Rallyru Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 What's everyone's favorite off road tire? Personal experience story's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Im on my 3rd set of Super Swampers TSLs best in the mud and roots, for a all around on and off road the Maxxis Bighorn MTs are my favorite , the swampers wear faster and are softer, Id go with a new set of bighorn MTs 235/75-15 http://www.sjrlift.com/images/stories/virtuemart/product/bumper%20ea82%20corner%20sjr.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm a big fan of the BFG ATs. On my toyotas they've outlived other brands by about 2 to 1. They're a good both off/on road tire. General Grabbers have also performed well. it's tough to go wrong when putting big tires on Subarus though. Since the subies are much lighter than the trucks/SUVs that they were intended for the tread life seems to last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espey_16 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I second the bighorns, I had a set on my last Subaru and they did great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The size that goes best with your power train. A nice 27 inch tire. You pick the tread. Aiming for mud? Rocks? Snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically anything "AT" is gonna suck in the mud. Bighorns are the best bang for buck on the subies. 27x8.50x14 bias ply (or other size) Interco Swampers are probably the very best for maximum offroad ability, money not an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud is where you'll have the most traction problems, you want mud tires for mud. I've tried Hankook and BFG mud tires in 215/75/15. The Hankooks are actually about 1" wider and I think I prefer the way they handle, but I haven't had the BFGs long and really haven't tried them in soft mud yet.

scalman Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) BFG TA KO'2 they so bad that looks almost as Mud tires and perform really good all seasons. at least for those who have all seasons as i do . in snow they goes like tank with help of VDC traction control , in sand it just floats on sand as boat even without much deflating, on mud they goes as much as engine goes, they don't dig into mud let car go over it . i'm amazed really what these tires do. and then go to shoping , long trips on highways no problem. they not too loud for trips as well. and everybody look at them for me off road is not just mud. its all kind of roads.

Rallyru Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 I currently have Maxxis Bighorns and I love them. But I think my next set will be some Super Swamper TSL’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 they are out of production now, but if you can find a set still, I really like the Yokohama Geolander MT directional mud tires. For snow tires I am run 31x10.50 Dean Wintercat on the big wheeler, and Nokian studded snows on my stock Forester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
