    MTs

    I [was] about to buy a set of BFG MTs for occasional/recreational use, but after some investigating I'm not sure now...

    I've currently got BFG ATs on, and I've noticed that the blocks on the side/outside of the tread wear to buggery, especially if you corner at anything over 3 km/h. They get to the point where the side blocks are almost non existent, and you are left with a tyre that is only useful as a highway terrain.

    So if you were to put on a set of BFG MTs, essentially wouldn't the side blocks wear down in much the same fashion and likewise you'd be left with a fairly useless tyre?

    I'm thinking taking a chance with cooper STTs might be wiser, because if the MTs are anything like there ATs, the BFGs seem a little too soft.

    I run Maxxis Buckshots, and find them fantastic even on the highway. They dont wear out the side blocks.

    I've never had that problem. You may find its a pressure and/or toe problem.

    What tyre pressures are you running?

    And is your diff slightly bent or wheels out of alignment...
    Sure sounds like it...

    Yep, get a wheel alighment. And slow down in corners.

    MT's will wear faster. They also need to be rotated often. Every oil change is a good idear.
