Ok normally in the summer I've been running 285 Baja widetrack mt's, they're cheap(175 a pop) and relativly tough (havn't had any flats on the 300km of gravel between Gillam & Thompson)

well, I was putting on my Bfg Allterrains for the winter and decided I need a new pair of Baja's since 2 of em are pretty much wore out (the back ones, go figure )

so I goes to my regular tire shop in FlinFlon and I find out they've discontinued the Baja Mt's

so now I need to pick new tire

any suggestions ......remember they're going on a 7500lb truck that does lots of highway miles (about 40,000km a year) and they got to handle gravel (tire noise is not a concerne, puncture resistance is)

I was thinking of Swamper trxus mt's, Pro comp xterrains, toyo open country Mt's, or something along those lines (havn't priced any of them out yet, I suspect i may have a heart attack when I do)

anybody any experience with any of those tires or other suggestions

I can fit 35's but wanna stick with 33's since my spares are 33's and it's damn high enough to climb up into allready (I'm short and fat [img]smile.gif[/img] )

 

that's the tires I have ...................they told me they're no longer availabe ?????


oh yeah thanks for the replies guys .........I posted on a few forums and goddyear mtr's got recomended everywhere ..........

so I priced em out ...365 each for 305/70-16 .....ouch .....I got to look into the Baja's again they were only 170 a pop
