MTR's are great on many surfaces, but mud is not one of them.

Woah there cowboy.. no ropes on me in the weekend

Never really put my MTR's to the test in the mud before the weekend, I was plesantly suprised how well they went.

Sorry Suprasurf - I stand corrected and have obviously confused my rubber (a very dangerous dilemma !). What was the rubber you had difficulties with in the Sheffield mud-plug a few years back (thought they were MTR)?

Actually the rubber was good, the busted CV, the dork that towed me backwards into a tree at full noise :roll:

and the relay that craped out were the probs...

I do admit that this was my first time in mud on the MTR's and I drove em like my old Simexs, nudge up then a little power will make Simex climb, the MTR's need a bit more right foot

I would't go back !!

Hmmm ... seem to have a slightly different recollection of your tyre impression at the time, and Australian 4WD* rated them lowest for mud performance in a 5-way comparison (Centipede, Bogger, Swamper, Claw & Goodyear MTR), but am pleased you have adapted your driving style to compensate; the proof of their ultility in the hands of a master was evident @ the Mak

.

* Australian 4WD, November 2004: ".... the less aggressive tread suffered in this (tyre comparison) company, both in the mud and on the hill climb ... We found that the tread clogs a little too easily in the mud, and its lack of aggressive side-biters and stepped lugs dropped it down a few points too".

By MTR, are we talking Goodyear :?:

If yes, why the hell would you do a 5 way comparison against Centipede, Bogger, Swamper, Claw :shock:

Surely even Australians would know they are more comparable to BFG etc :roll:

I tend to recall the problem at the mak that stopped everyone else was a certain greeny coloured vehicle who followed mike and then proceeded to destroy traction for the others

(by digging big holes).

Correct me if i am wrong

Because with the exception of mud & hillclimb, they not only held their own, but topped the others on rocks.
