    i've had these on my Rangie for 12 months. 265/75 16. Paid $170ea. After about 20,000km they still have 11mm of tread on them (17mm new). Off road they are great except for the lack of side biters. On road there not bad, but not as good as previous BFG M/T. But for the price they are hard too go past.

    Sorry I know nothing about these tyres but I got a set of Nexen MT's for $150 each. Only had the set for a couple of trips but they seem fine to me.

    QUite grippy and air down well.

    Check out this post it has a pic or two of them.
    They will look a bit smaller on mine as they are 15" rims not 16".

    I have these Tyres on my Disco, they are 33x12.5x15, they are really good on the sharp rocky tracks out the back of my place on the South Coast of NSW, they have not chipped or split I've done about 5000klms on them so far, no sign of any wear, OK in the wet, not too noisy on tar, I got mine from a Tyre place on Hume Hwy Chullora in Sydney about 6 months ago for $175 ea fitted and balanced, very happy with them, I will see if I can post some pics here from the Gallery, Regards Frank.

    well its crunch time, i can either go the Nankang or these federal jobs, both for around $150ea, I only use the Fender for trips (15000km per year) so I'm not too worried about longevity, just want something cheap and looks horn, spose if it grips that would be a good thing too. Opinions please.

    Hmmm, don't know enough about either but.....

    Have a friend on straddie with a P38 and he got the nankangs. Done about 10,000k in them, they have not worn excessively, arent overly noisy and seem OK on the road.
    Those federals look alright too though
