The biggest problem with Interco tires is the stiff sidewall. You need to run them at really low psi to get a good tread patch and that often requires beadlocks.

I was really hoping for a good report on the Maxxis tires. Their 38x13x15 Creepy Crawler would fit my needs perfectly.

I really want a 38 x 13.50 x 15 MT/R, but I don't think they are going to make a set just for me 😥

I used to wheel a lot. . .

They'd (Goodyear) probably tell me - what Jeep told you - when you asked them about running some different colors.

HA! I have the e-mail saved from them. Let me quote:

We do our best to be sensitive to the needs and expectations of consumers and continuously look for ways to improve our product offerings. We mainly rely on our worldwide employees, affiliate
suppliers, and creative agencies to devise and develop innovations.

Hmmm, don't see customers listed in that response... 😯
Goodyear can't be that bad!
