New 35 mickey thompson ttc

Great tires, I would be running them on Mr. Blue if I didn't have to buy 2 spares due to the directional pattern. If I decide to go the duel spare route when I get the body lift, swap in some 4:56s and go up to 37s the TTCs will be first choice!

Unless you are going to rotate in the spare(s), you can get away with one. The short time you would use the spare (driving to get the tire repaired or replaced), you won't have any issues running it backwards. Its not going to hurt anything the short time you will need it. There are several people out there who do a lot of street driving run ss boggers and mt claws backwards for a while to flatten them back out. Its nice to see the new TTC's have siping and should be a little more road friend (at least in the rain). I was (and still am) debating picking up a set of them now that 4 Wheel Parts hasn't came through yet with my other four boggers. BTW, still no 37's in the new Claw TTC Radials but they are still pretty new and I think they will increase there line coverage.

So, if I blow out a side wall or slice the tread to where it is not able to be repaired I would have to run one backward for a while before saving up the $ for a new one. Also on the trail it would be pretty much useless to run a TTC backward (3 wheel drive). Hence the NEED for ME to have 2 spares. I HAVE had directional tires in the past and 1 spare. Never again.
