Re: Stock Tires

I run a lot of highway miles but like to play hard when I hit the dirt.. So I went thru four sets of tires last year.. 1st the stock MT21.. love how they handle the off road but they wear quickly on the street. They were very worn when I replaced them at 2000 miles. Next was the Kenda Big Block. I was not impressed. seems like it was a better road tire then the MT21 but terrible offroad. I replaced them after 2700 miles & they were quit worn. Next was the Metzeler Karoo 3. This is a much better road tire then either previous & I was pretty happy with its off road ability as well. I got 3400 miles on the 1st rear & 3600 on the 2nd rear. Both could have gone a bit farther. The front still looked fair after 7000 miles. This is the tire for me & I plan to put on another set this winter. They are also dirt cheap. A set can be had for $175.
Nut up or shut up!
