Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey everyone,

I'm in need of some new tyres and I'm keen on these new style of mud terrains BFG have bought out. I don't believe all the stuff they are trying to push but I'm hoping they will be reasonably quiet on the highways. Currently I have my second set of MTR's and I can't complain about them at all. They are good on road and off, I get plenty of km's out of them as well. The retailer I spoke to sells a range of brands and didn't push the wranglers cos he had a few tyres come back with problems, although these were in specific sizes mostly smaller or in 15". By they way their for an 80 and I want them in 285/75 16 just like I have on there now.

So I'm hoping for some positive feedback from people that have these tyres.

Thanks

I searched BFG Mud and this is one of many hundreds of results, experiences and opions....try search

the KM2? like the crawler?

Most threads here say they wont be in your size until next year.. only in 17 and 20inch rims

Hi Nutter, I'm familiar with the search function but for some reason, both yesterday and today it won't work for me. can't work out what I'm doing wrong, I just type in tyre and it comes up with no matching posts.
EDIT: Tyre or Mud doesn't come up with anything, but BFG MUDS does...


Hey bogged, I like the KM2 but as you say its not an option for me.

Try TIRE instead
Also try being more specific... BFG MT or Mud Terrain etc

you know what your right about search being funny, if i search for "snow driving vic" on my phone i get the thread about Mt Skene yet on my PC It wont find it at all, I had to email myself the link from my phone last night......is there something funny with the forums search?

how about cooper STT armorteks? see "The UFO" link below for pics of 31's on my zuk...

id like a set of KM2s if i can wait that long

Yea the search function is fawked - has been for months.

ive tried to "search" for a thread that im actually looking at in another window and nothing comes up
even type the exact thread name and nothing comes up

Yea, I've mentioned it a couple of times but hey - if nothing else it means more new threads of old stuff

And the usual answer of 'Search noob' is null and void!

If they've still got those shitty gutter protectors don't bother. You'll be forever picking mud out of the bead.

Reminds me of this:

ive taken mine through the mud plenty of times,
they work well for what they are

Yeh I just went searching for a pic of mud in the bead but found that instead.

Good news is after googling i believe the rim protector doesnt come on all their new KM2 sizes (well, overseas at least).

yeh they got rid of the mud collector in the new series

Well, only problem I've had with mud in the bead on the MTR's was when I aired them down to about 20psi for a better ride and more traction. When i don't air them down I don't have any problems. I don't want to buy internal beadlocks, but is there any other way around it?

I'm suprised that not many people have said anything about this tyre. Is it because the MTR/MTZ/STT's have taken over?

My local tyre shop ask 'More dirt in the bead?' every time I go in there. Which is almost every trip.

BFGs are like Hiluxes. They've been around forever and everyone knows how good they are. When the new competitors come through naturally people start talking about em

I have em on my Sierra and apart from getting dirt in the bead they're great. 10/10 on mud/ruts, 7/10 on the rocks

Well, I dunno where I read it, but it was somewhere on the internet!

Some guy was using silicone or maybe windscreen sealant (more flexible) to help keep the crap out of the bead. Even if it comes out when you high pressure wash the car, its easy and cheap enough to re-do.

it helps,
or when you get the tire shop to balance them, ask for some bead sealant to be used, its like sikaflex sorta

it usually only happens when ive been to the wattos for some reason

everywhere else is fine, just the wattos and a have to get them cleaned out the next day

To be honest if I had to fix something on my vehicle everytime I drove through a puddle I'd get really pissed off and look at spending money on something else.

you could try some maxxis big horn (i have these on my 80 series in 33" and they are a good tyre)
