P1000 DOT vs. NHS tires

[RLovgren]

I am looking for a reasonably priced SxS tire rated for highway use. The problem I am running into is understanding the rating standards the tires company use. I assumed that all DOT rated tires were suitable for highway use but my local tire store showed me tires that had a DOT rating but also stated that they were not suitable for highway use. I remember that one set of BF Goodrich tires said this, among others. If anyone could clarify this for me I would appreciate it.

If anyone has a recommendation for a satisfactory highway rated tire, I would appreciate it. I am hoping to find tires that might be cheaper than Tusk Terrabites or Kanati Mongrels.

Thanks, Randy

Say what? Highway use?
What highway are u planing on driving on? Im assuming u mean just road use?

Anyway, if your driving “the road”
Just buy std DOT LT tires and your good. Plenty of threads on this in the search above that ive talked at length as many others about this and types. Basically pic your poison on brand.

Whatever u buy/decide what to do, make sure u come back here and tell us and for God sakes man post pics!

"highway use" was a poor choice of words. I will take your advice and research the appropriate threads and I will follow up with some pics - Thanks

I recently made the switch to LT tires for at home use.

If you need wheels, highlifter is still on sale for the falcon ridge brand.

Highlifter Sale

Highlifter has a sale going on with some good deals. I saw some decent falcon wheels for around $80 each. You can apply a 10% off code on top of the wheels for sale. A set of 4 could run you $295. NOTE: Technically Honda uses a 4x136 lug pattern. Many people have had good luck using 4x137. Use...

Post #151 is what I did.
P1000m5 - The Robo Build

I have the 15x7 Falcon Ridge Raptor 4/137 5+2 with the Achilles Desert Hawk MT 30x9.50r15.

I use 1.5" spacers on the front, the 2" spacers on the rear. I have the C-Fab control arms with lift.
