Like the looks of the Extra Grip a lot and for 65 each very cheap http://stonetire.com/store/extra_grip/ used to have a set something like the Extra Grips on a 2 wheel drive 53 International Pickup and it would go anywhere these would work maybe for 63 bucks each http://stonetire.com/store/otd/ throw them on a set of old stock steel wheels and go out and tear up the mud! couldn't get the picture to come up

I have to get out of Ohio where you have to drive 5/6 hours or more even to get to a little hole in the wall off road park, then I can get cool wheels / tires ....SFA

Ahhh, the creepy crawlers. Possibly the best off road tire out there, nice wheels too. There are a lot of good beadlocks out there to choose from too. |

The Hutchinson beadlocks are DOT approved,balance-able,and a double internal beadlock rim(both beads held,not just the outside one).No other bead lock rim has those features,plus no trips to the tire store for mounting.The only other close are the stuans but to much hassle for leaky tires. |

Yep, but we were talking off road only gear right? |

Why get a DOT approved wheel if its for trail only. Seems like a waste of money. |

The Hutchinsons don't protect your hubs as well as other beadlocks out there. Which isn't that big of a deal because the ones that really do can be a pain to get on and off a jeep. Aren't the AEV beadlocks DOT approved too? I prefer these myself because they are as close as I can find to be a good compromise of everything, but I'd be happy with either.

My g-friend bought some Threadwright tires and they aren’t bad at all for daily driving. But then again the Stone tires might not actually be made for daily driving. I couldn’t see myself buying an additional set of tires for trails only, unless I had a true off road vehicle (with SFA). Not knocking on the Liberty. But that is one heck of a deal for tires. |
