Hi,
Do you use mud terrain tyres in your daly drivers? Are them dangerous inroad when it´s wet?
Thanks and regards.

It rained the other day and I took my new Wrangler MTRs out for a run.
Against all expectations they hung to the road like the proverbial to a blanket.Acceleration/ braking/ round corners, everything.
So much better than BFG All Terrains which I've had 2 sets of over the years that aquaplaned easily and required extreme care on greasy tar.
I could break traction easy with my 2.8D motor (all 50kW).
I gave it everything acceleration wise with the mtrs in the wet and couldn't make them spin.

I use Simex muds on road and they are great in the wet. Much better than the Kumho all terrains I had before these.
This is on a Zook.

First car i had had BF AT's and was shithouse in the wet, since then have always had Bf or Wrangler muddies and they both handle much better in the wet. I think the compound is softer so they are more sticky than the at's?

i run my MT's on the road in my zook. with a CIG locker in the rear, it makes it more interesting on roundabouts in the wet

Agree with that, i had a set of ko's and they locked up very easy on wet roads, now my mt's hold on like glue
