This definitly isnt the first or last thread on mickey t's being rubbish as that is what they are as far as the radial range goes, who gives a rats if people get big ks out of them if they are crap off road in anything above a medium graded track, they slide sideways, get staked very easily ie. i can park with my sidewall on a stick with my swampers and it just moulds to the stick - do it with a mickey t and its straight through the sidewall straight away.

and eddy i didnt realise this forum was full of bitches who demand threads be locked cause they disagreed with a post, thats what 4wd action forums are for.

Thats so you can skid sideways up to a corner, then power out through it - just like the world rally cars do!! :armsup: :armsup: ;)

This is true, If you are sliding sidewards you just aren't going hard, you need to turn before you get to the corner and give it a boot full. :roll: Some people.

Your comparing a Bias Ply tyre to a Radial. Of course the Bias Ply Swamper is going to be stronger than the radial claw :roll:


Obviously looking at the poll you are in the minority of people that have had issues with them.

Go and start a poll on any other radial tyre you like and i bet you get similar results.

If you are constantly destroying side walls with a radial tyre you either need to learn to drive or buy swampers. Obviously you decided it was easier to buy swampers :finger:
