I'd go with the Cooper STT, great tire.  The MT/R seems overpriced and overrated, just like the old MT/R it replaced.

I ordered a set of 35" BFG KM2's yesterday, the tire wholesaler had one set of 4 in stock and they'll be in Monday :hump:

Truxxus MT's?
They have those in 37's. I'd like to stay away from that brand. I drive on the street to much. I've read some real good reviews and some real bad ones. I wish it was more consistant.

That is my 2nd choice. I have seen and read where lots of people are having a easy time of popping the sidewalls.

I have heard the Cooper STT is a nice tire. I have not seen anyone run it.
I think I'll hold out and wait for the KM2. I don't use my Jeep for weeks on end so if it sits on jackstands for a while it's not that big of a deal.
Besides I like the fact BFG donates money to keep the trails open!

Looks like there is a $60 rebate on the BFG's and $80 on the MTR. Just a FYI.

www.4wd.com has $69 shipping right now on 35" BFG tires, might see if they have some in stock.  My local shop matched the best price I found online and included mounting/balancing.

I called America's/discount tire. They will take the old ones off for free. They are going to match price of $208 ea. Plus I get the $60 rebate. I like to buy from them for their replacement warranty. It can't be beat!
This is the first time in about 12-13 years I have bought brand new tires for the Jeep. 33's-35's-37's all used.
They should be here sometime next week. (fingers crossed).

I had cooper stt's not bad offroad, had a hell of a time to ever get them balanced and just like procomp tires they have thin sidewalls. Cost wise they where close to MTR's the last time I looked

What is the used tire market like? Any 4x4 clubs or forums that you can look at for used stuff?

I thought about those in a 37. But I have read so many conflicting stuff on them I choose to go with a tire that had great reviews all the way around.
Glad they are working out for you. They do look nice.

The Truxus MT's I had on my XJ were terrible. Cupped very badly, impossible to balance, noisy as hell. Never took them offroad before I sold them though, probably do pretty good on the trail. Dunlop Mud Rovers are the best all around tire I've run for the money. Sidewalls were a tad thin but that was my only complaint.
