    for an aggressive well priced tyre
    have you considered the federal MT cougaria
    had them on my cruiser for 20000klms before selling the cruiser for my d2.
    handled wet bitumen better than all the cooper i have had, good on road generaly, a little noisy but very good compared too anything close too as aggressive. awsome in the ruff stuff, equally as good on wet rocks as mud. I cant fault them 8 ply rated, the size I had was 285 75 R16, about 33's ( yes I can, they had proved a little difficult to balance on alloy rims, but on steel would be no problem)

    Saw a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATRs on a Cruiser tonight and was not impressed by their appearance, although I'm not sure how much they were worn. Didn't look that tough. Might have a look at some new ones, but I think I'd prefer BFG ATs based on what I saw.

    The new Bf Muds are supposed to be coming out this year in a wider range of sizes. I have been pricing up some MTZ at the moment and if they are anything to go by i can buy 5 new ones, i will just have to sell my D2 to finance them .

    BTW Pro Comp went up 15% today. that takes an Xtreme MT [265/75/16] to $430

    I fitted a set of Mickey Thompson MTZ's in 265 x 75 x 16.

    Very very happy with them.

    Good in snow, mud, rocks & on bitumen both wet & dry.

    Regards

    Chuck

    Smile mate... At least youre not fitting the ones I just got!

    275-70-18s Mickey Thompson MTZs

    5 new tyres, fitted and balanced.....

    Ready for the price?










    Sitting down?








    Grab something to hold onto....










    $2680.00

    But they're a great tyre and I consider it worthwhile...


    But out of your list.. Go the Pirelli..
