Tires & Wheels

I know everyone else has already used, abused, and reviewed the new Goodyear Wrangler MT/R, but that doesn’t mean we still don’t get our turn! I have seen these tires punished pretty bad during the Goodyear Extreme Rock Crawling Series, so I was really eager to see what we could do to destroy, pop, mutilate, or otherwise turn one of …

Bridgestone Corp. has been making rubber-based products such as tires,V-belts, golf balls, rubber hoses and much more since 1931. With the acquisition of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. in 1988, Bridgestone became the largest tire and rubber manufacturer in the world and created its largest subsidiary, Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. With and advertising campaign that boasts “ferocious off-road traction and durability …

Just moments after we gave our ’05 Dodge Ram 2500 a 4″ Superlift vertical adjustment, and right about the time we were getting ready to admire our handiwork, that’s when it hit us. We knew, going into this, that we’d have to stuff the wheel wells with some new meats, but the openings at this point were colossal – as …

For many of us, tires were, and still are the first performance upgrade. But lets face it… not all upgrades really “up-grade” your truck. There are lots of examples out there, where a poor tire-choice actually “down- grades” your rig. If you’ve been one of the poor souls that have made a poor choice, you could be stuck with your …

In an effort to find the best all around tire for our Chevrolet Z-71 4×4 we happened across the new Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo tires. Our Chevy Z-71 truck is used for a multitude of tasks, these include: hunting, fishing, camping, towing, and daily driver. With these varied duties, we needed a tire that could stand up to rough rocky …

  In my never-ending quest to modify all things Jeep, I have recently begun to build a very straight and mostly stock 1980 CJ-7. Although it isn’t my Jeep, I couldn’t stand idly by and let this poor, helpless Jeep live such a boring “OE” life. While not the most aesthetically pleasing of all Jeeps on the planet, the combination …

Interco’s TSL Super Swamper Radial VS. BF Goodrich’s Radial Mud Terrain   Here it is folks, the long awaited tire review that many of you have asked for. We took two of the most popular rock crawling tires on the market and put them to the test. This isn’t a one-person, one-sided review either. We put same-zie tires on similar …

A little bling is never a bad thing and custom wheels, perhaps more than any other modification to a vehicle, can provide dramatic improvements in in both performance and style – the best of both worlds if you will. Our Jeep CJ5 now has more bling than I ever imagined I would put on it, but these new Walker Evan …

Our often used and usually abused tow rig, a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado, was desperately in need of some new tires. On what little tread was left, our old tires were showing their cords and had more curves and cups than a sumo wrestler feasting at Krispy Kreme. We made a call of desperation to Goodyear and were surprised by their …

The first time we bumped into the folks at Allied Wheel Components was at the 2005 SEMA Off Road show in Indianapolis. To be honest, we figured their “new wares” were nothing more than a makeover of the same old beadlock rim you’d find from just about any off-road wheel manufacturer, which seemed to be the case for every other …
