Best M/T tires for a rock crawler in 2021
- Thread starter suicideking
- Start date
It is not opinion that red label Krawlers are only good for 2500 miles on the street. That is a fact. How many sets have you run?
I don't dislike anyone enough to wish that much misery upon them.
Me too (33x10.5), but lately it's been a ton of daily and only back roads for fun. Still like them though.
What’s new? Not all opinions are equal. One thing we all seem to know is that Milestar Patagonia M/T’s are not a good tire.
Really though, what terrain? How much road vs off-road? Trailer queen? Mall crawler? It shouldn’t be difficult to narrow it down to ~3 sets of tires.

I’m very clear on that. The questions still matter. When I ask what terrain? Rocks differ across the country. Where I wheeled in TX, lots of mud mixed with limestone rocks. Not that way in JV. Here in east WA and ID, rocks with snow on them. I wouldn’t even consider the GY MTR on those kind of rocks. Moab, slickrock, high grip. The questions still apply.
@bobthetj03 went MT, MT, AT, and next he said he’s going back an MT. Something like that!
The OP's from Riverside in SoCal, he's surrounded by big-ass granite rocks and not far from Johnson Valley. He meant real rock crawling.
What are you thinking of going to with the GY MT/R going out as a 15” offering?The OP's from Riverside in SoCal, he's surrounded by big-ass rocks and not far from Johnson Valley.
I can’t speak for him, but at least a few of us will be going to 17” wheels.
For the mud he is going to be wheeling in, does it matter?
I don’t think the Cooper’s are small compared to the MTR, and the difference in actual measurement would be negligible.
The Coopers were a very good ride for me on-road and never let me down off-road in Moab, Hidden Falls, Wolf Caves, Denver Creek, Compressor, or elsewhere. I got about 25,000 miles out of them and still had 10/32’s. Sold 4 for $300. Kept one as a spare. They claim the sidewall has a reinforcement technology. It’s the same as the Mickey Thompson sidewall tech, just a different name. I wanted that bc I was in rocks. Never had a flat, but that’s just my experience.
That’ll be the day!
EDIT: ok, now that he’s moving to FL, he’ll need a tire that stands up to gators
and hurricanes 
! 
I never had good luck with the GY MTR in wet conditions. Try stomping on the brakes on-road when it’s wet.

I've seen you drive, the forecast on that one is poor.. And pray I don't destroy another before I get the heck out of California lol.
I hope to go to CA to wheel, but I’d never want to live there, though our governor in WA worships your governor, so probably not much better. Thankfully ID is 45 minutes away.I dunno, what's on there now is in pretty good shape. With me moving to Florida and not much more hardcore wheeling left in my future I may just stay with them. And pray I don't destroy another before I get the heck out of California lol.
Hey now I only have a 12.5% destruction rate, that's only 2 out 16, since switching to the MT/R.
