Got em on the stock work hilux. Drive great on-road, not bad at all offroad (for an AT). They have a deeper tread than the BFG ATs and were a bit cheaper also, and IMO a better tyre.

I'd buy them if I was looking for an AT.

I got them on my GU, 285/75/16. Only done 3000km but they seem pretty quiet on road compared to my old BFG muds. They are good in the wet and went good in the rocks. As good as any A/T I suppose.

But they are still new and I only have BFG muds to compare to. I reckon they look good too!

Tested a set on my company car (06 GU Patrol)..
* travelling up to 1500klm per week ( mainly bitumen)
* towing a tandom car trailor with comp car ( on occasions)
* towing camper trailor, ( on occasions)
* towing motor bike trailor with 2 quads ( on occasions )
* mainly Black top work, but varied to dirt / gravell / & sand-beach
* rotated, ballenced & wheelalighnment every 10,000klm
# found them to be very comfortable, wellmanored & quiet on the road
# they did there job off road,but not as confidently as MTZ.
# performed well on dirt / gravell even when towing the camper or car trailer.
# beach / sand work didnt affect them at all..

* STARTED TO BECOME LOOSE & UNSTUCK ON WET/RAINY CONDITIONS
AROUND THE 95,000 KLM MARK, & I CHANGED THEM @ 110,000 KLM.
I would buy them again as a good 85% road tyre.
** I am now testing M/Thompsan MTZ 33 x 12.5 x 17 on same vechicle under same conditions,with exception of more off road, also testing MTZ tyres on my comp rig, the comparison tests will be interesting

brother using them as stocko's 33's(onroad tyre) uses them in the bush a fair bit cause he is toooooo lazy to but the big tyres on he has had no problems yet. i think they are a good multi purpose tyre. but if u are going to be out in the bush 2 or 3 times a month i would get the MTZ's.
