I've had my 35s for 2 years now and put 35,000 km on them and they're about half way worn. I do a 5 tire rotation every oil change and it's been helping. The more they wear, the louder they get but I don't care.

I've run these tires in the wet and slippery granite of Canada and they hook up great. They've never let me down in deep, thick mud and clean out well. I've driven them through 2 Canadian winters and have had no problems with them but with any aggressive tire they suck on ice. I've wheeled MOAB with them and they hooked up perfectly. I love these tires and would highly recommend them.

I feel people either love them or hate them.

Is the 35" tire messed up? And the 37" isn't i have heard not to do the 35 but the 37 is great a few times can you explain it to me because I'm lost

TheDirtman

There are many other tires available in 35" that I would run over the MTR. When you get to 37" tires you have fewer choices, when you get to 40" there are even fewer.

Does it actually work and is it beneficial, should be the question.... and please, experience, not marketing gibberish.

^^^This is a relevant point. Is Kevlar extremely strong? Yes. However, only when sufficient layers are used. Just like carbon fiber, Kevlar gets its strength by layering. Now, looking at current pricing for Kevlar and prices for MTRs (relative to other tires), I think one could infer that there is a very small amount of Kevlar used.

Kevlar is readily available. If it was a step forward in tire technology, why don't many other manufacturers use it?

I cut one of my 40's at wind rock in eastern tennessee and a sharp outcropping of shale, not sure if any tire would have survived it or not. I worry about them out here with all the sharp jagged rocks but have been good so far but I make sure I carry a spare and a plug kit. As far as climbing they hook up very well here on the rough rocks we have and with them being a C rated tire they really mold around rocks. The 37" E rated tires not so much as they are just too stiff. I put a boot in the tire I cut and still run it today. They are starting to get some wear on them and doubt if I will run them again.

Dirtman, you need some comp spec rubber. That Jeep would climb like a mountain goat.

My last set of MTR/ks..... first shitting of the bed. By the time I had 100 or so miles on these tires, I had 6+ sidewall gashes.


These were used tires... 85-90+ percent. No visual signs of anything wrong. Maybe a fluke, maybe not? Then again... the set I had prior seemed to sidewall tear often as well.

New set of tires, not of the MTR/k variety... no sidewall issues. Same wheeling locations, more miles.

Now... all that being said, I am extra hard on tires.

What 35" tire would you recommend for a daily driver that will also be taking trips to offroad parks like raush creek every few months? All around best tire/ bang for your buck

I wheel at Rausch monthly. My 37" MTRs do poorly there (had better traction with my 35" Duratracs). Trail grapplers seem to do much better there (and far better on road). KM2s seem to do well there also. Krawlers above those, but not a good street tire.
