So...I am not an OB baller...need to wrap my jeep cherokee with some new rubber asap...this jeep is a daily driver to my job 10 minutes from home...it gets a lot of use in the woods and the beach...

I'm looking at going with some cheaper asian tires..i.e. the Nankang Mudstar or the Kenda Klever M/T...


any thoughts? below are some pics

Nankang


Kenda

never heard of either, but as a DD the second one probably suits you better.

Are in the rocks or mud more in the woods

Maxxis makes a cheap mud tire, but they don't last very long.
