Wanna know about BFGs? Can't make the search function work?

There are other ways to search.

For instance. Look at the index of General 4x4 Tech. At the top of the first page - always - is __ * THE BIBLE * __ Believe it or not, it's not there as a service for our religious members - it's not the King James Bible, or any other version of the book - it's the Outer Limits 4x4 General 4x4 Tech Bible, and it's actually pretty good.

About half way down the one and only post in THE BIBLE is The book of TYRES: <---- this is a link - you can click it if you wish.

Answers for all your questions regarding makes / sizes / rims / beadlocks etc etc

Within "The book of TYRES" are lists of topics about various brands of tyres - for instance, BFGs

Note that the links, as posted here, are different from the ones posted in the Book of Tyres - as explained in The Bible (for those who take the time to read the bit which comes after READ ME..........), there have been a few modifications to the board over the years, so the URLs have changed. Copy the URL into your address bar, delete everything between ".com/" and "viewtopic" and hit "Go".

There you go - less than 10 minutes of SEARCHING - without using the SEARCH button.

So. Why is "___The Bible___" not maintained, and why have the links not been updated?

Because nobody actually reads the damn thing, and the mods got sick of putting in all that effort for no apparent benefit.

[grimbo]

did you have a read of the current tyre topic threads they have some pretty good up to date info on a variety of different tyres. All are first hand info so that should give you a good insight into different tyres

[icrawl]

pro comp xterrains i had them on my 80 and had simex before them the pro comps shit all over them for wear on the road , road noise , and mud grip and clearance of mud , also could let them down to about 10 to 12 psi in the sticks

probably check out a set of pro comp extreme mud terrains or mickey thompson mtz,z as they work well on everything and are quiet for on road use . or for some thing a bit cheaper look at the maxxis bighorn or
kumho kl71 .

Gidday Hosie,

I answer your question without all of the $HIT that goes along with it. I'll just answer your question honestly with my opinion.

I have a 60 series with Maxxis Mudders on as well, so I can compare tyres. I could also be accused of being biased, as apart from the Maxxis on the 60, I have been running BFG Muddies since 1990.

Anyway -

I have a new set of the BFG KM2 Muddies on the 100. All I can say is "Bloody Hell!". When you drive them on the road, from new they are QUIET! Even in the rain (and we've had a fair bit in Queensland lately) they drive like a road tyre, they are that good in the wet. I thought that the old Muddies weren't too bad in the wet, but these are incredible. On the road I am finding that I have to brake harder towards the end when I pull up behind a car at the lights, it would seem that the rolling resistance of these tyres is far less than the old pattern. This is also shown in the increase in fuel economy that I am getting.

Offroad, when you first look at them you think that they can't be as good as the old pattern. They don't look as agressive. But once you get them offroad and into the dirt and rocks, hang on! They bite and hang on better than ever. The side lugs are bigger, the main tread lugs are not scalloped any more, they are different sizes. The sidewall is stronger with more belts to protect it. They stick like the proverbial to a blanket.

I am wrapped in them. I've only had them a short time, but I am impressed. I don't care that other tyres may be cheaper, my experience is that you only get what you pay for. The Maxxis are great tyres, but compared to the Maxxis Mudders these things are incredible.

BFG (Michelin) are running a promotion from 1 May - 30 June where if you buy a set of four BFGs they will give you a Bushranger Black Max compressor. I bought mine too early to qualify, but I am putting the hard word on my supplier as I bought eight KM2s.

My 0.02 dollars worth.
