i was thinking about getting 36/13.50/15 Iroks radials for my truck and i got a price on them and it was $1220. I was looking around and i can get a deal on a set of 39.5/15/15 from a guy i know for $800 or probally cheaper ,but i was wondering if they ride good. I was also worried about if they would fit i know the guy with the red ranger that used to have the 39.5 tsl had the same lift but he didn't have fender flares. also i was wondering if they would look right on 15x8 rims because i am not wanting to get new rims

 

those 36 iroks are 200 a piece, where does the other 4 come from?

 

i don't know thats what i was quoted. is $200 for the radials or the bias because i got the price for the radials and in the magazines the radials are $250 a piece and the bias are $200

 

so you want the radials? then i can see a little higher price, but not sure if its that high

 

yeah i am wanting the radial because they say that they ride a lot better than the bias and that price is also mounted and balanced

 

..Just get rid of your fender flares!!

And I believe at some point he eventually broke a spindle, just to warn you.

 

yeah i remember him breaking the spindle but i think he took his truck off road i don't know if that had anything to do with it breaking or not but my truck stay on the street

 

to your first question.. idk about x15 tire on a x8 wheel it seems a little excessive

 

Yea, he broke it on the street too...

I would say get 36's and call it a day, I want 36's so LMK how they do and ride. I mean, I want a regular mud terrain, but for the same price I could have a super swamper...

 

i am going to go with the 39.5 sts's because i went and talked to the guy today and they are brand new never been mounted and i can get them for $500

 

Sweet, cant wait to see pics! I alaways liked the looks of those tires.

Are you going to move to a 10~12" wide wheel since they are 15" wide tires?

 

yes, get the swampers, thats awesome.

 

i went and got them today i will post some pics later. for right now i am goin to stay with a 8in rim but i might move to a 10in later i am just going to see if they fit and ride good first

 

Hey TrXus STS tires are very nice, and VERY GOOD offroad. My friend had a dodge 1500 with 33 inch trxus and I promise you he could offroad better than anybody on this site. Those tires performed very well in any condition.


I can't find any other pics than this on his myspace...but he had them really wide and his truck was unstoppable.

 

better than anybody on this site? dont thick so man

 

i posted some pics in a different thread

He has a shorter wheel base than you dude. You couldn't crest hills that we could drive though.

But you have much bigger tires. I'm not really interested in your ford, I'm on a Ranger website, and I generally mean us rangers.

 

sorry sorry let me even up the playing feild

 

you did bring up the dodge, at least he stayed in the family. like most us rednecks do. according to notherners.

 

heck, you're the one with a jeep

 

He has 2 Rangers and Jeep for a project....

Aaron that is

 

i'm not trying to hand out to big of a cyber wedgey but im not going to hear sombody say a dodge is better than my shat

 

Your truck wouldnt last 2 seconds in the woods with climbs and rocks, that dodge would prolly walk all over your truck. Now in the mud im sure your truck would do better as the STS are prolly one of the worst tires in the mud ever and you have like 7" of tire on him.

 

True, his truck is built for the mud though. Just like taking a truck built for rock crawling in the mud...probably won't get too far in the pit. Esp with those low gear ratio's and some of the tires I've seen used. Anything short of a bogger in the mud basically cakes up. Tractor tires are optimal, but they would either have to be put on at the mud hole or have the truck trailered in.

STS's are probably worst next to the BFG A/T's for mud.

I've seen rob's truck in the mud personally...it's no slow poke thats for sure. He's got plenty of power to turn those 40's and plenty of tread to sling the mud. It gets down and freaking dirty!!!

 

exactly my point, the dodge is a much better all around truck then his ford is.
