I had a set of Q78-15's on an '82 Toyota w/7" lift. I got 10 yrs out of them, don't know how many miles due too speedometer not recalibrated after tires installed, but I drove it back and forth from Ga. to Camp Lejuene, Nc. every weekend, all over South Carolina and TN. just keep them rotated and aired up, will not lie they are LOUD especially the more broken in they get, but you will not get stuck if you know how to drive. I never needed to by a winch after I put them on.

Old school is the best school. No sneaking up on anyone with these but used properly they will out work, out scream and out class all the new fangeled computer designed stuff. Louder than a Bogger, longer lasting than a BFG Mudder. Great tires. Probably not the best ride over long distances but just keep them hard on the hiway and they'll wear just fine and last "forever". If you want a nice quiet ride ... take the Benz.

I run these on my Samurai. They are impressive. They cut right through the mud and keep me going in my underpowered rig. I have the older Gateways so the center ribs are continuous with out grooves. They clean out really nicely.
In the rocks they perform good as well. I had them aired down you about 3psi and there was not much sidewall bulge. But they rapped around the rocks very nicely. If you get into the sharp rocks yet will chuck up a bit.
They are LOUD as hell. I'm running roughly 31's and they are louder than my friends 35" boggers! Definitely gets out looks on the highway. The tread compound is hard as hell (remember the chunking) and they last FOREVER on my light rig. I've been told that they will last on heavier rigs as well.
These tires came on my rig when I bought it and I'd buy them for it again if they'd ever wear out......

I have a set on a 65 scout. They are the co-op spur grip tires. Same pattern as the ones being reviewed. Farmer's co op stores still carry or can order.
I always heard the co-op mudders were a harder compound than the gumbo monster mudders, but same tread pattern. In other words co-ops last longer on the road. I am on my second set, actually the 3rd set since new on the scout. They will pull steep trails without spinning. In the mud they are still used by mud bog racers over the bogger. They do well on lateral traction on hillsides, which boggers do not. So in short best tire if you want to turn on a hill. It beats everything else out there on rocks, trails and street in a mud tire set up,,,,,,,,,,, besides the bogger which it beats in everything except mud which just depends on your rig. Mine does better than boggers, but heavy vehicles may not.

by far the best tires ever made for offroading !! THIS IS NO BULLSHIT.. I bought 5 new 33x12.5 gateway mudders in 1976 for my toyota landcruiser when i bought it off the lot new, 163,000 miles later they are still holding air and have about a half inch of tread left. THATS 34 YEARS of road and trails !!!! i have boggers on my new mud truck (1978 landcruiser), and they do out perform the gateways for going ahead, but boggers WILL NOT back you out of a mudhole like the gateways will !!! I SWEAR THAT THE OLD MONSTER MUDDERS ARE AND WILL BE THE GREATEST MUD TIRE EVER MADE !!

in 1975 my dad seen a set of gumbows at the louisana state fair and liked the way thay iooked so he ordered four 35 tryed them and liked them. my dad ran a tire shop over hear in east texas so he got hooked up with gateway and stocked 4 of ever size from h/78/15-38/15.5/15. every time a new tire would come out he would try them but allways came back to gumbow. 23 years i was working at a tire shop and had access to all the tires a boy could wount i would try firestones brigstone cooper centinial remmington swomper watever i could get my hands on the most disappointed ive ever ben was with a set of 36/?/16.5 boggers on 10 inch wills i put them on sat. after work sunday after noon i had my QR/78/15 buck shots back on i later lifted my truck more and put a set of 40/17/15 gumbow monster mudders on 14/15 inch whills and havent tried a tire that will go like the old still gumbow or buck shots i now have my dad's 77 sort bed stelpsid chevy with the 40's i got in 97. note thay ben on road very little sence the first of 2000. Ps. i rated it a 9 because in cold wether thay will flat spot but after thay get warmed up there fine. THE TRICK TO BALANCING THESE AND OTHER BIASTED TIRES IS TO DRIVE THEM 5-10 MILES TO WARM THEM BEFORE THE DEALER BALANCES YOUR TIRES. Try it you will have less bounce then taking a cold tire and balancing it.

Also, I recently opened the little grooves to 3/8 wide and now it is like a knobby on a motorcycle. Barnes Tire in Jasper, Tennessee, 423-942-9411 sell them, I bought mine there.

I've used Gateway brand tires since 1977 on Landcruisers, Dodge P/U, and Jeeps as far as I'm concerned they don't make a better offroad tire. I have never had a problem with them.
|
|
Cons:
|
They are loud, but I don't care. What I understand they went backrupt and are not making them at this time. I need a set and I guess they are gone.
|
|
I have used them on just about everything and they are the best, especially in muddy ruts. The lugs on the side that make so much noise grab when you try to climb out of the ruts or need extra traction while in the rut. Watch those thumbs when it grabs the steering wheel is going to spin, drive thumbs out. I used them in the hills of SE Tennessee, swamps of middle and south GA, and the swamps of NE Arkansaw and I've never been showed up by better tires. I understand Coker Tires want to make them, cross your fingers. The set I have now is over 15yrs old and still have tread.

I actually have the Co-op Grip Spur, but I didn't see an option here for that tire. It is virtually the same tire. Mine are an L78-15 built on a bias ply carcass with a "C" load rating. The bias construction has cost me 1-2 mpg, but I have gained a smoother(yet louder) ride compared to the old BFG AT's which came on my 70 K1500. I can also go place I never thought possible with this truck....even with open diffs front and back. These tires excel in loam, clay, mud,rocks, and goo. All the stuff most trails around the Blue Ridge region consist of. I have driven them through boggy slop hole that put water and mud over the top of the wheel wells and they pulled me through with ease. Same with gooey VA clay mixed with pond slime/mud that was hub deep. Chunky sharp granite and shale has not cut them or chunked the tread and the sidewalls are tough as iron. At the time of purchase, I was told that there were only 5 tires left in the east coast inventory beyond my set. I suppose if enough people sent mail/email/calls to the Co-op association, they might see about ordering another run....until that happens, the future looks bleak.

