Very Informative. I was always under the impression that Maxxis was a smaller, American Company. Oh well, the more you know.

Your crazy if anything but KM2's, projects or closed course tires end up on that thing

I also can't believe this went unnoticed.

KRTs are the krawlers with no sidelugs right? At least thats what the site says. I would rather have krawlers honestly for what i do. KRTs would be great on a desert truck more than an ultra 4 rig. But this is just an armchair ultra 4 driver talking

KRT's are gnarley sticky, like red label krawler compound.

The tread pattern has wayyyyy more surface area too, i think out west on dry slick rock they are perfect, but out here idk.... such different environments, i'd be willing to say krawlers do better out east.... but just like you, armchair driver.. for a little while longer anyways.

broken, leaking and beat to hell. you're welcome

[HeavyMetal]

speaking of mall crawler...

i decided to do a bit of a "looks" mod after all this other stuff ive been doing..mainly because it was cheap, easy, and since i got these new crystal headlight housings with the HIDs...

the old signals with the fluted lens were rockin it vintage style...

i bought some "STREET TUNEZ" crystal lights...clear style...but since i dont dig the clear front look, i bought some clear plastic model spray paint with it in the orange variety

Looked like this with the clears


then after i painted it up (damn spray came 2 days later) voila, matches headlights

[wannabejeep]

those HID's any good with those housings?

[HeavyMetal]

Well theyre certainly not projector status but they are a vast improvement over the "oil lanterns" that are normally xj headlights, they have a nice wide pattern to light up the road sides...their reach isnt ridiculous, but it works out because i didnt want obnoxious headlights that blind people anyway....thats what the rest of the lights on my jeep are for, Lol

but yes, id call them a vast improvement over stock

MAXXIS is the american subsidiary for nankang tire co. which I believe is out of tiawan.
They used to make bike tires (think BMX) and I remember when maxxis came out for that.
looks like from their website that the creepys are made in shanghai china. at least from what I can tell.

Im sorry, Im going to have to take part of this back. It is not Nankang. It is Cheng-Shin that I was thinking. They used to make the bicycle tires that you would buy at k-mart etc.
I have thought that Nankang was part of the Cheng-Shin rubber company but I cant find anything to prove that.
