New Tyres

Post by T_Diesel »

Needing to get a new set of rubber in the next few months. I have had BFG Mud Terrains for the last two sets and have been pretty happy with them but wouldn't mind a change this time.

I am tossing up between the Cooper STTs and the Mickey Thompson MTZs in a 285x75x16, any thoughts or recomendations on either or both sets of tyres?

Both of these tyres are OK, you'll be happy with either.
If you're up for a 'change' try a slightly different size.
LT 305 70 R 16 ... same height, just a bit wider than
the 285's. Will cost extra $ tho.
Just a thought...Dave.... :D

I just got my MTZ's in the 285 size and so far they are great.

quieter on road than my old muddies.

How wide is a 305 on the old scale? 13.5"?

At the moment I am running 31 x 10.5 x 15 so either way its going be a big move changing to a 16 x 8 rim and a 33" diameter.

305's are actually pretty much 12.5" but in real terms
about 12" mounted on an 8" wheel. They are sposed to
be the metric (16") equivilent to 33 12.5 15...........
