Re: what All terrains to go for ?

ive had my cooper st on for 20 000km as well, look really good, bugger all wear, handle really well in the sand and dirt, not to bad in the mud and also handle the black stuff good. so i hope this confuses you more. cheers samo :lol:

Hey Samo do you remember what you paid? I,m getting quotes of between $390 and $402 per tyre fitted and balanced out here at Orange/Bathurst

The Bridgestone D694's are a pretty good compromise in terms of price compared to the coopers and bfg's. I'm getting a set of 4 (265/70R16 LT) for $260 each from Bob J's.

I know you have already got your tyres (or are about to get them) but just for the thread I have Yokohama Geolander 11+ on at the moment (I think the equivalent now is the Geolander A/T-S) and have about 90,000 kms on them so far and at a rough guess should get to 100,000 kms without going beyond the wear bars.Not to bad for a M+S tyre

They perform well in pretty much all conditions having been from one end of the country to the other (Tas to NT) and considering they are not a dedicated mud tyre but I found that tyre pressures are important. Even 5 psi makes a HUGE difference.

As I'm starting to look into new tyres now I may go with what I know or start looking around at other brands

Re: what All terrains to go for ?

Has anyone tried the Mickey Thompson ATZ's ? In 4 rib or 5 rib? They didn't fair too well in the 4WD Action comparo, but they seem to get reasonable reviews elsewhere.
Not an A/T but I'm also keen to know what sort of mileage people are getting out of the Wrangler Kevlar MTR's. They seem to be a good compromise between Muddie and A/T at a reasonable price. I'm just concerned about wear, and whether they get noisier, handle badly, crack, chip etc after a bit of wear.

Ive been running the Mickey ATZ 4 ribs on my 90 series for around 10,000k now
Heaps of traction on the rocks, pretty good through mud too, and great on the beach I reckon
I also drive the car daily so I didnt want anything too noisy, there not quiet but nothing id complain about.

Re: what All terrains to go for ?

I have been looking around at a set of new hoops for the bus, Have been mainly looking at the Mickey Thompson 5 rib, the Wrangler Silent armours and the BFG AT KO's....

So far the mickey thompsons are comming in around $80 dearer per tyre from TJM they quoted $405 fitted and ballanced, and BFG's $329 (with current deal) and Wranglers $340.....

i think i will be giving the BFG's a shot once the toy fund replenishes

Cheers
