Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
This is probably a stupid question, but I've got to ask. I just got a
TJ with MT/R's. I'm guessing that you need to swap the tires from
side to side when rotating them in order to get better tread life. In
the old days I rotated tires with the right front to the left rear,
and so on, and the spare was also rotated, but on newer cars with
radial tires I've been told not to do that and to keep the tires on
the same side they were on and just swap the front and rear. What's
the proper rotatoin for the MT/R's?
Thanks.

Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
Check your owners manual.
Both my CJ7 and my Cherokee's owners manuals say to rotate 4 tires, just
go front to back, no crossing.
To rotate in the spare, it goes on the right rear (main wear tire) right
rear to right front and right front back to spare. The left still
always goes back to front.

Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
Hi Carl,
Both good tires. GY MT/R will be a bit more quiet on the daily drive.
BFG MT will pull a bit better in the mud. GY MT/R is said to have a
better grip on slick rock. BFG MT can be siped to improve grip.
I've got BFG MT. Work great for me on daily drive and forest trails.
Gonna boost an inch or two to fit those tires? For more clearance in
front, use tin snips to cut the leading part of the front fenders and
flares in a straight line flush with the bottom of the head lights:
http://xjeep.dyndns.org/frontleft.jpg
http://xjeep.dyndns.org/xjfront.jpg
Discard the crappy plastic spoiler that hangs under the bumper. Secure
the leading flaps of the wheel well liners to the inside of the bottom
side of the bumper using tie wraps in the existing bumper holes.
If you need fender clearance in back, remove and discard the liners
under the rear flares and snip away the sheet metal below the pinch
seam, especially lower rear section:

Discard the crappy plastic spoiler that hangs under the bumper. Secure
the leading flaps of the wheel well liners to the inside of the bottom
side of the bumper using tie wraps in the existing bumper holes.
If you need fender clearance in back, remove and discard the liners
under the rear flares and snip away the sheet metal below the pinch
seam, especially lower rear section:

Both good tires. GY MT/R will be a bit more quiet on the daily drive.
BFG MT will pull a bit better in the mud. GY MT/R is said to have a
better grip on slick rock. BFG MT can be siped to improve grip.
I've got BFG MT. Work great for me on daily drive and forest trails.
Gonna boost an inch or two to fit those tires? For more clearance in
front, use tin snips to cut the leading part of the front fenders and
flares in a straight line flush with the bottom of the head lights:

Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
Hi Lee,
Most tire specialists will recommend same side rotation for radials.
With my current set of MTs I chose instead to do a five tire cross
rotation like this:
SPARE->RR
RR->RF
RF->LR
LR->LF
LF->SPARE
I rotate religiously every 5000 km and I have had zero issues with
uneven wear.
