G'day all.
Time for new tyres and not sure which way to go....Been runningg BFG A/T 's and not impressed with their choping out and cracking..(2nd set within 25K kms..1st set replaced pro rata by BFG )
I have been looking at the Goodyear MT's or the Dunlop MT2's anyone out there have good / bad tales to tell for either

Seen plenty of goodyear MTR's used on and offroad and they seem to last really well.
Quite a few guys on this site use them.

The first did a 9k km trip through central Oz Simpson etc and then a trip to the Cape total off road distance including club trips about 30k kms. The current set did a Simpson trip and various club trips...looks like someone got to em with a shot gun

having spoken with cameron of billabong 4x4 services (i do contract work with him)...yes the same people who do the driver training and so forth at the billabong diver area at LCMP)...
They have them MT/R's on all the trucks and so on and they get 60,000 average.
Slightly less then the BFG mud's at 70'000.
your choice now

i had a dude in my 4wd club have the same probs!!! and they replaced them for him after they cracked.
i had BFG A/T on my hilux and they were pretty crap, once i got my 80 i fitted BFG muddies and i have not looked back, i had 33's first and now i run 35's and they rock... thats my 2c worth. it all comes down to you at the end as you have to fork the cash over to the tyre man. if your located in sydney i know a really good tyre shop, they are at blakehurst and they are a bob jane franchise, they gave me my 35's for 330 each...
