Thread: what 4x4 mut tyres are you using?

I've got el cheapo Goodride MT SL366 on my Terrano. But I run a set A/T's for normal road driving and only use the MT's when going off road or hunting.
So far wearing very well. Happy with their handling on road and off road they work OK for where I take my truck. It's not a bush basher, more of a family shiney, but it gets me to where I need to comfortably.
If on a budget I'd recommend them.
If you can stretch the pocket wide then I'd look at Coopers on the top shelf. Very good tyres. Coopers also do a cheaper range called Hercules that are getting good reviews.

The only issue with my cruiser is the brakes
I guess it's just old technology and a big truck?

Yep pretty much. although stuck pistons in calipers worn diskes etc don't help, just finished working all around my brakes new disks rebuilt calipers which has helped but mine has had a life of no road and everything needed doing.

+1 and not too bad on a wet road also

Running BFG mud terrains on my hilux. Done 82000 kms and still got several thousand kms of wear left hopefully.
Also trialling some Achilles desert hawks on a work truck.

I have some maxxis mudders on my surf 33x12.5x15, not too noisey and have done around 2500kms and still like new, just abit of a vibration when going slow. Bloody good tyres for on and off road.

Just got some ching chong charlie m/t called hiflyer.
Very much like the original hankook m/t pattern
Really pleased with them so far and $200 fitted each!

Mainly fitting hankook rt03 at work , gone away from buckshots
As they tend to chop out quick on shingle
Coopers and bfg are good aswel if u have cash
Hiflys and good rides are good cheap MUDs aswell

i ended up getting some bighorns, talk about break the bank. they guys that did the swap told me they use them and know people that have got 50,000+ from them. sounds good to me!

I've had four sets of BFGs on my trucks, got MTs on my Landrover at the moment and they have done 30,000 km, they need rotating now but should do 70,000 km.

i had some bfg mts on my surf a few years back, they got chewed out pretty quick i thought, were half worn when i got the wagon and replaced em about a year later with next to no tread on them. maybe im just too rough on my gear?

I am the king of rough on my gear, half worn is 3/4 fucked, mine are half worn now @ 45k and I expect to get another 20 before un warrentable but will replace shortly as they are near the end of there life to be any use off road. I am the kind of dick that cant resist lighting up the tires occasionally and that hasn't hurt their life too dramaticly.

If you want good mud(actually all terrain) tires stump up for bfg end of story, everything else turns wet tarseal into ice or is bald before you have filled the tank.

Have to disagree there @veitnamcam. My Hancooks are very good on wet tarseal and I expect easily 70K out of them. Pretty good for $200/corner.

I will admit to not having tried new hankooks, old ones I had were crap as were the old kumhos (tho they lasted, the new kumhos are ok on wet tar just barely but wear like hell!)

I wont say what mine cost but they were very good for wear and grip, though they were AT rather than MT.
