Goodyear Wrangler MTR's are really good offroad tyres. They aren't too noisy on the road and handle very well. I rate them very highly. I think they are $239 a tyre. The new model is out so they will be trying to flick the older model I would say

Yay, another thread were everyone lists what tires they are running :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like Maxis Buckshot Mudders for good wear rate's on the road and a $199 a tah they good value.

I like Good year MT/R as a good all rounder with outstanding performance for a non competition tyre off the road but they are expensive at over $300 a tah.

I like Federal Couragia's, they are just awesome. To soft for any serious road (need another set of road tyres) use but awesome off road.

Perelli Scorpions M/T are another awesome tyre (need another set of road tyres), to soft for good road milage, but awesome off road.

Best advice is to choose whether you want a MT or an AT or a competition tyre, then buy the cheapest you can :D

They all wear out after all :lol: :lol:

BFG muddies get a consistent good report but you pay $$$ for them. Oh, and they are BFG KM2 now.

Michelin XZLs are hard to beat and are cheaper than the BFGs. Asked a guy who had the Kumho KL71s what he thought of them, his were well used - his response was that they were good enough but if he'd buy them again? No.

You want real muddies? What about Simex's.
