    What sort of rubber Inc?

    We had a guy with us on the weekend with Maxxis Bravo MTs 245/75 on a std disco (did have the rear guards trimmed tho) and they performed very well and he is quite happy with them for $220 per corner

    I would certainly consider them as a replacement for the BFG's when worn out, but that might be a few years down the track

    I know Inc has his tyres now, FWIW, the local piggers and roo shooters run whatever cheapest M/T they can get and these are usually Savero, Kumho or Maxxis.
    "stakes have no respect for a brand" is what one bloke told me, and it's a valid point.

    Hi,
    Does anyone run Michelin X 4x4 7.50R16? I need to replace mine but I have two extras on rims so I don't really want to change to something new.
    I spoke to Michelin and they said the only ones they had were XZL or XPC but not X. The tread pattern looks like neither.
    Any ideas on where I can find some or are they a superseeded tyre?
    Thanks,

    Instead of starting a new thread I will ask here. I am looking at getting a set of Wrangler 235/70/16 to replace the Michelin Synchrone 205/80/16 I currently have on the car. Are the Wranglers any good?

    Also, 2 of the Michelin I have are still fairly good so are for sale.
