So are they daily driver tires?
You want AT's or MT's
How much do you wanna spend?
is bling important?


What will you be doing most of?
EG 80% road 20% offroad?

Motor way mud teralins...
CHEEP as chips
work well

mine are just a tad small now!
but yeah good!

Can't go wrong with BFG Mud's.

rock an mud id have to say claws or maxxis mudzillas. bit of on/offroad combo.

$180-190 gets you a new Simex MT Centipede. Good allrounder, similar pattern to MT/R's.

If you are in Melbourne and prepared to wait about three months

...... or buy my nearly new ones Actually they are a pretty good tyre for the money and they have a liitle bigger void thatn the MTR for clearing mud but they don't have any side lugging.

I've heard they don't like sideslopes

its about 50/50 road/offroad

im in sydney
thanks guys i will investigate all these tyres and yes bling in one thing to consider but im not going to make my choice on look over function

im not sure if i want mt's or at's doesnt matter but i will be doing mostly mud and rock more than any thing else

cheers

i really like the mtr patern

a good tyre i found in 31/10.5/15 was toyo tranpath mt they only come in a 31 and they look good sim pat to baja claw and procomp x terrain

ive pretty much looking at a set of 31x 10.5 r15 in mt/r's or mongrel does any one know a ball park price of each
cheers
elliot

you can buy retread mud style tyres for about 80 buks. they work well if your on a tight budget

Cheers

Mongrels =
MT/Rs =

Scott

i run goodyear wranglers mt/r .. there real good

mine are 31 / 10.5 15

there on a 7 inch sunnies

only thing is price .... range from 210 if your luck or 245 if you not

also you know there on when your on the hiway not that bad but alittle more than a normal muddy i think

there well know to be used for the rocks and there ok in the mud

you wanna hear a howl run mudzilla's on the hiway

yer i was thinking for the mt/r's about the $200 a tyres price
i was told about $180 for the mongrels but i think thats a bit steep for mongrels considering the 31 inche mongrels are retread's

remoulds. but anyway.
what vehicle are they for?
buy something used perhaps? you may get a good quality name brand 'extreme terrain' tyre for less than a new set of all terrains.

these are for a daihatsu F20

remoulds. but anyway.

31's are retreads as runnin4life said. The 32's and up are monoforms which means new rubber bead to bead so basically new tyre except for carcass which is under guarantee anyway. Plus if you look at the diameter measurements on the site the 32 is a small 32 being just over 31.5" inches. Got mine for $185 each in 32" monoform. I believe MTR's are around the $230 mark in a 31.

he quoted 180 ea so i figured he meant the 32" mono's. my bad.

why dont yew stop pissing around and read some reviews anyway dude. youve been on this board for a while now, and your post count would be awesome..

I paid $159 fitted & balanced for 32" Mongrels.

Brilliant offroad, shithouse on!

Second this! They are cheap 110 ea approx!!!!!!

Or some kuhmo muds, or maxxis buckshots.. they are well priced.

BFG are fairly over priced and apparently have girl like side walls.

bahahah
any ways im pretty sure the mongrels will fit my bill
cheap
and are good on rock and mud (am i correct in saying this)


road doesnt matter to me cus i there is already enough noises in the car so that wont bother me and my car aint the fastest thing out there so i dont think on road will be a problem

cheers
if any oneh as any thing further to add to this discussion please do

hey all bringing this one back from the dead

on the motor way site it states that the 31's have a weight rating of 1000kg's or close to it

is that 1000kg's per tyre or on all 4

if its all 4 tyres that would mean the vehicle could weight 4000kg's

and 1000kg's is 1 tonne correct

I had motorway 'groundhog' MT's, cheap as chips yes, but they wore down to unroadworthy condition in about 8 months , although i do about 4-500k's a week but still didnt get much outta them.

I'm to poor to buy cheap crap

(but they did go great in the mud )
