Okay- I was going to buy some real aggressive 33"s to run with my 3.21 gears over Texas trails and mud on my 2.5" lifted 6 speed... the deal fell through. These BFGs have been GREAT but I am sick of them gumming up and becoming slick... They are too narrow of voids for me to be able to clean with throttle. I found these taller tires for a great price and they seem more agressive. I will NOT be doing a regear anytime soon, and this purchase is to give me more capbilities in the thick clay and deeper mud. Will these tires be a marked improvement (in trail) over the BFG 31"s? https://www.treadwright.com/p-52-285...dog-m-t-d.aspx

 

I personally wouldn't use a retread if you gave them to me. I know many people use and like them but I dont trust them, I would rather spend the extra money on new, first quality tires. As for performance off road, they don't appear to be much more aggressive than the factory Rubi tires, although the larger tire size you go with, the larger the lugs will be in general

 

What about the Backbone 2? Looks like it has a more open tread that will sling the mud from the tires better...

Thats the Q... they only offer Backbone 2 in 16". Hence my trepidation. Do i want to go to a 16 for weekends. Could afford it at tbis price

 

...at these prices i could afford trail only 34.7"s!!!

 

The one in the link is a 285/75-17!

 

...wgich might be bearable in 4lo even with 3.21s

 

...called today and they dont make them in 17 or 16 anymore!

 

^^edit^^

They dont make 15" or 17" sizes in Backbone/Backbone 2

 

Don't you just love internet vendors who never think to actually update their website when things change? Makes you wonder what else they "forget" to tell ya...
