4.19 KLR MTX vs MT vs AT
 
I am building a tube frame rock crawler and will end up around 9 to 10 pounds.
I know I want to run some 4.19 KLR tires but not sure which of the three will work best. I run about 90% of the time on granite.
Has anyone run these on granite and which would you recommend?

Proline hyrax predator compound.

Next question is, what foams?

Not a fan of Proline. Ran several G8 tires and tried a truck with predator compound. Never worked the way I want in my terrain.

I will only run KLR or Pitbull.

I have ran 4.19 KLR MTs on granite quite a bit. Ran the inner stage only of the 4.5 CI two stage foams. The MTs worked fine for me. The MTX only has slightly more lug spacing and a bit more siping if I remember right.

From experience running a less aggressive tread/lug pattern works much better on high traction surfaces. Aggressive tread/lugs naturally cause up and down movement. I know the movement is minimal but a smoother pattern keeps your tires planted smooth.... Let the compound do the work... Hope my gibberish makes since..

I'm shocked to hear KLR works better than Pitbull on the granite you mention. Blown away, in fact.

Pitbull now has some 4.19" tires. Did you consider those?

I agree 100%.
