MTR Tire Code Deciphering
I thought I was 100% ready to buy BFG MT's for my Toy beadlocks, when I came across two version of MTR's on Sams Club's website today when looking something else up.
They have two version of MTR's in a 35" size. Anyone who has 35's or 33's, take a look at your tire and let me know whhat you have. I'm wondering if the cheaper ones are weaker. I'm guessing the speed rating is different??
35X12.50R15C 113P BSL
Item: 845105
$ 181.88
OR
35X12.50R15 113R OWL
Item: 657467
$ 191.62
Any compelling reason not to look at the cheaper one?

check out the selection and prices on all of them. I do not work for them. Just think they have great prices...

I do not have your answer. However, based on my experience the BFG's do not last as long as the MTR's. I only got about 20k out of my BFG's. This past weekend I saw a set of MTR's with 30k that looked like they could last for 30k more, no kidding.

I think the more expensive one has white lettering on one side, the cheaper one is just black on both sides.
For what its worth, I got 4 brand new 35" MTRs to my door (from Ca to Tn) for $630. I found a dealer on ebay and he gave me a good price.

The two differences you are seeing are the speed rating and the color of the lettering.
P = 93 MPH rating
Q = 99 MPH rating
BSL = black lettering on the sidewall
OWl = outside white lettering
The only reason to buy the more expensive is if you plan on running near 100mph. If you can run a Toyota with 35" MTR's at 100 mph, you da man!!!
