Need opinions on Pro Comp Mud Terrains - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1969k10stepside · 03-02-2007, 12:15 AM

Well,I was intending to buy BFGs but found some Pro Comp m/ts for sale.They are 315/75/R16. I assume they will fit on my 16x10s,will they?I dont know metric to well

Anyway they have about 5k miles on them and are in good shape.What do y'all think I should offer for all 4 of the tires?
Any negative things about them to be said,or good? How long do they last on the road,near 40-50k?,less?

That metric size converts to 34.6 x 12.4 inches (basically a 35 x 12.50) it should be perfect on your 10" wheel....I have a buddy that ran a set of Pro Comp m/t's on a 87 'burb, he liked 'em. got about 40,000 on the highway and didn't make a lot of noise. I drove it on the Interstate up to 80mph for about 60 miles and it drove great, no roadwalking, but it did vibrate a bit probably due to balancing issues (he didn't want any ugly lead weights on his pretty rockcrusher wheels)

here's where to find a good metric to standard tire size conversion calculator

I'm been running pro-comp's on my burb 30x10.50 MT'S bought them from a friend for 80 bucks,prolly had almost half the tread and been running for three years and no problems they have just a little roar but nothing to complain about,I just bought 4 33x12.50x15's AT's off of ebay for 545.97,free shipping,equals about 136.00 a tire not bad for that size.

my experience with the procomp mud terrains was not that great, they are a bit louder than bfgs mud terrians and also do not wear that great. i personally wouldnt buy a set of procomp mt but thats just my opini0n.

**special-K** · 03-02-2007, 05:35 PM

No tire worth a damn offroad is quiet.It comes with the territory.I don`t understand everyone.That`s what I love about 4wds:Tires hummin`,suspension pouncin`,and exhaust rumblin`.It`s like dim lights,thick smoke,and loud loud music.That`s just a bar.

*1tonswb* · 03-02-2007, 05:43 PM

I would never buy another set. I got 24,000 miles out of them.

1969k10stepside · 03-02-2007, 05:45 PM

34 is a good size for my shortbed with the 4/6" lift,somewhere in between a 33 and 35 so maybe there wont be any rubbing with them off road,like it will ever see the mud...

**special-K** · 03-02-2007, 06:25 PM

315/75x16 are the same as 12.50/35x16.I dont carewhat the actual conversion is metric to SAE.That`s just what they are.All actual measurements vary from tire design to tire design and mfgr to mfgr.They`re just 12.50/35s,plain and simple.

1969k10stepside · 03-02-2007, 06:45 PM

34,35s.... as long as I dont have to trim my fenders for them to go under the truck and not rub I will be happy.

**special-K** · 03-02-2007, 07:35 PM

I hear ya.Just wanted to rub the technicality out of it.It`s plain and simple.If you found a deal,you`re 1/2 way there.They`d be better in mud than any All Terrain.And whatever M/T that may be better or whatever doesn`t really matter if you`re not selecting from the full field and paying full price.They`re difinately a good enough tire and as mentioned somewhere else,they`re good ol` Coopers.

1969k10stepside · 03-03-2007, 11:58 AM

Well,Im going to go there today and look at them.He wants 450 for them,I am going to offer him somewhere in betweem 375 and 400.Does that sound good?

**special-K** · 03-04-2007, 12:41 PM

Trust in the force,Luke.In the force you will find your answer.

1969k10stepside · 03-04-2007, 01:35 PM

And $450 takes it.......
Now just to get the tires on the rims and the rims on the chassis and the chassis under whats left of the body of the old 71 shortbed....

RANDY COX · 03-04-2007, 03:28 PM

Luke has a plan,do it I know you can.

1969k10stepside · 03-07-2007, 12:52 PM

Picking up the rims & tires later today...As soon as I get some lugnuts I will be able to put them on the 71
