Federal , Nankang and Dunlop Mud rovers

[Lawrence]

Anybody has experience with the above tires?

[badger]

nangkang mudstar is basically a maxxis buckshot with a cheaper carcase . very good tyre for the price.
never had much to do with the others tho.

[chops]

nankang/maxxis are exactly the same

always undersized (a "33" is smaller than a goodyear 31

[badger]

chops they are not exactly the same. we have discussed this before.
exactly same tread on different carcase.

ps bulsh1t to the size thing maxxis 35 = 33.4 mtr = 34
maxis 33= 32 mtr = 32.5

I have been running Federal AT351 M/S in 31s for a cuppla years now.....they have done 53000k ....and look to be about half worn ....but they seem to be wearing a bit quicker now than when they were new.
I like them coz they have a strong sidewall...grip well enuff on wet tar ....and really dig in in the dirt ...plus they were about $160 fitted and balanced.
A bit noisy when new but quieten down a tad later....n I would buy them again

Cheers Keith

I have a set of Federal Couragia mud terrains in 285/75R16 on the Patrol. Not as wide as my old BFG in the same size but find them great so far and not too noisy.

At highway pressures in soft sand up at Crescent head they were fine and in the mud around Newnes State Forest were excellent. I have only done around 2000km on them so cannot comment on the wear.

Last months 4wd monthly did a little write up on them.

$200 each fitted you couldn't go wrong.

Cheers
