[LuxyBoy]

So which tyres if you like mud and rock

If you want any sort of handling capability the JT's would not even be on the list.

for a skinny mud tyre the silverstone mt117 extreams are very good tyre my $0.02c

mate of mine in the kno told me last night that beaurepairs chains have a huge sale on mtr's at the moment eg 31x10.5 for under 200 a tyre

so 250 for a 33 sounds possible to me



unless you spend all day every day in mud, or you want the jt's purely cost they make u feel funny in ya special place get the mtr's. they will be 5% less capable in mud and eat the jt's everywhere else .................. especially in price and on the road

i just wanted to hijack this thread to ask the question.

How much are people paying for 35 & 33 mtrs i was quoted for the 35's $330 each
for the 33's i was quoted $315 each.

are these good prices? i was just queering im not actually in the market atm but in 2-3months probably will be

thanx Aaron.

You will need to check WHEN the time comes to buy.
Also you need to know if 15" or 16"

When i approached the goodyear outley here in Canberra the MTR's were more expensive there than anywhere else.
Please explain?

I have no idea why they're pricier at an outlet than at non-goodyear stores.

I ended up buying some 2nd hand 35in MTR's (with very few k's on them) for ~$230. You pays your money...

i was quoted $330 for 35 mtrs in qbn and that was the best $$ i got at the time .

i reakon for an all rounder the claw does a good job not the best on rock but not half bad either not the best in mud but not that bad again , not the best on the road .....you get the point

how long have th mtr's had the side lugs, just out of intrest

[baddboy]

Ive got 35 MTR's, have had them for 6 months and about 10kms. Are a good all around tyre. Got a puncture in one first day out. They are not as good as a BFG muddie in mud, but a good all rounder. Would I buy them again??........50/50 I think.

THe local Goodyear place here was $50 a tire more than others for a 285! and $60 ore for a 315.

I've just replaced my first set of MTR's with another set of MTR's. The originals have done 45k (rotated every 5k) or there-abouts and are not even half worn and have gone onto the trailor so i have matched tyres and rims all around. I'm very happy with the MTR's especially on dirt & gravel roads and corrugations where they really shine. No puntures or needed a balance in the 4 years i had them on although i didn't do any seriously hardcore stuff. I run them at 14psi offroad and 32psi onroad.
