Tire time!!

[GutsyGecko]

Mopar! Buddy! The bfg's are $210 shipped on tirerack.com. Have them mounted and balanced for $20 at any tire shop! I got them a week after the meet, the truck actually hooks in 1st!!!

I would buy whatever was cheapest.

Get a different set of wheels for the rear and put some slicks or drag radials on when you want to hook/race. I refuse to try to make street tires hook.

Now that is something I agree with.

Or install my traction system and QA1s and go to town on street tires

On the tire debate, I can vouch for many sets of tire brands as I haven't bought the same set twice in 100,000 miles

Falken- decent tire, decent traction, terrible wear, noisy
BFG- Handle great, cost too much, noisy, look great
Pirelli-Great overall handling, traction, quiet tire. Cost too much
Cooper- POS! Belt separation and blowout with 2 tires!! Wear fast but cheap and quiet. Wouldn't recommend to anyone!
Winrun-Chinese tire, cheap, look decent, quiet, traction decent
Tracmax-Korean tire, cheap, POS! Out of round when new, replaced with others under warranty, out of round too
Only reason I tried them is the are super soft with great traction but can get over 65 mph without vibration. Wasn't a balancing issue
Nexen Roadian HP- just got them but so far a great tire for the price. Don't hook well but are a longer lasting tire.

Overall I think BFG takes the win for overall traction, handling, and wear.

Anyone running the coopers??

YES!:rock::burnout: Ive been running Coopers since 2006 and I have had zero issues with them! They last pretty good considering:burnout::drool: LOL and the traction is pretty good,I like them better the the Pirelli's I had on(mine were under 50% and didnt hook very well)
Im on my third set and no blow outs,no flats just wires showing when I was done!! LMAO!:burnout::rock:

cut a 1.5 or 1.6 on a street tire then get back to me on that. I'm not talking about a drag radial either.

For a 22" tire, get something that last long and does good in the rain. Be safe and dont worry about a 60'. Leave that for some good rubber.

Had some of those my my dakota. Rode great and handled rain well. Wore out in 20k miles tho

 

[mopar-or-no-car]

I have not had good luck with general/continental tires....not saying the uhts are bad but I would have a hard time spending my money with them based on prior experiences....

Should be good for another 8 years then!

LOL yeh. Forgot you don't get many miles in. You'll prolly love em. I was worried if I only got 20k with a 4.7L that I would get 10k with an 8.3

Anyone running the coopers??

Yes, I'm running Cooper Zeon's - not rated for for our truck's speed. Two things, they cured the rabbit hunting that the Pirelli's are famous for, but the mileage sucks.....they are soft .....about 26,000 and they are gone, and i don't burn em, well rarely. Just sayin. but they look kewl. Just my 2cents. I won't buy another set for the price.

I've got the Nexens on my 10. Came on the truck. They don't seem too noisy, and they are grippy enough for my overly-pussified driving style.

I may have put 300 miles on the 10 since I bought it, not including the drive home from N VA. Approx 1 mile of that was "goosing" the gas pedal. The other 299 were cruising and grinning.

Trussman can attest. I left the 10 home the other night when we went to the drag strip... :wuss:

Anything on the General Grabber UHP's??

I'm at m'y second set of the General and very happy with my choice !

 

[mopar-or-no-car]

I recommend the nexens if your gonna play around in your truck they hook as good as the pirellis or better and they are cheap to replace

Not sure there would be a better testimonial than this one..this coming from a person that we know drives his 10!!!
