All Terraine tyre advice

I dont like the BFG A/T's. Had them on 2 cars when purchased and they are crap of road.
I like the Maxxis 753. Good alround and not that noisey on road.
my 2c

Maxxis AT's are ok I won't be running them again though. They are low a mileage tyre, 60k tops. I found them not so great in mud and slippery on wet roads if you lock up like happened to me 9-10 times. I nearly rear ended twice and I was not going fast. I locked them up at 90kph and thankfully the wheels stayed straight but hitting the roo was not pleasent. I now have Federals in an MT but I am looking at only 30-35k out of the set. I am seriously looking at Micky T's as they last ages and from what I can gather have good reviews. If you are after a decent AT, with decent mileage I would consider a Yoko or Toyo the Jap tyres are pretty decent from what I have heard and you will get decent mileage from them. The other AT's taht are receiveing good reviews are the new Bridgstones in a AT. light truck construction. I have spoken to 4WD owners with them and from what they say the Bridgstones are really good on sand. Not sure if you pan that type of use but a bloke told me he only aired down to 18psi and was climbing on sand. My Maxxis I had to go down to 12psi to have any success on Perin Dunes in Tassie.

I'm running bridgestone D697's. Really good tyre. The BFG's definately look better and tougher but they are quite bad onroad in the wet, i didn't like my BFG AT's. The D697's are really good onroad, especially in the wet. They also have a stamp on the side that says "Made in Japan", so the build quality should be up there.

cheers

Been running Maxxis AT's on my GU ute which will need changing in another 5K. Will get 75K out of them at the change (15 months) - have been ok with 90% road use and balance off road (thats whats the CJ for)- will I buy the same agian - probably not but only because of the wide choice out there - as per Jeeps post above I previous ran D697's which were good - also ran Kumos AT's on the TJ a few years back when it was daily driver which seemed OK. Such a choice these days

no one has made mention fo the yokohama Geolanders / Pirelli Scorpian AT's and normally they are a tyre people RAVE about?

personally i have the yoko's and pirelli's and the pirelli's are wearing so much better on & off the road. grip in the wet.. well what wet? we've had floods and around corners and along the straights you wouldn't know it's been raining with the pirelli's on. - yeah okay offroad they aren't the best, the clog really fast and no self cleaning - thier not a mud terrain though so why would they.

as for the yoko's i dont' like them it's personal preference for me, i find them wearing allot 'faster' under the same pressure and the same weights in the car. (vitrually driven the same) - offroad they are probably +side of average i'd rate them above the pirelli's but only just as they don't appear to clog up as much!!!

otherwise i've also had the cooper ST's and they are amazing for longentivity, (you pary for that though) - they lasted alot longer than any other tire i have had, and can withstand a reasonable beating, again though i would rate these above the pirelli / yoko's at they are a bit of a more aggressive AT

good luck and let us know how you get on
