MTZ tyres

[jimbo jones]

any one seen the new MTZ tyre's anybody got a set ?
how good are they

[frp88]

yes twisty toy put them on and he is happy with them i think

[6.5 rangie]

Had a look at them the other day and they felt soft, would be interested in the wear rate, they look awsome though and i wouldn't mind a set for general driving providing they wear good.

[Ryano]

I've got some.
Bingham just put a set on. 305/70R16.

Two of our vehicles, a heavily loaded Patrol ute and an 80 Series just did a Cape Trip with 285/75R16 MTZ fitted.
Was a bit damp for the majority of the trip and the boys came back really impressed with the their performance. Really impressed.

Cheers,
Ryano

[not not]

Hope im impressed as mine go on within the week

Is it just me or do they look like a blend of a baja claw and a cooper st???
I quite like the look of them....hmmmmm....
Ryano, what is the price of these for 33x12.5x15????

[6.5 rangie]

They're closer to the STT but chunkier and tougher looking

Doesn't get alot of use from my observation - but the mud run video suggests his opinion of the MTZ's would be valid.

yea thats some hard core mud there.... BFG AT's wouldnt have handled that at all!

[HotFourOk]

hahaha.. i don't think tyres would matter with that sort of power

[TWISTY]

yeah, that vid was of a real hardcore mud run.....LOL.....was pretty lame, but still enough to blow the f@rken alternator , and yep, that was with the bling 17's on.....It does get used offroad, but just not on much stuff where damage to the rims might happen.....I've got the zook for that kinda sh!t (if it ever gets finished)

As for the MTZ's, I was real happy with how they performed at Rover Park for Battle for States....got 3rd place in the mud drags which had even less mud than the mud run vid above....but they gripped awesome on the redline, drop the clutch in 2nd gear low range launches!!!

As far as the MTZ's being soft, I don't think they are that soft......compared to the new kumho's I had on before them anyway.....

[6.5 rangie]

Haven't seen the Kuhmo's in the flesh to see how soft they are, but i'm really considering the MTZ's. What sort of k's do you think they'll get?

[salli]

Has the MTZ tyre got a 2 ply or 3ply sidewall?

[Ryano]

Depending on how much of a hard time you give them, I'd say 70,000+.

Has the MTZ tyre got a 2 ply or 3ply sidewall?

It has:
Sidewall/ Body -
2 - 1500 denier body plies
1 - 6.5 degree angled body cover ply
Tread section -
2 - Steel belts
1 - Spiral Nylon Overwrap

i must say i got off to a shakey start with them nearly ploughing up the back of a camry 5 mins after leaving fourby's at marooka there....

fresh waxy tires down hill in wett and braking heavy is not a good plan a few groans and moans and the big girl pulled up in time...

but from there found all the mud holes i could at work over last week and havnt even looked like letting go of the muddy stuff........

as for the patern i think theres a hint of krawlers in there if im thinking of the right one...... no matter what a good marketing ploy by mickey t.....

a happy medium for those want the best of both worlds eg some road manners... fresh rubber and balanceing also made the drive more pleasant as was starting to shudder and drone in car and hadnt had a chance to fix.... rubber quiet so far......

drop in and see ryano when ya saved your coin and im sure his sums will keep a smile on your face and the leader of the oposition when you take her to dinner with the money you saved

they look good anyway

my only concern was km's but if i get 60-70 ill be happy- give me a couple of months and i'll give your wear reports...

also they are a little hungry the 305's- trying to eat the front mud flaps! 1 goone already the next in due time

[GUEEY]

I sent hom a PM.

16's are always going to be dearer as they run a higher load carrying capacity and ply rating on them. Much better for puncture resistance and towing.
33x12.50R15 - 1000kg/tyre
305/70R16 - 1320kg/tyre

Looks a little like the bastard love-child of an MT/R and STT.

[spazbot]

just out intrest what are the 36X15.50R20LT and the 37X13.50R18LT worth each or arnt they avail yet

[sasjeep]

ya saw them at the 4wd show. road tyre end of story. At least thats what the guy selling them said. I did'ent mind them. A set of krawalers would work for me, say 37".

Well the MT rep i spoke to there told me that they should be just as good as the radial claws. Stronger sidewall too, with 3 plys as oipposed to the claws 2ply.
