Trapping rig tires - 11/12/20 01:21 AM

Been needing a new set of tires for my trapping truck.I only drive it during hunting and trapping season so figured I could get a little picky with the tires I want to run. There is a tire I used to have a set of on a truck I drove back in high school. I really wanted another set to run on my trapping truck a few years back but couldn't find any and was told they didn't make em anymore so gave up and settled for some sub par tires.well got to needing tires again and did alot of looking and found some! Best tire I had ever ran for off road.

Yep gateway buckshot mudders!Co-op grip spurs had the same tread pattern also. Lots of people used to run em back in the day they where awsome. They got to where you couldn't find em anymore for a long time. Excited to be able to find a set. They started makeing them again in limited runs.

31×9.50-15 they are going on a stock 1992 toyota pickup. Those tires u got look awsome! I'm just partial to the old bias plys. Nestalgia I guess. But they will still go as good today as they did back then

I like wranglers but I haven't seen any with tread this deep!

If you'd go 10.50 instead of 9.50 you'd find a lot more options.

Yes Grip Spur tires are tough to balance if I remember correctly a bubble balancer worked best on them , some friends ran them on many of there off road hunting pickups I also thought they were discontinued but was pleasantly surprised to see them offered again . Having to chain up is pretty much a thing of the past with them ha ha !

I used to run them on a 3/4 ton 4x4. People would call me to go pull them out!! I like them. Supper swampers are good too!

Cheap, but the worst tires I ever ran for miles. They were worn out very quickly and even with rotation every 5K they formed lugs and made the ride terrible. They were good as far not getting flats but bad if you want them to last. Coopers AT3's were the worst tires I ever used for getting flats. I always buy LT tires (10ply) but the Coopers had a dozen flats in the first year, pure junk IMO. If you are ok with the Kendas, buy Thunderers and you'll really be impressed for about the same money.

Might give them a try, we just run Kendas on the ranch pickups. They see very little highway and dont seem to wear to bad here, my good pickups all are sporting Duratracs that I really like besides the price.

I tried Ironman 10 ply AT's this season. At @ $125 a piece I can afford to buy some more. However, they've performed flawlessly. Down the highway and in the field.

We switched over to Cooper STT Pro's on our Tacoma's for all around use. They are a great tire and one of the few made in U.S.A
