Thread: Tyre Poll...Advice/ Expertise Needed

I have bfg's and they are great off road. I think however on road they are not so great and from reading your posts before I think you'll be doing a lot of on road still so would not suggest them. And I would agree with an erlier comment about terrible in the wet and cornering. I have been known to take different roads if it is wet because of the tyres.

Next I will be going the mickey t's because in my experience they ride nicer on road and still have excellent off road capabilities.

there are more agreessive / better offroad, but nothing beats the xterrain on road etc.

BFG All terrains are good on my Defender. Traversed the Simpson and recently returned from Cape York via the Telegraph with no problems.
Quiet on the bitumen with good fuel economy.

Coopers - ST or STTs.

Got 114,000kms out a set of 285/75/16 STs on a non-LR used as a daily driver and towing motorbikes around the countryside. May have been possible to stretch for another 10-20 thou before being illegal. Changed to a set of 255/85/16 STs to get extra length in footprint when airing down. The second set were superb when driving in sand ruts as did not tend to grab the side and try to climb out of the rut.

Oh how I wish they made an 18" inch size.

Cooper ST 255/85/16 - 90k's on 1st & would have got more if rotated more often.
2nd set well on the same way. Good mix of daily drive & dirt.
Very happy since changing from BFG AT - had 3 sets of those.
