Part #: None
I would have gone with a set of MT/R's, but I was running low on the funds, so I decided to go with a less expensive tire. I had read the review on the Mud Rovers and noticed that they stacked up quite well against the MT/R's. Now the Mud Rover does give up some things to the MT/R tread depth, and overall diameter. When they arrived I got to see the tags on them. Made by GOODYEAR, I like that. They run surprisingly quiet for something their size, I expected a lot more noise than my MT/R's, but there wasn't. The tires still felt very solid underneath, but you could tell that a few bumps were smoother. Oh I did decide to go with the 315's vice the 305's. Price difference wasn't that much, just a couple dollars so I figured I would.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
