by far the best tires ever made for offroading !! THIS IS NO BULLSHIT.. I bought 5 new 33x12.5 gateway mudders in 1976 for my toyota landcruiser when i bought it off the lot new, 163,000 miles later they are still holding air and have about a half inch of tread left. THATS 34 YEARS of road and trails !!!! i have boggers on my new mud truck (1978 landcruiser), and they do out perform the gateways for going ahead, but boggers WILL NOT back you out of a mudhole like the gateways will !!! I SWEAR THAT THE OLD MONSTER MUDDERS ARE AND WILL BE THE GREATEST MUD TIRE EVER MADE !!

in 1975 my dad seen a set of gumbows at the louisana state fair and liked the way thay iooked so he ordered four 35 tryed them and liked them. my dad ran a tire shop over hear in east texas so he got hooked up with gateway and stocked 4 of ever size from h/78/15-38/15.5/15. every time a new tire would come out he would try them but allways came back to gumbow. 23 years i was working at a tire shop and had access to all the tires a boy could wount i would try firestones brigstone cooper centinial remmington swomper watever i could get my hands on the most disappointed ive ever ben was with a set of 36/?/16.5 boggers on 10 inch wills i put them on sat. after work sunday after noon i had my QR/78/15 buck shots back on i later lifted my truck more and put a set of 40/17/15 gumbow monster mudders on 14/15 inch whills and havent tried a tire that will go like the old still gumbow or buck shots i now have my dad's 77 sort bed stelpsid chevy with the 40's i got in 97. note thay ben on road very little sence the first of 2000. Ps. i rated it a 9 because in cold wether thay will flat spot but after thay get warmed up there fine. THE TRICK TO BALANCING THESE AND OTHER BIASTED TIRES IS TO DRIVE THEM 5-10 MILES TO WARM THEM BEFORE THE DEALER BALANCES YOUR TIRES. Try it you will have less bounce then taking a cold tire and balancing it.

Grip better than anything else.
|

Cons:

Watch about knocking off of rim when aired down.
|

I ran Maxxis Bighorns for over a year and they did fine. UNTIL, I put these thing on the Samurai. Now I have to watch it or it will climb things maybe I should not. Also, I recently opened the little grooves to 3/8 wide and now it is like a knobby on a motorcycle. Barnes Tire in Jasper, Tennessee, 423-942-9411 sell them, I bought mine there.

This is an update to earlier post where I put the wrong phone numer for the tire store I bought mine.
I ran Maxxis Bighorns for over a year and they did fine. UNTIL, I put these thing on the Samurai. Now I have to watch it or it will climb things maybe I should not. Also, I recently opened the little cross grooves to 3/8 wide and now it is like a knobby on a motorcycle. Barnes Tire in Jasper, Tennessee, 423-942-4074 sell them, I bought mine there. Ask for Richard and tell him Joey sent you.

I've used Gateway brand tires since 1977 on Landcruisers, Dodge P/U, and Jeeps as far as I'm concerned they don't make a better offroad tire. I have never had a problem with them.
|
|
Cons:
|
They are loud, but I don't care. What I understand they went backrupt and are not making them at this time. I need a set and I guess they are gone.
|
|
I have used them on just about everything and they are the best, especially in muddy ruts. The lugs on the side that make so much noise grab when you try to climb out of the ruts or need extra traction while in the rut. Watch those thumbs when it grabs the steering wheel is going to spin, drive thumbs out. I used them in the hills of SE Tennessee, swamps of middle and south GA, and the swamps of NE Arkansaw and I've never been showed up by better tires. I understand Coker Tires want to make them, cross your fingers. The set I have now is over 15yrs old and still have tread.

twitchy bias ply handling, cold temp flat spots

I actually have the Co-op Grip Spur, but I didn't see an option here for that tire. It is virtually the same tire. Mine are an L78-15 built on a bias ply carcass with a "C" load rating. The bias construction has cost me 1-2 mpg, but I have gained a smoother(yet louder) ride compared to the old BFG AT's which came on my 70 K1500. I can also go place I never thought possible with this truck....even with open diffs front and back. These tires excel in loam, clay, mud,rocks, and goo. All the stuff most trails around the Blue Ridge region consist of. I have driven them through boggy slop hole that put water and mud over the top of the wheel wells and they pulled me through with ease. Same with gooey VA clay mixed with pond slime/mud that was hub deep. Chunky sharp granite and shale has not cut them or chunked the tread and the sidewalls are tough as iron. At the time of purchase, I was told that there were only 5 tires left in the east coast inventory beyond my set. I suppose if enough people sent mail/email/calls to the Co-op association, they might see about ordering another run....until that happens, the future looks bleak.

Can anyone tell me where they ordered theirs recently? I really need to order some sometime this year. Gateway tires are much much better than the Maxxis version. Period. Ok4wd doesn't appear to carry these currently btw.
