Tire guys

Looking some some narley yet small 15in tires for winter, some real diggers that will tear up the ice n snow.

beyond what I can find on tirerack and stuff, maybe someone gets into off road or 4 wheeler stuff and can recc something???

doesn't need to carry allot of load, just can't be to big.

something to fit on a 15x8 rim but with bite from hell.

something I can swap from truck, to wagon to firebird and know it will fit,
yes I said firebird too.

Its a terror in winter if I got bite with the stick.

Re: Tire guys

Found these but the sizing can't be right.

not DOT but don't care, they will only be on when the streets arent plowed.

15 x 5.00-6

Re: Tire guys

This should also fit the firebird in 235/75 15 size--should fit a 15x6,7,8 rim: Which generation firebird?

http://www.maxxis.com/AutomobileLigh...ot-Mudder.aspx


Note that i don't know jack about 4x4/off roading etc., but i've heard/read good things about the buckshot radial mudders. Plus, just looking at them they seem very serious.


Will provide more info i have time, which i may not.

Update: ok i saw you have a 3rd gen firebird, this should still fit, but you realize that the bolt pattern is different on the wagon?

Re: Tire guys

I have been satisfied with the performance of the off branded Cooper made Arctic Claw TXi.

They are studable, and have good bare/dry road manners as well. Not too pricey and seem to be wearing very well.
The ones on my truck have 3 winters on them, and my car has 1 winter so far (obviously I liked them enough to put them on another vehicle), with plenty of life left in them yet.

Re: Tire guys

Thanks for the tips

And C-10 simplex
I got my own HF tire changer, and a few sets of dual bolt rims.

Im always swaping something around, just can't balance em yet.
Though its only $13 to get 2 tires balanced at walmart.
