mud tyre comparision

[nat p]

Hay all,
Well its time to shell out for a new set ( well another set) of mud tyres for my Rangie.

I'm after 33inch. Its used 60 road 40 mud.


the question is whats everyone else running? and whats everyone else opinions???

THeres a couple of choices, Micky(cant really afford these), Kumho, Silverstone Sports (I'm thinking about these the most)


Theres some super swamps up for sale, which I'm just a little bit concerned about wear, and noise.

thoughts?

BFG MT Km2s - quiet, hardwaring and good in the mud

You can't pass up on the Silverstone Sports assuming they still 20-30% cheaper then the BFGs.

better to pay the extra for the BFG MTs and not have punctures

Really, I was not aware that BFG tyres were any more puncture resistant?
I don't have much experience with tyres so please do explain this in more detail!

Maxxis Bighorn 764's for me.

I'm really happy with then so far.

Micky's MTZ.

Picked up a set of 285/75/16 for $355ech.

Just did 9000k's, NSW Central Coast to Cape York, across to Karumba and home via Central Queensland.

No punctures, chipping or side wall damage.

Started new with 14mm of tread, came home with 13mm on the front 12mm on the rear.

Hey ,
I have MAXXIS Bighorn in 255x85x16's , they are ready for replacement ..So I have been doing the ring around and the best price on the MAXXIS is $365 fitted and Bal ....
BFG M/T KM2 $385 fitted and bal
for the extra $money I will be going BFG

[Grimace]

So you have an options;

MickyT MTZ @ $355

Maxiis Bighorns @ $365

BFG MTs @ $385

or

wait for it

Silverstone Sports at $285... and possibly with the best mud performance of the lot...

I am surprised by that price for the Maxxis. I just picked some 235/85/16s for $250. Different tyre size and state but thats a big difference.
