    MRF tyres.

    Has anyone with a S3 Landy used the 'Supertraction' tyres made by MRF ? I've got them on at the moment and am finding them pretty good so far. Only drawback is that they are a bit slippery in the wet, on wet highway roads, you really need to adjust your driving style to suit them. As usual, try to predict whats happening ahead, getting prepared for that P plater, er, I mean fellow motorist, who has just done something silly up ahead. They aren't bad in the bush either, and am quite happy, they're tough as teeth, and can't see them ever getting a puncture, the side walls are around an inch thick!

    THey sound like the goodyear super tractions, and looking up a photo, they look like them as well.

    You just can't beat tough bush tyres.

    I read somewhere that MRF (not sure which pattern) make some of the toughest (read puncture proof) tyres around. Guys use them on off-track desert work here with great results.

    Was thinking of trying some on my offroad trailer when the current BFGs wear out.

    I have heard they are pretty popular on station vehicles in this part of the world too.
