subaruguru Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Ok so i was puttigna tranny in a dodge the oter day at work when like a 1930s jeep and the first thing i noticed was the tires they ar 15-inch NDT military tires. They are antiques now but they sell new ones and they are only 79 dollers a pop so i was thinking they are PERFECT for subarus (off road ones) because of the trad pattern and how narrow they are let me know what you guys think.

Phizinza Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Personally, I like wide tires. But I have seen some road legal (in Aus anyhow) tractor tires mounted to 14" subie rims that looked pretty narly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrap487 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I had considered using them for a time... dont have any experiance with them but from what I've heard is they suck in mud, they will just dig you trenches till you high center, and they arent much better in snow and slick, not very good lateral traction? I dunno, but, on the plus side, I'd think they'd be a really tough tire which is what I seem to need when conditions are dry and dusty. I ended up going with 29.50x10.5x15r TSL/SX... they are really sweet for a light subie, tons of traction and fairly tough - I usually run out of oomph to push them with before I really loose traction, although its been about a year since i've driven on them. Although I put the TSL/SXs on a nissan 720 though and I had some problems because it is quite a bit heavier, they are also quite a bit more destructive to the ground(will turn a relatively healthy, frozen, moist meadow to crap in no time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinksock Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 well they would be perfect I think, Because when it come's to snow or mud it's all about ppsi (pounds per square inch) and those would put alot of weight on the ground, I say GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!

zyewdall Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 According to some people offroading the duece and a halfs, the stock NDT tires suck in the snow -- rounded lugs don't grab anything. Someone called them non directional travel tires... Those trucks apparently have massive understeer too, so I'm not sure how much of the problem is that. Under the right conditions they'd probably be pretty good though. They look pretty tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I looked at military type/jeep tires for my Loyale and decided they weren't for me. (read hydroplaning), instead I went for 215/85/16's with nice deep lugs for $100 a pop, radial, load range E (10 ply). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
