how far will a zr2 go?
Hello I'm new to this site and hope I'm putting this in the right place. I have recently aquired a 01 zr2 blazer and I am intrested in getting off road. I have been reading through some of the build threads and defintly have a lot of ideas but how far will a stock Zr2 get? If I take it off road will it have no problem or are their some things I should look out?

You should be fine for normal offroading, and you can build from there. The ZR2 is pretty capable on its own, although decent AT or MT tires will go a long ways to helping you keep moving forward. If you have bald tires or regular street tires it's a lot easier to lose traction when you get into the slippery stuff.

I'm partial to Cooper tires. I absolutely love the Zeon LTZ's I have on my Durango. Great traction in every condition I've put them in; from dry or wet highway, to sand to ice and snow. And they look awesome too with a nice agressive tread. I've also heard good things about Hankook too. Everyone will probably give you a different answer, depending on personal experience.
A decent AT tire will give you good off-road capabilities while still performing well on the highway. If you go more agressive with MT style tires you'll get better off-road traction, but you'll probably sacrifice a bit in tire wear and highway comfort. Some MT and AT type tires also perform poorly in the snow because of the large solid tread blocks. Not sure if that would matter to you.
