Mat.

Have you seen the new Mickey Thompson MTZ, i am keen on a set of the 305/70s as a daily driver. i think they look F#@ken Hot!!!
look like a Radial Claw on the side with a more traditional mud pattern through the middle and also not directional.

Cheers Grant.

mtr's are my fav all round tyre

good offroad and i never even found a road tyre thats as good onroad...............even in the wet

Both good tyres, but Pro comp Xterrains are supposed to be great roadies.

i just ryano at fourbys marooka to through a set 305 75's on mine gu and do look hot and first impressions are goos and from what i hear while limited testing km's should be ok....... and supprisingly quiet so far on road but can only see how they go...... am doing about 7000 a month so will soon see

Heard from a tyre retailer that the Goodyear MTRs get about 1/2 the miles of the BFG MTR's and are comparable in performance both on and off road, and are less noisy.

Of course, the Goodyears LOOK a whole lot better ...

and ofcourse the wanker u spoke to sold bf's
otherwise hed tell u bf's r shit in the wet dont like corners and wear poorly

ps i am in no way affiliated with goodyear just dislike s#!t tyres sold cos of good marketing

*sits n waits 4 flaming*

I am just about to come off my MTRs with over 100000ks on them (they are absolutly shaged) and are downsizing to 265s for towing reasons and are going for the new MTZs All reports seem to be great on them and there about same price as MTRs and BFGmuds. And i wont have to have my tires balanced on the car all the time like the MTRs.

Couldn't agree more ... take everything that a tire saleman tells you with a grain of salt (or two! ) Supposedly this fellow was a driver for an off road rally team and had used both MTR's and BFG's ... and was giving an experienced opinion - but if not not is saying that he got 100,000km out of his, then real world proof is better than hear-say ...

Just passing on whatever (mis)information I was given.

From my experience so far I don't mind the BFG/MTR's ... they seem to be pretty good ... apart from the odd compression lockup from changing down gears too fast! Have seen the "bad wear" you speak of on a few sets of BF's (AT's & MTR's alike) ... hoping they might have improved slightly on this batch.

my next tyres will be mtz's too.

thanks for all the information..
i was actually tossing up between the goodyear mtr's
and the mickey T mtz's in the first place but i have not heard that much about them, because correct me if i am wrong but not soo long ago they only came out in large sizes and if you could get a good size they were two wide..
but now that they are in a 285/75/16 which i was after i would be interested in them..

Keep in mind with my MTRs i was forever and a day having them balanced on the car Standed balancing was not working to well but after they were done on the car they were great but had to be done quite often.
Cheers Jamie

I could just be really special but I was more then happy with my BFG muddies. They were on 3 different 4wds, used almost every weekend 4wding and I did just under 100000kms on them, not to mention the fact that several of my mates have had 100000kms out of their bfg muddies as well. Yes they did handle rather poorly in the wet, but then they arent on a race car and most muddies do handle poorly in the wet roads (I did say most). I havent had a set of wranglers so I cant comment on them but as for the bfgs I thought they were great. My bfg a/t's at the moment are quite good as well........none of the sets have worn poorly
But I could just be really special though

Aside from that, I really would like a set of those mtz's

35000ks on the 33 bfgs and goin great. they balance up with a bit of weight but thats ussual. About half worn and loosin a bit of grip, but not like ive heard on the site. Any way had a good run out of them and would prob buy them again
