This isn’t your normal "which tire" thread…
I am leaning towards STI HD3 rims in a 14". Also, as an FYI I have 4 Rhino axles and a 2" HL bracket lift I can install again but don’t currently have on. I have a Dalton 800M mudder clutch kit also so weight is not as much as an issue. I would like to Not get beadlock rims due to weight.
so what I am needing…
1. At least 1"+ of tread depth, preferably 1.5"ish tread depth
2. 14" rims size
3. Close to $100 a tire as opposed to $200
4. 28"-30" definitely no smaller than 28" and definitely no larger than 30". I am more leaning towards a 28" that runs at least true to size, if I ran a 30" I wouldn’t care if it ran large or small.
What I want…
1. rim guard on tire (wouldn’t make or break the sale)
2. smooth even at low speeds (again wont make or break sale)
3. tires with a paddle ability (tread similar to a Outlaw, or even Bear claw HTR but with much deeper depth or Mud Lite XTR but again with much deeper tread depth)
4. Tires that are on the lighter side weight wise
I have had Outlaw2’s 29.5", Zilla’s 30", Mudweisers 27", and currently use 26" Bighorn 2.0’s (since before they came on mavericks) and these are no good in snow, lol.
In the summer I ride mainly hard pack, rarely ever any mud.
I am somewhat eyeballing Swamp lites because of tread depth and price but they don’t appear to have a good paddle ability and I have read they wear out fast………SO……..I am looking for ANY and ALL suggestions that fit my criteria. I Love the looks of Terminators and they would fit my criteria but I am not willing to pay so much for ATV tires since I feel they are ALL over priced already.
