Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Yes, your favorite clueless wonder just figured out what all of you probably already knew about tires: the number of tread lugs is the same even on some different sizes.
What this means is that a 285 AT tire is more aggressive than a 245 AT tire. I counted the lugs on both a 245 and a 285 BFG At, and BOTH were 40 lug treads (along the sidewall anyway).
You could also tell that the lugs were farther apart on the larger tire by sticking your fingers into the tread. It's a tighter fit on the smaller tires.
Does anyone know if this is true across ALL tire sizes? Would a 315 have the same number of lugs as a 245? Is there a point where the lugs change, like 40 lugs on a 245 and bigger, and maybe 39 on 245 and smaller?
I was looking at saw blades at Lowe's and this came to me. A 60 tooth 12" blade is much more aggressive than a 60 tooth blade on a 7 1/4" circular saw.
If this is the case, then I don't need to run MTRs or BFG MTkm's. I can just go to the 315 size in an AT tire.....
