which tyres ???
Looking for a set of new tyres. Want something with some bite to it. Currently have bfg mud terrains and am almost conviced on a set of mickey thompson claws. Any other ideas from peoples??? I am after a set of 33"s. Originally wanted the maxxis creepy crawlers... but they dont come in a 33". This is a daily driver so want something with good wear. I do alot of rock crawling and a bit of mud. Anyone have ideas or comments ???
thanks.
thanks.

I thick radial claws are CRAP, cRap crAP. No lateral grip, even on fast dirt, don't clean well in the mud at all and are bad on wet asphalt aswell. but they seem ok on dry bitumen and reasonably quiet. but i'd have more faith in a BF muddie than a radial claw both on and off road.
Wanted: Car trailer or beaver tail truck, let me know what you got
I am happy with Radial Claws as they suit my style of driving. There are plenty of very happy and satisfied Claw owners... as there are for BFG, Cooper etc. etc.
Having said that, they don't suit everyone. As I have said in the past.... there is not one tyre out there that suits everyones needs. If you have some mates with a set of Claws on, ask them for a test run. It's the only sure fire way of happiness, try before you buy. This goes with any brand/pattern on the market.
Cheers,
Ryano

from what I have seen, the new BFG wear similar to the MTR, the old BFG with the hard rubber compound wore well but got pretty dicy on road when wet at times, claws fantastic in the mud, lacking in reverse and could be better on side, but ok, reasonable onroad and wear pretty good and also pretty good when worn while offroad, MTR and BFG crap after about 50% wear, old cooper STT wear well, but not as agressive as they could be, new STTS similar trad to MTR and ver good allrounder like the MTR, wear a little similar to MTR if treated right. sumitomo is a well priced mud option, wear ok, as good as the rest, havnt seen performance once worn though
find a tyre you like and buy it, there are more oppinions on tyres than on holden v ford

i found my claws better than bfg muddies off road by far, cleaning, grip etc, and also found that on road grip (wet and dry) and dirt driving were also better, but we all have different opinions and its also been quite some time since ive driven my car, but we wont go into thatcloughy wrote:I thick radial claws are CRAP, cRap crAP.

I am extremely happy with the Claws I have on my ute . They are a good allrounder, heaps better on the road than BFG or MTR in my opinion & great performer offroad. Easiest just to PM ryano with your details & what you want from the tyre & he will point you in the right direction.

i would suggest that this style of post is not quite needed. Have your opinion by all means but do not go over the top.... when the tyres have clearly proven themselves as being good good good.... maybe just a better choice of words....cloughy wrote:I thick radial claws are CRAP, cRap crAP.

my 35 claws handled well, no louder than an mtr... needed approx 5 less lb in sand for that floating feeling and cleaned well particularly against the mtr but i have seen the bfg perform well..
i personally would have the claw again without hesitation

I don't think it's appropriate that you have a sig. line insinuating stuff about mine or anyone else's mother, but i don't care because I'M not the forum police. I aslo feel it's a valid opinion as i,ve driven on or owned quite a few sets of tyres e.g. BF muds, Simex, Claws etc.Bingham wrote:i would suggest that this style of post is not quite needed.

You could also state which Claws you do have Radial or Bias and what else you've owned, as the 2 tyres are very different with very different charecteristics.

I believe it would be better daily driver,and from what I read about them,they as good on rocks as MT/R's and better in mud.
I haven't owned this tyre but am considering as next set.

I wish everyone would clarify between radial and bias, radial should be good for 40 to 50 km with moderate bush work, bias about 30 to 35.ludacris wrote:How many KM's are the Mickey Thompsons getting on road fitted to a GQ Patrol.

cus that sounds a bit fucked if its 30 to 35 a 4B would use that in a full days driving
I have x-terrains on my GU - im happy with them as road tyres and reasonable offroaders, obviously they are not boggers but they seem to have a reputation for good kays, from what I have done, are as good as a muddys in the mud and are good on most surfaces. Im really happy with them after having MTRs (which I reckon the Xterrains are better than in most circumstances) but they are directional. They are expensive but you can get them cheaper if you are in the know and worth the $$$ I reckon as an allterrain/mud terrain type tyre.
apologies rv my bad. ... i shall stop recomending a reputable company that has looked after many of the outers crew with their toys. is clearly a bad thing to do..... i wish i had been recomended their when first on this page as would have save time $$ & effort.... didnt get ontpo them for 12 months...RV wrote:Bingham wrote:i would suggest that this style of post is not quite needed.

I would suggest that you flogging "FOURBYS" every time someone asks about tyres is not needed... And its Moorooka NOT Marooka
i simply meant instead of using such harsh comments something along the line of "i wasnt a big fan of the claws" would be in the better interest of the fourum.... nothing to serious contructive criticism i think it's called my friend........ anyway lets move on.... radials....
mtrs claws coopers
have played with et's played on bfgs and played with bias....
would like to have a crack at creepy's at some stage..... as a good happy medium..... some of the cheapers can do the job also, had hancook muddies yrs back on 4runner which i had no complaints about.....
and it's phippseys mum we speak of just cant use names
