    I voted creepys but a very close second is the Toyos.

      Creepys hands down.


      If not then Iroks. The other two tires shouldn't even be on your list.

            I forgot the why part, creepys are awesome. Have seen them work well in many situations. There's a reason why they are used on competition rigs.

            Iroks also work well but probably not quite as good as the creeps, no need to talk about em. You already got em.

            KM2's are just an old school m/t replacement and I haven't seen them do anything more amazing than my old school bfgs. If your looking at bfg you should be looking at the crawlers.

            Toyos, the only personal experience I have with them is a set of balder ones and they sucked horribly. I have seen others work but still wouldn't rate them any higher than a standard m/t tire.

              Creepys. But buying them new is unrealistic.

              Shop for a used set. I see 35-37" creepys with good tread regularly go for 1000-1500 which is reasonable in my eyes.

              Thats my plan at least.





              My reason? I watch comp rigs on an almost weekly basis with them now, and talk to the teams with em. They do a body good.

                x2 on what will said. find a real good set of used creepys, its the same thing but saves you some green. although those km2's are pretty badass
                No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.

                  creeps, no contest. they are simply a better tire than the other 3.

                    creeps will be my next tire

                    don't flat spot

                    balance like a smaller radial

                    smooth as silk on the street

                    nasty offroad

                    beefiest sidewalls you can get in a tire


                    well worth the price tag

                    call around, i got my creeps from some place in nebraska for $300 a pop. shipping was cheap too

                          they make a 37x14.5 in a sticky. i do know that much.

                          the regular creeps are soft enough though. maybe good for a 100% trailer rig (no 40" krawler red label around town tire)

                              they don't have the same sex appeal

                              and don't look like they come very round.
