Bfgs VS X-terrains VS Mtrs & 33X12.5 VS 32X11.5

[RASPAS]

Looking 4 new shoes...thinking of bfgs m/t ,P/C X-terrains or wrangler mtrs(32x11.5).
Current ones.. bfgs a/t (31x10.5) on "compomotives dwf 8.5j x15" rims.
I'd LIKED 33X12.5 , but with 4.636dfs & 30.5mm axl.diam. locked am in a dilemma.*ps*NL shorty 28tdi.Any thoughts/suggestions...

I have had many different brands of tyres and I would always still go back to the Bfgs. Just a personal preference as Ive always had a good run out of them. Xterrains and Mtrs certainly push the "mileage" factor on there tyres. You should still get 60,000kms out of any set anyway.

Ill say stick with the BFGs...

NJSWB will say MTRs

Thor will say Xterrains

[Bitsamissin]

Noisey will say X Terrains.......................

I'ts a hard one I'd be leaning towards the X Terrains or MTR's personally both are a very good tyre. The BFG's are a bit long in the tooth and the new compound with the KM versions is softer than the originals so mieage might not be as good.

[Noisey]

Frank is correct.

Noisey say Xterrains.

I can speak 4 the MTR's.A month ago I borrowed a set of these (32x11.5 on 10''rims) from a mate & I've used them 4 a week on & offroad.On the road they r very noisy at any speed over 80km/h (on 170km/h I let go of the steering wheel to hold the dushboard).There is NO rim-guard.I'VE GOT A PAJERO...not a wrangler(huge white letters).BUT no matter what I've mensioned above I am very-very impressed 4 their offroad capabilities!!

BFG's (same dimensions rims+tyres)-checked last week.
"Almost the same" noise effects & offroad capabilities as the MTR's.Standard rim-guard.The new compound with the KM version,
those rubber side-wall's teeth(look nice!but)...I believe after a few tough offroad trips,they'll be cut & 'll become unbalanced,so every now & then u'll have to have them balanced.

I dont know about the X-Terrains.A positive point is that they've got
the rim guard.

WHAT THE F**K AM I GONNA DO?????????????????????????????
33''s OR 32''s ?????????????????????????????????????????????

god damn have to be quick around here!!!
you will always regret not going bigger... if you can fit 33"s, get them. althought this is also dependent on the sort of terrain you drive

I'm currently in Adelaide, having driven down Charleville - Innamincka - Arkaroola - Adelaide. Noise from the MTRs was not a problem - I don't know what people are complaining about. The extra height of the 33's dropped the revs at 100, made cruising on bitumen that little more comfortable and I even saw the best fuel economy I've seen for some time.

The tyres are cut and chipped a little from the sharp stones on some of the tracks, but no other problems. I drove every steep track I saw around Arkaroola, and I didn't notice slip once - although I wimped out and pre-emptively swtiched on the locker for one short climb with an unavoidable hole.

So: Grant was right - I reckon the MTRs are pretty good and I"ll back Thor too - go the 33s, the 2.8 should pull them better than the 3.0 and you shouldn't have clearance problems on an NL.

Cheers,

Scott
