Ladies and gents thought the micky T MTZ's needed a plug after i just been to ryano of fourbys marooka for a swap.
305's on 16's on gu wagon with all having 85 000 kms on them and rears would take another 5000 easy and front 15 ooo making the totals km's as discussed in subject line.... Only swapping to put something on it ready for sale in a couple of weeks and brought 2 good ones home for bru.
Pretty farkn sensational for a muddy.. Ryano tells me i averaged on there computer 4500km a month since getting them.
Anyone got anything near this in a muddy before or whats your best km's
Only prob being the new Coopers ATR's are good they just dont have the same vibe
and note this milage is not running them till belts are showing incase you were wondering

got over 100k out of a set of 31x10.5 15s BFG muds (new style KM but USA made) started on an mq shorty diesel about 5 years ago then transferred to my gq lwb about 2-4mm of tread now. Can't fault them at all, on road handling is fantastic, can push as hard as i like through corners - made gf nearly puke on road between bairnsdale and omeo... excellent in dirt.
Good to hear about MTZs as im considering a set in 265/75 16 mainly for the LT construction and high load rating (strength) as im looking to focus more on outback stuff over the next few years and have been told the new BFGs are made in china and lack strength - theyre also dearer.
Suppose every tyre has good and bad reports tho
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
Mate has nearly 100000km on his 35" (315/75R16 maybe??) BFG muddies, and they still have offroad-appropriate tread on them. Most of those km are highway/country as opposed to around town...

if your talking to me specifically re how many kms off road.Would be near impossible to give a figure. Recently done plenty hiway. am an agricultural rep so huge % of time on farms. allot of hiway of course shite loads of back and beach trails.
even putting a % on it would be hard with allot of hiway kms with work..
dunno sorry

So more touring style than wheeling?
in general yes, few cruiser trips for a play and manar park couple to glass house but not as much wheeling as earlier years etc. have not worked these as hard offroad as previous rubber.
so for arguement sake you did give them more of a hiding i would suspect closer to say 75km which im told a few boys have been getting. still pretty good in any case i suspect..
and to link to previous topics. for half these kms i ran them at 30lb. at 40lb bit to bouncy for my liking for hiway travel

Just tryin to figure out, could happily recommend then as touring tires which it appears as

Ye haw! Another BFG thread which I just love to waffle on about. KM's must be better than K/O's. I nearly got 15,000 out of one before puncturing the side wall. Other five were around the 35 to 40,000 mark before blowing side walls on road, off road, at 15 psi and at 32 psi.
I reckon that me one single bald radial claw must have 1/2 a million klicks on it now. Certainly seems like it. It just keeps going and going.
Has been on me ute for the past four years and has seen all the sidewall blowouts. Now that Ive said that, Murphy walks in, and I'll blow it on me way home from work tonight...

no probs chief, in saying that in terms or "road driving component" the car is run pretty hard day in day out. So they have certainly not been babied at all on or off road.
I am genuinely impressed with these tyres. And am pretty sure the lads with issues re tracking are just running them to high in pressure.
The down side with any money is they did gegt noisey from bout 65 mainly due i think to me being slack with balances and aligns then doing them and them making a racket correcting them selves.
Cheers lads, am off to cruiser park

115000 out of a set of MTRs in a 285/16 on a GQ patrol with a 4.2t locked 4.6 diffs. Even thru in a trip to cape york on them. They wore right to the depth bar on the tire. Only problem was they got very noisey at that stage .
Edit. The 265/16s on the Miss pajero are mtZs and on there avarage at the moment will get about 75/80000. Others i know with MTzs will only get about 40/45000 if there lucky. As they are cut to the crappers and wearing at a very fast rate. But they have done a long desert trip. They did seem to wear fast as soon as they were fitted though. So maybe the batches are diffrent in some way I know i got ours before they were released so they were the very first batch.
bah, if muddies can last that long without blowing sidewalls, you don't go bushbashing enough
had mine on for 1000km's.... already got a 1ply deep cut in the sidewall of one of them...hope it can be vulcanised (now it's a spare)
heaps of cuts in the actual tread also...maybe i should stop driving over sharp rocks, or in dirt bike tracks
my mates got mtz on her car they are all over the place in wet compared to my Bf muddies. Bloody good milage though.
50 thousand km out of my bf muddies and there fucked
Anything is possible, it just comes down to time and money.

I agree, MTZs are best tyre for wet roads. My BFG ATs would give me over steer or under steer when going through a wet round about, now with the MTZs I can drive through a wet round-about at the same speed as if it was dry.
Only swapping to put something on it ready for sale in a couple of weeks and brought 2 good ones home for bru.
