lookng for recommendations for a 31" tire for my Wrangler. Any thought on the maxxis big Horn? it is 65 on road and 35 off road thanks I don't know if B F Goodrich sponsors the Score Baja 1000, but one hundred percent of those driver use them. And I have been for the last twenty years with great luck, and I can hear my stereo again. Maybe there's something on you Horns at: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ORAT God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > lookng for recommendations for a 31" tire for my Wrangler.

Maxxis tires generally have good traction but wear quickly. That said, it probably wears no more quickly than any other aggressive knobby. Are those tires made in Red China? >> lookng for recommendations for a 31" tire for my Wrangler.

Cooper has a piece of three different tire companies in China. Some Bridgestone, Goodyear, Toyo, Michelin, etc. tires are also made in China. China now has 70 modern tire factories, of which 40 are owned and operated by "foreign" tire companies such as Yokohoma or Han Kook. That's a lot of tires that used to be made in Japan or the U.S. or Korea or Taiwan now being made in China... >>> Are those tires made in Red China? >> > Many Cooper tires are now made in China. Cooper has a piece of three > different tire companies in China. Actually, it's two, Cooper Chengshan, and Cooper Shandong, and they are distributors, not manufacturers, acquired in Feb, 2006. Cooper tires are manufactured in the USA in several plants, and there is one manufacturing plant in Melksham, England, where they manufacture tyres sold in Europe. There are other distributors in China, in: Baotou, Changchun, Guiyang, Kunming, Lanzhou, Liuzhou, and Nanchang. In Shanghai they are in Wuhan, Wulu Muqi, Xiamen, and Zahang Jiagang , and in other places around the world, but they are not "made" in China. They are also sold as: Avon, Mastercraft, Dean, Starfire, Kenda, and Oliver. Cooper is truly one of the last "Made in America" Brands. I used to sell them, in 13 stores in my old region. Spdloader > Are those tires made in Red China? Cheng Shin is a Taiwanese company. They have been selling tires here in the United States for many years, though they are most famous for cheap (and very slippery when wet) motorcycle tires here in the United States. I had Cheng Shin tires on my motorcycle back in the 1970's and cursed them every time it rained. They do have a factory on the mainland now, but I do not know if they make any auto tires there. I believe they only make their low-end motorcycle and bicycle tires there, but it's hard to tell until you actually read the label on the side. >>> lookng for recommendations for a 31" tire for my Wrangler.

Any > thought on the maxxis big Horn? it is 65 on road and 35 off road > > thanks Hi there, I have been using 31*10,5 R15 maxxis MT 754 Buckshot mudder for the last 5 years and it has no grip at all when it rains on the highway. I would recommend them for offroading because they are dirt cheap so you don't at all worry about ripping bits off. My friends are using Goodyear wranglers, bridgestones etc and i never got stuck because i had cheap tires, they get stuck because they have rubbish land rovers ha ha ha. I drive the jeep mostly off the road so the rain on the highway is not a big deal for me. But if you will be driving yours all the time don't go for maxxis. When you hit the brakes you just don't know when and where you are gonna end up. Goodyear wranglers have excellent performance on wet tarmac though.
