Rotator MT Tires

[burbguy82]

Wanting some opinions from whom have used them in the past. They are half the cost of the BFG, Toyo, Cooper counterparts. Walmart shows then specifically being for the Dodge Ram 3500 for some reason. But I plan to use them on a 15 GMC 3500, same tire size. I am normally a BFG/Michelin guy, but a half the cost, I figured they might be worth a shot, pending some feed back.

I dont drive my work truck that much anymore, and the tires a on their last leg, and have been looking for a replacement of enhanced CAPABILITY over the LTX ms2.........the NEW BFG HD terrain is on the list but again twice the cost.

Amazon reviews look favorable. Same tread pattern, same load ranges, but different sizes. I noticed on both Amazon and Walmart that the fitment checker claims the 275/70/R18 won’t fit my 2024 RAM 3500 SRW. That’s the size I run in a 10-ply.

I have a set of these crosswind M/T's on a chevy tracker and while I have only put a few thousand road miles on them I can say they're fairly quiet and no noticeable wear yet. They come in your size. I haven't seen any bad reviews on them either.

That's an aggressive skinny tire.

I agree. Weird that Walmart for instance lists them for a specific vehicle, a 3500. Of course the tire does not care whether is is a Ram or GM or Ford, but it seems as though it is made for HD use

Thanks, a saw those tires and they defiantly look cool, and would likely perform similar to the ones I pictured.

That's an aggressive skinny tire.

For overall use, I think skinny is better repective to reality. Of course paper thin is no good, but neither is jumbo width.. Wide is for mud runners, IMO, that is it.

They look cool

The best thing about AT and MT tires is how cool the treads look on them

The LTX MS2 and this tire are opposite ends of the use spectrum - LTX capability is a long-lived highway dry/rain/quiet/steering/stopping/pavement tire. The M/T pictured will be lousy in all of those departments. So really you're really looking for something that can get gnarly in off-road, rocks, mud, and completely unpaved environments, right?

Yeah. Enhanced capability over long tread life, to a point. And considering one of the cheaper other than normal brand tires, such as the one I posted or similar, based on public opinion

 

[burbguy82]

there are a few more to consider......this one is the Thunderer Ranger MT
