Thread: New Muddies for my P38

Well at least you can feel confident that they won't rub anywhere at that size. BFG's are a great choice - I'm running the BFG TA's on mine - officially their AT type but still pretty chunky. Been very happy with mine so far, first time I've stepped away from Coopers.

Purchased a set of Sivlerstone A/T's a few months back and are Faaaantastic, considering that i went off-roading previously with a set of korean road tyres.

Here are the pics of my new tyres! I'll be taking them offroad this weekend for some dirty shots! And yes - they just scrub the mudflaps in normal height (only just noticeable). They are 255/70/16.

Those front mudflaps are fairly easy to remove - had to on mine or I was going to lose them I'm sure with the 265/70 bfg's I'm running. Yours look great, add a nice aggresive look and I reckon the white wall lettering is schmick

They look great. Are they noisy on road? My Dad has a set of 265/75 16 on his 100 Series and they hum a lot.

By comparison I recently got a set of 245/75 16 Maxxis Bighorns and they are a lot quieter on road. How much were the BFGs?

Yeah if i find they rub under articulation i'll rip off the mudflaps, its only a light scrape for now, i can deal with it!

They are just as noisey as my previous tyres (H/T's), but you notice the noise more with the windows down. Keeping in mind they only have about 40km on them, i'm sure they will quieten up a bit!

No comment on the price (I know people in the tyre industry)!

My tough track tyres are Good Year Wrangler MTR's in 245/75/16
While they are a bit noisy on smooth bitumen, they are tops in mud and stones with very strong walls but not so good in sand, even at lower pressure.(15psi)
On my other wheels I have Toyo open country AT's in 255/65/16. These are very good on road, on gravel and in the wet. Off road they are OK but the sidewalls bulge a bit much for comfort, looking vulnerable for rocks. The reason for 2 sets is so the Wranglers dont wear out too quick driving on bitumen, where they are a bit of a waste. Change over time is about 30 minutes using a small trolley jack.

I like the Goodyear Wrangler MTR's too - very nice tyre! That was my second preference over the BFG's!

I'd love to have two sets of wheels, but at the moment the budget is a bit thin! I might get a set of mags later down the track if I find the M/T's are wearing too quickly though!
