Post by chops »

anyone know how the goodyear M/Ts go or the BF Goodrich M/Ts go as im looking for a set of M/Ts that wear well on road and work well in the wet brown stuff :D these will be only for off road as will use A/Ts round town

or dose anyone else have a M/T that may meet my needs

what size are you looking at? as i have tryed all sorts over the years and have found the atx 23 degrees firestone good for straight line grip but i have gone for b/s mt on front with the 23s on the back. i have had 2 sets of bfg tyres and have had them go out of shape long before they wear out, mate has mtrs and found them wicked when new but once the edge has gone not very good, keep asking people is the best idea before you buy.ps we are only on mud not much on rocks. cheers

Mate, if they are only for offroad use you should go with something more agressive. Have a look at Simex range.

Like MNC said, go for a set of Simex etc if they are for offroad only.
If you intend to have a second set for offroad but still travel a lot to and from tracks, then I would look at the MTR.
I found they wear faster than the BFG's but are superior on rock.
I've had a good run with mine, and will be replacing them shortly with the same.