Got them from American tire in Anchorage. Recommend emailing Denman Tire to find your local dealer.

I have used these tire ONLY sinse 1985. I have raced all over the US in S treet Modified Mud bog Racing. I set a SW National Speed record for modified at the El Paso Colliseum in 1991 with Q78-15 radials (bias is better for this) of 3.96 sec. at 200 feet. The tires are what put the 750 horsepower to the grown. I have them even now on my Jeep in 2011. You will NEVER do better than these. Warren Howell/Mud Puppy/Earth Mover.

Called Dunlap and Kyle, Grip Spurs and Buckshots will return "middle next year" to distributors. I called my tire shop (independent) who said they had the molds up and operational in indonesia, but were only testing and that he may be able to get them in a couple of months. My Willys is down till they come in

5 years ago my dad gave me "Big Red" - A 1980 F-150 4x4 shortbed with a 6" lift, 4 speed manual, strait 6-300 with 4:10 gears and locked up at both ends standing on 36" buckshots. Not bad, eh? I just blew out a tire hunting this year, sucks big time but these bad boys made it 30 years. Too bad the blow out couldn't be fixed, I'd give my left lugnut for a replacement. Buckshots were worth their weight in gold!!!

I have my set of Gateway Buckshot Mudders on a '77 Dodge W-150 SB Club-Cab Step/Side with '72 RV 413 c.i. BB, with 75 gals of fuel, 727 Auto, 4" Spring Lift custom rear leafs (More leafs than on a 1-ton). I had Q/78/15's(28")first then I got R/85/15's(36")in 1986 as Blem's $100 each. In '88 a newer Chev-Nova pulled out in front of me at 45 mpr I went over-top of them, did a 180 backwards into a ditch. If my truck had not been lifted and with 36" tires we would have had some fatalitys. This was when I put a Step-Side bed on my Club-Cab truck. They made Radials and in '99 I got 1 as spare a 315/85/R15LT (37"). I've got over 34,200 miles and still have 13/32 of life to go, they are dryrotted and cracking on sidewalls (Bad for towing the Race-Car). I have spent lots of time on all the Web-Sites like Craigslist, E-Bay to find some radials, I might have to change to a 16"-17"-18" rim as all new tires are 12.50's or more wide (The ones that have any height to them) my rims are 8.5" wide. The tire company's give you the taller height but you have a wider tire that will just float on top instead of getting down and biting like the old R/85's do!?

I still remember getting into a rough spot for the first time with these tires. Instead of loading up and spinning, the Jeep shook violently as the tires dug in and pulled hard. The clumps of mud whacked the fenders hard.
Wish I could find some new ones!

I have used buckshots on jeeps and broncos.Now i have a geo tracker and i cant wait to find a set for it.I think the ones i had on the other vehicles are just to big for the tracker.A tracker with buckshots would be unstopable.

Of all the mud tires ever made,these were the Granddaddy of them all. Back in the 70's in Mississippi,If you didn't have these tires you were not a real offroader.From the swamps in the south,the red clay in the middle,and the black gumbo goo in the north,Mississippi has it all.No mudd wheelin' person worth his salt would go nowhere without a set of these tires on their vehicles.4x4's,2 whl drives, heck I even seen them on VW bugs.They were TOO good and that is what caused their downfall into history.R.I.P real mud tires!

On a good truck you will go anywhere. Look mean! Sound mean! And wont dig holes. Great for a lot of conditions.

Cons:

They don't look fancy on a corvette.

I use my truck as a tool. I don't get days off because it rains.
I play with my truck. So when it rains i like to go play in the mud.
I have a 79 - 85 f250ish frankenstine. Has a 300 straight 6, very low geared transmission, and a transfer-case and heavy lock in axles and diff's. Which are worthless if you dig holes and have no traction.
I have had the old co-op grip spur's for years and now the new buckshots. The originals.
The tire treads are non-directional center strips keep the center of the tires from digging. The shoulder lugs bite the mud on the sides and paddle. I have had mud coned 2feet on the rims. I have crawled thru mud up hills and controlled down hills.
On the road. The tires need time to warm up. They need balanced. The more they wear you need to add a bit more weight. If you are looking for a tire on your family SUV or your over compensation truck; and drive on the road 99% of the time. I suggest you get Bridgestone hooks. But if you play often, and off road often and don't use your truck for long family trips. You should buy these tires. They wear good. Rotate often and balance and don't be a drag racer. And put slime in them. They will be the best tire you will ever own and you will be happy with the money well spent.
170$ a tire from yournexttire.com in firth Nebraska
Compared to 250~more for other tires that will dig holes and leave you stuck.
Thats my opinion.
CO-OP started it; and might have gone out of business. But Gateway realized the quality and are trying to keep it alive against companies that constantly try to squash the smaller guys. Especially when they have a better product.

I've ran these tires on everything from a old 1948 willys pickup in a 7.50 16 to now my 97 grand Cherokee and my 93 Toyota in a p78/16 same as a 33 10.50 16..so far they have been unstopable in anything short of trying to use the truck as a submarine. LoL..I saw some people think that since maxis is calling their version of a buckshot mudder the same tire but they don't even compare and never will.the old school buckshots are simply hands down the best mud tire out there and all I will ever use on my off road vehicles... And yes they are still available just google up buckshot wide mudder.they are all over ebay. ? Hope the post helps some of you make up your mind about these tires..try um and you'll likeum..
