Goodyear buys Cooper. Cooper makes Mickey Thompson. Mickey Thompson releases the BAJA BOSS M/T that is similar to the MT/R. Goodyear begins phasing out the MT/R. Wouldn't mind seeing a new MT/R though. Other than Krawlers that's all I've run on my Jeep.
Jacksonville. I'll probably try a little wheeling in Georgia or close to there but there's absolutely no wheeling in Florida that excites me.
Hear ya,my dad lives in st Augustine,it’s a great place to live,but no wheelin!
Not a whole lot better further up the coast from you a few states. Just not enough parks around compared to you spoiled folks from out west....
If Rausch Creek closes I'll have nothing left to keep from being a pure Mall Crawlers. And I haven't been there since.... what were we talking about?
Here's a new option for those who can't find MT/Rs any longer. Of course they're only available at this time in 20" and 22"s for the "exclusive" crowd.

Overlander M/T. On 22" wheels. From none other than Rough Country. Sounds about right.

On the advice of the board I bought 35x12.5x15 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM3s a couple weeks ago. Readily available then and now (just checked). Got mine from TireBuyer - best overall price, got to my house in 2 days.
I need me some tyres now that I got my Jeep back from the shop. The problem I have is do I stick with the 15in rims or go 17in.
I'll stay in the BFG family if I go 15in.
If I had a $1 for every time I got someone asking me to sponsor them through my job I'd be able to buy every version of the 2021 wranglers this year. lol

It's almost as if outsourcing ALL of our manufacturing was a poor choice...
Yea, you think? Especially to Red China.
MTRs and GA red clay soil do not play well together. For some reason they are not able to clean out the clay between the lugs as effectively as some other tread styles.
Will you be the next Stu Olson and kick your jeep habit for a Ford F-150 Lightning?
Jerry, with these coveted tires discontinued (I have a set on my 97) what is the talk around the water cooler for a suggested suitable substitute?
Background. I was looking around myself the past week and found out via 2-3 different tire shops that they could no longer procure the Goodyear MT/R tires. With that said I was looking at other options but didn't see that great of reviews on these: 35x12.5x15 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM3s.
Any suggestions from the group are welcomed on tire options to replace the GY 35x12.5R15 MT/R.
