Moab xl's are a good tyre for dry rock but they suck in wet condition's.

Moab are pretty much the same as moab xl's as the Moab tyre is a bit wider.

my dad runs moab xl's on his torsion truck and i run moab tyres on my stick truck and there isn't really much difference performance wise.

if you want a good alround tyre then Masher 2000's is a good choice.

i don't know about any other tyres as we only have these three types of tyres to compare

Regards

james

if it is between those choices go with mashers for 2.2 only cause you will find that with only a 12.5 inch wheelbase the big ol tires will make you flip backwords and sideways plus you'll have to change your gearing

Rockmike, im going red rocks maybe, I like the tallness, plus it seems around kennewick theres alot of jagged rocks! I think they will hook up good! Mashers should too tho! But for bashing Id like to have some big *** tires!



No I wont make it.

i had my moabs 2.2 on my xrc 14" wb and it was okey, then tried a set of red rocks and i was impressed how well they worked on my rig, although the moabs are stickier then the imex, the rr work better with my wb.

I would also recomend Red Rocks. I have some that I run with Maxx size Masher foams and they work pretty well. Now the truck I run them on is VERY heavy! So for a lighter truck you should probably run less of a foam.

Hey Spence, if I'm able to make a GTG before you buy anything, I'll bring my Redrocks for you to try out. I am not responsible for any axles that you break though. I really like mine in the deep snow. I think they would also be killer mud tires, but I have no desire to get in the muck.
Mine are not stock though


Here is a pic that shows them next to some tires about the same height as your geos

They are a lot of tire for TLT axles.

I just put my m2k's back on after running the redrocks in the snow, and they even seem small now .
