Going to get some new tyres in the next couple of weeks, was looking at 31 treps, or either 33 bighorns, mtzs or km2, just after opinions on these tyres, i currently have 32 pedes that were on the car when I got it but they don't suit the terrain I drive most, rocky bush

Yea those were the km2 I was thinking of, originally wanted the treps but the others I went with on sunday are running 6 inch lifts with 35s so I thought the 33s for a bit better clearance would be good, my truck is geared for it so that isn't a problem

i'm loving my KM2s... previous to them i had simex ET and cooper STT.
the KM2 outperform both on all surfaces - the only thing the simex win on is deep goopy mud, and i've not had the chance to test the BFG fully in that situation as yet.
my vote would be the KM2.

I think 31s on lux diffs wont be as impressive as 31s on zook diffs, I would have stuck with a 33 or gone for the 34.6" Treps
(well actually I would have stuck with zook diffs)

Yea I would have liked 35 treps but I'm in nsw and i am engod for 32 so I think 35 would have been pushing the issue abit as it's road driven aswell, will see how it goes may get a second set of rims with some 35 treps

MTZs look the goods and herd nothing but good things from them, would love a set of Claws but ppl tell me there not crash hot on the rock, but great in the mud
But even with our light weight suzukis will it still matter ?? claws on the rocks that is

Okay so I got my treps today, told the guy to put 25 pound in them as that's what my simex ran on road, but when I seen them got him to bump them to 30, I'm just wondering what pressures would be best for road use?

'tirerack.com' you'll get those same 33's for $80-100 per tyre cheaper.
