TreadWright Guard Dog MT's

Has anybody bought the Guard dogs with the Kedge Grip? Any note worthy Pro's?

I think it would cause shorter tread life.

by **hobbstisdaman** » Sat Sep 01, 2012 8:17 pm

I figured as much. I doubt the increase in traction is enough to balance the shortened life span.

I remember reading somewhere that the kedg does ware faster but it's ideal more places that get more ice

Oh and an update on my guard dogs 315/70/17 they now have about 18000 miles on them and are still wearing great with no problems ,if I had to guess I have close to or slightly more that 3/4 tread left

As soon as the wife's jeep pro comps wear a little more I'll be putting a set on hers also

Good to hear. They will be ordered after my adapters and wheels get on

Ok I'm looking at ordering a set of these. So the question is C or E rating?

I get the kedge with my winter tires, we have a real good amount of ice on our roads here in Wyoming. With that said I don't run the same tires in the summer time so I don't know how the added wear takes place I know it's the only way to go for my winter tires.

I got the kedge in my tires. Basically you end up with a bunch of small pits in the rubber. Supposedly it gives you more traction in inclement weather. I've been driving around for almost a year now and other than pits in the tread I haven't seen any negatives to it.

New Guard dogs, new ORTB stickers, new spacers installed. Slowly coming around. LoL

Looks good... What did you get tire size and load rating?

by **TangoBravo** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 8:41 pm

265/75/16 load range c I believe. Now that you ask Im going to have to double check the load rating.

For the 285/70/17 Are you getting load range D? Robert who did you get to put the tires on? People around here wont touch them

by **TangoBravo** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 8:37 am

I used a local guy. He has a service shop, in california I had trouble getting them put on. But here in Wyoming we dont have any vehicle inspections, your allowed to do pretty much what ever you want. Retreads here are more common as well. You might try telling the shops the tires are DOT approved and show them where its stamped on the tread that helped me in california.

Just filed a warranty claim. Two of mine are showing dry rot cracks starting along rims. Only been on for 6 months.

by **onelow1ton** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 10:54 am

Well that sucks ! Let us know what they say/do please.

by **HARDTRAILZ** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:03 am

Not bad enough to worry about safety but still not something you want in a basically new tire.
