Goodyear Wrangler MT/R or Conti CrossContact AT

[YOLO110]

I am interested in some feedback about the pro's/cons of these 2 offerings on my new 110 please! i.e.: the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R versus the Conti Cross Contact AT. Both tyres seem to offer very good tyre life, so that is not an issue.

I am planning a 'lap' so just want to get the tyre from the get-go that will be best suited to this. I don't intend to do Cape York BTW, but do intend to get a bit off the beaten track as part of the adventure!

Thoughts and experiences with both would be most welcome!

Cheers, Pete

I have the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R. They came with the car. They are a little noisy on road but I have never had 4wd tyres before so it's hard to compare. They seem pretty good off road.

Conti is the only option on the 90.
So that's what we have!
Handled well on Saturday - loose stone and gravel with some residual mud up in the flinders...

Great on road..

Had the MTR before, also good rubber...

I have the Cross Contis and I am very happy with them. Surprisingly quiet on road and the small amount of off road I have done to date they have also been really good. In fact a couple of months ago I went with no problem where a Prado, a land cruiser and a Titan struggled on some muddy wet ground.

Thats a vehicle choice problem,not a tyre choice problem

I've got the Wrangler's on my 110 and my wife has the Conti's on her 90. The Conti's are a lot quieter on road at high speed. The Wrangler's are only an issue if you don't like loud music.

Can't comment on the off-road capability of either tyre yet.

You couldn't give me another set of MT/R's,they have one use only and thats land fill,the Conti's on the other hand,two sets with nary a flat. Pat

MTRs are much more of an off road tyre that the Conti ATs, so its horses for courses.

My opinion is that the MTR has the strongest carcass out there for that type of tyre. The old MTR was the benchmark now equaled by the BFG MT, the new MTR Kevlar is now the bench mark. That said you can puncture anything but I think for reliability, the MTR is where its at. The MTR pattern is also smooth rolling despite what it looks like, even when cornering and travelling slowly. Its more open in pattern so will hook up and gain traction off-road, likewise clear mud, this MTR is designed to clear where the other wasnt. That said, without having used the Conti, I would imagine the Conti is better on the road.

This said, if it has good Conti's on it, then I would just run them.

Happy with the conti , I choose them because I plan to do mostly touring, which means lots of bitumen and good dirt.
They do like to flick stones.
