I have a set of 31"s on my Vitara and they are a bit soft for off road but stick well on road I had no choice with tyres as they were on the 4by when I bought it. They are gettting thinner buy the day.

I have had a set of 31s on my sierra for a coupla years now. I use them for a general purpose tyre as my zook is just for fun and not used as a daily driver. For pure off road I use a set of Bogger TSLs.

Geolander MT Pros:
    6ply side wall and very strong
    Excellent on rocks (soft compound)
    V.Good in Mud- I reckon they have a small edge on the BFG MTs
    Directional so they clear better
    Fair on road, I've been surprised how much grip they have in the wet.
Geolander MT Cons:
    Wear! I'll be lucky to get 18,000 or so out of mine
    Price probably comparable to most better off road tyres but sure they're on the pricy side. $/km is not so flash if that's your main criteria
    Directional meh- not such a big deal, I just use a same size non directional spare
    Noisy on the black stuff, I can't hear them over my engine but my engine is VERY noisy, I'd guess they would be on par with most aggressive tyres


I like them, but all in all there are probably better value choices out there, I may try the Cooper MTs as my next general purpose tyre
If it's already been thought of...
There has to be a better way...

try the toyo tranpath m/t its directional with a pattern similar to the MT Claw hard compound but the lugs flex pretty well and at $185 a tyre for 31x10.5x15 its dirt cheap...oh yeh and they dig in and spit it out like u wouldnt believe
