anyone else have experience with the uniroyal laredo m/t in rain or snow?

No exp. in snow, but they are as good as any other unsiped M/T out there in the rain. In the mud traction, in my experience, they are better than the BFG m/t and under the Swamper TSL. I've never used them on an Xterra.
I've used 31's & 33's on two different trucks. I was impressed enough to buy 3 sets over time.

Ok yall have sold me on the Dunlop Rover RT stll looking at the BFG AT as a back up.

looking at tire rack, what is the difference in the top 2? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=Dunlop&model=Radial+Rover+R%2FT

says that "C"is a load rating but no mention of a "C" in the load rating section.

C load range is adequate for the Xterra.

Also, if you are looking for a AT type tire that caost a little less, consider the Pirreli Scorpion AT and the Yokohama Geolander AT II+. Schlud and ChuckH in the PNWX run them and like them alot. Carlton ran the Geolanders at his primary tire for a while too, so he might be able to answer some questions about them.

Of course, these are AT type tires and will not perform in the mud as well at the Dunlop Radial Rover RT's or true MT tread designs.

The first is Load Range C and has black letters on both sides. The second is load range SL and has white letters.
Here's Dunlop's page on the RT: http://www.dunloptire.com/products/tire.html?tire=radial_rover_rt
It has a typo in the heading for the 4th column, it should be max load for passenger car use.
Load ratings explained .

What are you doing looking at the dinky little 235s anyway? Get the 31s!

I dont think everyone hates Generals totally just the stock grabbers. It was decided before the general AT and MT looked like they would be a great improvement. I would just be afraid to buy them after having the grabbers.

Does anyone else think the Dunlop Rover RT's and the Goodyear MTR's tread look simmilar?



Maybe it's just me? The Dunlop tread looks a little tighter...

Very very different. The RT has many more smaller tread elements, and is siped.

Brent

is that good or bad?

my Rover R/Ts should be in next week. i'll give a report as soon as they're "tested"... i am getting 265/75R16s, and they're setting me back $135 each with the works...

here's some info on siping .

I am running Yokohama Geolander A/T II+. I think they are an excellent tire. Their performance on pavement, especially wet pavement, is 100 times better than the stock BFG Longtrails. They work well off road but I haven't had many chance to test them to their full potential. Carlton seemed happy with his set and his opinion was one of the reasons why I went with Yokohama.

Good for the most part. More/smaller elements means better wet traction and more grip in general on firm surfaces like pavement and packed dirt etc. The siping makes a world of difference on wet or wintery surfaces. The big side lugs on the RT help in mud and the like. It's a good compromise.

Ok here is a dumb ? is the Dunlop radial Rover RT the same as the Rover RT?

I'm referring to the Radial Rover RT. Since they don't make a non-radial version, I didn't bother to specify.

N2fireresq, do you know if the AT/S is the same as the older Wrangler Aquatred? To me they look similar. Had the Aquatreds on my old Trooper and liked them a lot in rain, snow, and shallow mud (no heavy off-roading, though). I was considering the AT/S for my X, as well. What size did you have mounted? How have they been on dry pavement compared to your original tires? Thanks for the info!

Hello all. I just joined the site today. I have a 09 Off Road with about 30,000 miles. It's mainly used for highway, but I do take it off road when hunting, and taking trips out to the woods. The BFG's have been ok so far, but I am looking to replace them with a on/off road tire. The tires I have been looking at are the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo2. Has anyone put these on? If so I would like to hear your feedback on them.


Thanks

What BFG do you have right now? if you have a rugged trail, or long trail the revos would be a step up. If you have the TA KO than it would be a step back IMHO.
