k-rocks or bft's

[spookyseven]

which ones have best grip?

a stock k rock vs. a stock bft
a cut k rock vs. a cut bft

[4RnrRick]

From everything I've read BFT's are better, but I haven't tried either one....

[Team-FSU]

BFT all the way! even stock they crawl fearly well and are soft! k-rocks really dont have much for traction, good sidewalls but need alot of work to be worth while

[T-Man]

My LST's have better bite than both of those tires. They are both pretty hard from what I have seen, and they need alot of work to get them any other way.

Tman you are nuts. BFT's are the perfect compound. LSTs work good but here in NorCal its BFTs all the way. LSTs are too soft. My BFTs don't show much wear but Badgers LSTs are showing tons of wear in less time.

WEll, I may be Nuts, but they don't work all that well out here unless you start grooving them like crazy. WE'll see how they work against a set of LST's this weekend. texrok runs the BFT's and he likes them. I am just going by what I have, and what I run. I don't know anything about rccrawling out in Cali, I am in Texas. In Texas, OK, and ARkansas, the BFT's are not that great.

So, am I Nuts..... Maybe, if you don't like the truth.

so i take it bft's are better than k-rocks. thanks for the help guys

[TwistedCreations]

yes the bfts would be better.. but it all depends on the terrain your in..my BFt's dont do bad, but would do alot better cut up..but my LST's just stomp a mudhole in the BFTs but do show more wear.. owell, i will just keep buying LST's

BTW I just relized you are from POR ......

so heres a :beer: & for ya....

This has been said over and over again. It really depends on where you crawl, as rckjeep said the BFT's are better then the LST's here in nor-cal IMO.

That does not mean the LST's are bad it's just that cut BFT's have proven to be better in many situations, and the BFT's compound lasts MUCH longer then the soft LST compound.

So they don't work well in TEXAS??????? What crack pipe are you smokin' dude. They've kicked your ass everytime haven't they?

And when the hell did tires start caring what state they were in? I usually try not to respond to most of the crap you say, but I could help this one.

I'd better be careful I don't want to get the whole tire issue started again.

Good choice Spookyseven, I think you'll like the BFT's

[SR5Dave]

I love my BFTs

[CSR]

My cut K-rocks have worked good everywhere that I've run them. I chose the K's over MGT's because everybody was either running LST's or MGT's, I wanted something different. ;)

State makes a HUGE difference. From state to state your rock type and terrain varies. Where CSR has smaller rocks, where the aggressive K-Rocks can bite, I have slickrock, and I need a soft compound tire. The CO guys like the Moabs, and we've learned they don't work out here very well. Etc. State makes a big difference. I'd probably love the K-Rocks if I were still in CA due to lots of loose stuff and sharp pointy rocks.

[rckjeep]

I like those cut krocks. they look sweet. My cut BFT's are awesome everywhere. Here in cali we have so many different types of rock its crazy. Theres granite and quartz and uh a bunch of other types of rock that I can't name. I'm no geologist. Anyway. I'd like to get some K-Rocks and cut them like you did. looks awesome Chris

[Texrok]

SR5dave, I know what you're saying about different terrain types from state to state. I was just trying to be funny when I said that the tires don't care what state they are in.

Actually the BFT's do great in Texas. I ran them today and they did just great. Those pics of the K rocks do look great.

I did laugh, but I wanted to toss that out there

[CSR]

I hauled my junk down to Alabama to run those boys today..... the K-rocks didn't work worth a crap down there. On the clean, dry rocks they did OK, mix in some wet sand and I would have been as well off with a set of slicks.
