Yoko Geolander MTs

there's a couple of guys running them on some other boards and seem to like them. I agree about the looks, kind of funky. I've been known to change my mind.......

Hell, actually been considering running some 43" SXs if interco ever gets around to making them:greg:

Apparently the XJ doesn't like them & was trying to remove 'em??

I think the driver was pulling a "hartwig"

Don't people know that bad kharma and wood-grain go hand in hand?

 

[Bart]

Not positive, but think that was in Johnson Valley a couple weeks ago.

On another note, I'd run them if they gave me a set. Always liked the old MTRs for my road rigs.
