big red toy uses them, he has a set for sale at the moment in the forsale section on outerlimits.
good deal 4 tyres in 33" on 16x8 rims for 800 and plenty of tread left.]
on trips i have been away with him, they worked really well and have a nice looking sidewall.

them so far. Good agressive radial tyre.

I have run the Sports since I tested the first set in Australia over three years ago. They are a good performing radial and are whisper quiet compared with their older cousins the MT117.

how do they compare to a muddie on the road, and say to a simex jt2 off road. I currently have jt1s which are quite good off road, but are a real pain in the arse when you have to drive to the bush!

Quite good but due too the thick sidewall lower pressures on
road is the go i run mine at around 28psi front and rear and
there good. If there pumped up above 32psi your teeth end
up rattling out.

Are these a 2 or 3 ply sidewall?
How are they on-road in the wet, and what are they like on rocks?
Are they noisier than say, BFG muds?
I am considering a set for my 80. Best quote so far is $220each.
cheers

Their 2 ply sidewall but really thick.
On road handling is good. Lower them down to 15 psi and there
good on the rocks. Cut a horizontal line in the centre tread and
they'll be better.
Iwould say there no noiser than a BFG mud.
$220 ea buy them. I payed more than that.
