What do you want them for?
What sort of driving do you do?

I am guessing by your pic that its mostly victorian driving. In that case the MTZ look good. And all the kids seem to be running them. Also they dont handle to bad on road.

If it's 90% play..... None of the above! Get Swampers
Claws and MTR's are under sized, not sure about the Coopers, the BFG's leak around the rim protector if aired down
Have mates that have been digusted with MTZ's for chiping. That's my experience hope it helps

Thanks guys I never though about swampers, the price is not a matter as i believe that you get what you pay for.
T_Diesel Tha car is just used to go bush for overnite or day trips, i like to go up to Toolangi, Dargo and Dissa so not much sand driving.
Thanks

i agree too that none of the above are suitable. If its a play rig like mine you could not go past the simex's. simexs are still leagal on the road but i think swampers are illegal. i run boggers on the road and have not had any trouble but i still sweat every time a pig passes by and have been passed through some RBTs (very lucky)
