Thread: Would You Go

[QUOTE=MickG;528973]Just to add more confusion have you considered anything from the Silvertone range? I just fitted 285/65R16 Silverstone M117 Sports and they are heaps better for what I use then for than the BFG muds I ran before.....thicker side wall, more aggresive tread, MUCH MUCH easier to balance making for MUCH better on road handling over the 265/75R16 BFG muds I had before......and......much cheaper. Happy if you want to check them out on my truck before you make any decisions.

Aye, Mick[/QU
yeah will be good to have a look at em,,,,,, will try get to meet thurs night if not will see ya at next one

I have the MTZ Mickey Thompsons on my D3 - a brilliant tyre. Quieter than the Cooper STT, better wet road grip, great offroad. They do wear fairly quickly though.

Cheers,

Gordon

NEVER MIND THE PRICE DIFFERENCE I HAVE READ ALL THE THREADS ABOUT MTR VS MT I HAD MADE UP MY MIND THEN A MATE SAID WHAT ABOUT MTZ....BY THE WAY I WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE MTR..........HAS ANY ONE DRIVEN WITH THE MTZ OR THE PRO
-COMP ON THE BLACK STUFF

I'd go the MTR. I'm still trying to find a good tyre to swap mine out for, but have not found any. They're relatively quiet for that type of tyre, they don't vibrate like a muddie, they have arguably the strongest carcass on the market, they give excellent traction and they wear extremely well. They are also a proven tyre, having been around for the last 5 or so years, and I will still argue are the best compromise tyre on the market for a tourer. The MTZ is still very new although getting very good reviews, much like the Cooper ST did before they all started throwing tread blocks and delaminating, and the Procomps I think are built on an excellent carcass from all accounts, but I thing their tread patterns (apart from the X-terrain) are not the greatest.

Id have to agree was going to get the STT Cooper but after much research and chatting with different tyre companies the Goodyear MTR is the way to go I just ordered 4 265/75/16s get em next week Bring on the MUD
