tires...

Gregclimbs 7 March 2005 22:33:00
 is it better to run a slightly smaller more agressive tire, or a larger,
less aggressive tire?

Cureently have 30/9.5 BFG KM's and was thinking about swithcing to
32/11.5 BFG TA's.

 Define "large" = Diamter and/or width ?

Where will you use the vehivle.

There are two philosophies.

a. Wide tire will float (or not)
b. Narroe tire will cut through the loose ground and reach solid ground

If its about diameter then get the size that matches your gears and the
size that will fit WITHOUT rubbing when flexed.

More aggessive but smaller will be better.

Which, again, tells us nothing about WHAT you are about to do with this
vehicle.
Might as well be a Café Racer. In that case, I'd suggest 38" boggers and
lots of chrome ;-)­

 Your traction will go to crap with the wider tires.

We went from a P225 width to a P235 width in the same tire and were very
disappointed with the loss of traction.

You are going 2" wider so it will really show the difference.

I recommend tall skinny for the best traction and handling unless it is
a strictly off road machine.

 LOL - that is funny...

this is a daily driver in slc, ut. but we go to maod to mtb a fair
amount and like to drive the trails in the heat of the day or at night.
I have plans to make it more and more trail worthy with time (dana300
flipped, dana 44 f/r etc).

I think I am going to the KO's in a 31/10.5, from the KM in a 30/9.5 as
the traction loss shouldn't be too bad, and the reduced road noise
would be good for the kids...

I just last week put on a set of Bridgestone Fuzion ZRI 95W rated
tires on my Mustang. $650 total at a Firestone dealer. Good in the
wet but not for the snow as I was told. I like them so far, much
better than the GoodQueer F1's that were on it when I was wiping out
just doing a 30 mph right hand turn. Put on anything but Good Year
tires.

 Any one have any experience using Yokohama tires, specifically the
Geolander AT+ II's? I'm looking to get a new set for my 96 Ram CC 5.9L
4x2.

I do mostly on road driving but like the option of A/T tires when it
snows or if I have to go off the road.

I am currently running on a set of Cooper Vipers that served me very
well over the last 50k miles and it turns out they are no longer made.

I like the Wranglers by goodyear but they typically wear out fast (in
my own experience i had eagles on a car and they wore down quickly and
the wranger RT/S on the Ram wore down in about 40k). The cooper Vipers
were great better ratings then the goodyears and looked better too.


What kind of tires have you been riding on.

Any suggestions/recomme­ndations?



Again I have a 2 wheel drive 96 Ram 1500 CC w/ the 5.9 and drive mostly
street in NJ

Thanks

I would stay with a US made tire if it were me. Sooner or later, we will
all regret the money we sent overseas when our jobs and country disappear.
BTW, the Goodyear RT/S on my '97 BR 2wd lasted 60K with regular tire
rotations.

I have been running Yokohama Geolander H/T-S tires for about 9000 miles
now and I cannot say enough good things about them. They are quiet on
road and still have a good aggressive design, well good enough for my
4x2. They have held up well and do not show any signs of wear around the
edges like previous Wranglers have. Wet weather and snow traction both
seem very good, as does dry pavement. Best thing, I caught them on sale
for about $80 each at TireRack.com. That is a great deal for light truck
tires! They are now running about $105 a tire over there, the ones you
mentioned are about the same.

I will probably stick with Yokohama tires the next time my truck is due,
I have been that happy with them.

Reading some into it, aren't you. He didn't say anything about the rest
of the world. I tend to agree about buying "made in America" - as
opposed to American brands which may or may not be made in the US (when
I have a choice), as long as the quality is the same or better than the
foreign version.

Your are correct, the front end wears tires quicker in a front wheel
drive and they should have put the half worn ones in rear and new ones
on the front.
