It was 18 months ago that I spent over a week researching what tires I wanted to purchase next for my 1992 Jeep Cherokee. My tires at the time were getting worn and being an avid off roader, I wanted tires that would perform well off road as well as on pavement daily. After coming across an article in an off roading magazine I chose the Dick Cepek Crusher tires. Today, I am still very pleased with the Dick Cepek Crushers on and off road. I purchased the tires through Tirerack.com, 33×12.50×15 was the size I chose.
The numerous times I have been off roading my friends have been impressed with the performance of the tires whether it was through mud, snow, water or dry rocks. Typically I will deflate the tires down to around 15-17 psi. I have noticed the more I deflate the tires the better the traction I get and they tend to clean themselves better. My best friend is usually the one who spots me on the trails and he has been absolutely impressed with the way the tires grasp the rocks as I go over them.
Since I drive my XJ on a daily basis, the tires have held up much better than the previous tires I owned. These are definitely manufactured well to perform as a daily driving tire. While they have gotten noisier, I am very happy with their performance on the road. They look great on my XJ and when it rains or snows I feel comfortable driving.
My hope is that I get at least another year to 18 months out of these tires, though I am planning to purchase another set of Crushers just for daily driving as my current ones have received some premature wear due to faulty shocks. So, if you are in the market for a new set of tires to use for off roading and daily driving, I highly recommend the Dick Cepek Crusher.
