Looks to me like the choice is between the BFG A/T and the Mud Terrain (KM2)... i've trawled through some photos of previous LR trips and i'd say both look more aggressive when fitted than they do on the BFG website.
Is the noise difference really that much different between the two? Has anyone had both?
The only time i really do any freeway miles is when i'm on a weekend trip... for which i usually need some suitable boots at the destination :rolleyes:
Slight side-track...
Idley googling the G4 defenders (as you do) i notice that a lot of them are fitted with the BFG A/T's...

Good enough for G4, good enough for me!
the Army run them on the new gwagon fleet too, but my last lot let me down
I have never been impressed with the performance of BFG ATs...Quote:

The noise difference is definitely noticeable (I've owned multiple sets of both over the years) but the KM2 has been rated as one of the quietest muddies by one of the mainstream Aussie off road magazines.
They are however pretty susceptible to balance issues if the left right (same axle) pressures aren't spot on and when pumped hard you do sometimes feel the individual "knobs" at slow speeds.
Offer still stands if you can make it to the W4.

Yep, currently hoping to make it up on the Sunday for a spectate. Still dont know (exactly) where it is?
Done too much reading now... read both good and bad about every tyre out there - just need to act!
... mmm, but i havent procrastinated enough about suitable sizes i feel ... :rolleyes:
Anyone care to guess a size for these...

they look larger than stock
Trouble is the original G4 Event 110's used 235/85R16 Goodyear MT/R's.Quote:

:D I am sure the G4 vehicles use whichever tyre manufacturer that will pay the most in sponsorship fees.Quote:

But I have been impressed with their toughness.Quote:
