WRITE DOWN YOUR MOST TO LEAST FAVOURITE TREADS
TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE MOST PREFERRED/USED

Post by **dieseldude** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 5:05 pm

OK, I'll start..........

I do touring, adventuring and some playing around the traps on tracks I come across. The tyres which suit me most are:

* Everyday............ 285/75/16 BFG All Terrains on factory 'Snowy' 100 series cruiser rims.

* Exploring............ 7.50 R 16 MRF Super Traction 12 ply's on factory 100 series cruiser split rims.

I seriously rate skinny's for off road work. Each to their own I guess.....

i have run both simex road trekkers and triangle tyres on the road and was happy with both, the triangle seemed to wear strangly

i now run mickey thompson baja claw street/off road and love them, they go fine on the road as long as it isnt wet and awsome off road tyre

This should be a poll.....................

Post by **Slunnie** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 5:37 pm

Allround tyres - Goodyear MTR's best, Michelin 4X4XPC, Cooper STT, Yokohama super diggers, Dunlop roadgrippers (no grip), Cooper ST's (weak lugs that break), Bridgestone D963's (no grip and puctures left right and centre) worst.

rate my best as 285/75 as best on and ofroad for a basic mud but were ridiculusy fast i got 10000k' out of em on my 80's.. and i like the dueler A/T the older ruged desighn as my favorite A't

Post by **HotFourOk** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 5:48 pm

MT/R!

best allround by far

Post by **Wooders** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:03 pm

Don't like:
Goodyear Wrangler GSA - got to be THE worst tyre in history offroad....Yet they are standard fair on TJ's.....
BFG A/T - got a set on 3 rigs right now and each has blown a sidewall....
But the worst of all:
Thornturd

Worthy meats:
Any Swamper (Except ThornTurd),
Simex, Claws etc....
Allroad IMHo the MT/R and the new Cooper STT ar pretty much the pick of the bunch.....

i have ran simex 34" JT2's great tyre awsome on most conditions, and now i run 36" ET2's and they are even better

Post by **Mad Cruiser** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:06 pm

Post by **bastard** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:44 pm

Post by **lay80n** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 7:07 pm

Post by **swamp** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 8:43 pm

My on road tyres are bfg a/t's consistently get 100,000 out of a set
offroad - swampers terrible on road fantastic off it
more than 2 hours of swamper road driving is just too much.

depends on the vehicle, vehicle setup, what it is used for, where it is driven, type of track conditions etc

Sierra: Offroad Firestone SATs best for muddy Vic COnditions followed by Super Swampers.

GQ: BFG MTs have been a great compromise tyre for me, suitable on and off road for the touring, medium 4wding in sand, snow and mud

Post by **Damo1970** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 9:30 am

Best - BFG A/T

Worst - Goodyear Wrangler
Goodyear MTR

Post by **alchemist** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 9:53 am

BFG AT's for touring for sure, get long k's out of them and very reliable tyres.

I like my Maxxis Creepies for serious offroading, they have been good.

Dislike Cooper STT and Wranglers, the STT's the lugs fall off and the Wranglers wash dig on sand too easily and fill up in the mud.

I have used terraTrac just for normal on road & off road they last a long time & are a good price.

I have terraTrac MT's on the mud rat once again very good price but have not put these to the test in serious mud.

u driven on many of them tyres?

Post by **Bingham** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 1:17 pm

personally i would now have for a truck gu that does allot of kms but i still want to run a muddy but one that will give fair wear rates and seems to be doing that.

new copper STT

after that the old RADIAL CLAWS

did no bad on the gq namely as i loved the mud and hence the change from mtrs but of course these are a good thing also.

the ST would have to slot in here somewhere aswell.

Current running STT rear and AT coopers front as was waiting to try the Mickey T MTZ's

so may have to change my thoughts once ryano fits some to my bus.

realistically i should run st's but they just dont have the vibe!

really got to get an updated pic for the avatar... who can i email a pic for them to down size or whatever you have to do to make it fit? pls somewon help!

twice the distance from the centre to one end

Run 34 inch Simex JT'2 off road (but the leading edge of the lugs wears two quickly)

On Road BFG All Terrain.

on road 33 bfg muds
off road 35 mickey thompson claws

Post by **frp88** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 6:58 pm

i loved my mongrels i drove on them as if they were a $400 bias ply and by rotating i have gotten good black top kays.They were only $175 I only destroyed one
1BFG KRAWLER just to much coin $535 for the 35
2BOGGERS because they scream hardcore off road
3SIMEX(the centipede)best mud with high speed as well
4M/T claws you can run them different direction depending on your needs
5GT-RADIALS mud good strong tyre and true sized good value for money
well thats my 5

Post by **mabsydney** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 1:07 pm

love my STTs.

I would be interested in (constructive) comparisons between STT and MTR though as a lot of ppl seem to rate the MTR on here.
