wat tyres

Post by **Matt_88** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:30 pm

ok guys need some help on choice of tyres

Post by **lay80n** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:35 pm

What size you thinking, and what type of driving do you do. From experience the MTR's are excellent on the rock and road, but the BFG's are better in the mud. Tyre choice is a personal thing, best way is to drive on different tyres and decide what you like.

I Have had many sets of BFG MUD TERRAINS.
They are the best allrounder Road, Rock, Mud.
Guys i Know with MTRs Great Road, Rock, Dry weather-Shithouse in Mud
and everyone will find mud on a trip someware even if your not looking for it.
For a small Ks sacrafice you cannot go past a BFG and dont go to low on tyre pressure in the bush 18-25, Fairly soft in the side wall now!

Cheers Grant.

Have you been in an X5 bruce? Traction control is quite impressive offroad. I agree with you on 4wd of the year though, perhaps SUV(i hate that term) of the year would have been more appropriate.

I've been in a twin turbo Porche Cayane. Very impressive. The fastest vehicle I have ever been in. And they take it off road.. :shock:

Still think the BFG's over the MTR's

My BFG's were at about 50% when i got the car and have done a further 25,000km now they are at about 30% so my calcs would give them a tyre life of around 70,000km because i am not going to drive on them much longer. I have given my muddies hell, burnouts, mud, rock and heaps of drifting on the bitumen. I will seriously look at getting them again, whereas not even considering mtr because mtr's are too much of a girls tyre :lol:

----Bring on the flaming

No seriously i would recomend the muddies and give them a big wrap. And yes i do think mtr's have there place on our roads too, but not under my car-too much mud there

I've got the BFG's and there great. But also what tyre's Where on the car that just won the Outback Challenge. BFG's :armsup:

If you take out that doofy "Sex Appeal" score they tied.

How much mud is there in the Brisbane area? I thought it was more dry and rocky terrain.

Ny votes MTR.

The MTRs are not as good in the mud as the muddies, but they're not a great deal behind, and still a heap better than an AT.

radial claw if you are half serious. bingham hated his mtr's and is happy with claws and chris sold his new bfg's and got claws and i swear by them and they will be my road/beach set when i get a replacement set (bingham nabbed mine)

they are so cheap now too that they are well worth the little extra over the other choices

I agree, i run Radial Claws on my wagon they are the best aggresive radial tyre i have owned by miles.

this sost is about claws if i wanted claws i wouldve said that but i dont so no claws. lol but would be gud lol hahhaha

Post by **customhilux** » Thu May 26, 2005 10:38 pm

dude, if i was u i'd go MT/R's.

they are a less noisy on the road,

they love rock, are ok on mud.

and i run mine on 9psi and haven't rolled one off the bead yet.

some one said before they run, bfg's at 18 to ???, thye can't bag at that pressure.

and bfg's have weaker sidewalls, puncture easy.

mt/r's wear sweet on the road to.

yea mate worked for Meneres in Brighton, brought home all sorts of BM's, and even a Mini Cooper (hated it)...

he used to bring one home when they did services on cars down this way, they would drop one off, pick up customer car.. yea very nice and bling bling, but not dogshit offroad.. look at the tires and rims, $1000+ea to start with.. we only did a few of the dirt roads down this way... nothing serious, he wouldnt do it..

i have heard that a muddy/aggressive tires arent real good in sand - is this true? which of the MTR or BFG Muddy would be best for sand - as in beach?

Post by **possum hunter** » Fri May 27, 2005 12:40 am

here here,

come on guys, where's all the mt/r boys

everyone know, mt/r's rule probably a reason they run them in comps in the states and not bfg's

I find it strange how there's usually so many mtr boys, yet they're always for sale here with lots of tread left........
I've got Claws on, and have no intention of selling them till they are useless tread wise.......

At the risk of being the victim of a firestorm, You guys that are complaining about the strenth of BFG sidewalls, do you understand why 16 inch tyres are dearer than 15 tyres? or what the ply number & load rating mean?

Do you realise that the later model BFG's have been literally proven to have weaker side walls than some other brands?
I don't know if they are actually weak, just weaker....

Post by **Bishop** » Sun May 29, 2005 6:41 pm

ive had both M/TRs and BFGs and alough the BFGs were great in the mud they ended up with so many holes in the tread and side walls nothing but trouble. the M/TRs i currently have are great, everything every one has said but total shit in the mud, my next set will be claws
