Cheers.



apparently Xterrains have shit lateral grip, like on an offcamber hill etc, you slide down.


Anyone?


I've heard similar but every tyre is a compromise on one thing or another. I saw some in action at Ateco camp ground on the weekend on a GU towing a car trailer full of tyres up a very slimy grade and turning on a reasonably off camber hill and they looked like they were handling it pretty well. They certainly impressed me with their grip and self cleaning abilities.

Mitcham Tyres were talking about hiring tyres a while ago but I don't know whether they went through with it or not.

The MTR are agreat value tyre, great for touring, but i found the Xterrain a lot better on road and offroad.

MTR are a tad noisy too, compared to all the other tyres I have had, but the are wearing well, were cheap, and make an excellent puncture resistant touring tyre.

Renta Swampa - hmmm has some merit - but I guess the rates would be killer ;)

We are starting rent-a-muddie scheme along with fridges, chains and swags.

Perhaps I need to start a national chain?
