smokeyoakey Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi All I've just brought a set of All terrain tyres, now a friend has offered me a set of Mud terrain tyres I don't do a mega amount of miles, although the girlfriend has booked a few days at a caravan park at Bideford (Devon) for her birthday in June, (is Bideford ok) Any way what do you chaps think do i stick with what tyres i've got or change. I use my truck, a Isuzu trooper long wheel base 7 seater of road at weekends + couple of times a month lamping. Many Thanks Smokey Oakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Pieman Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) I have mud terrains on my Suzuki. Goes anywhere and has twice towed out a Landrover that got stuck on the farm! The Landrover had all terrain tyres. Best option is to decide what you want to drive over. If its really rough or sticky go for the muds. Cheers PP PS I also occasionally run up to Grimsby in the Suzuki from time to time- once a month. Tyre wear is good and the road noise isn't enough to worry about - just turn the radio up two clicks I got 70 000 miles out of my last set of muds Edited February 26, 2006 by Mr Pieman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Horses for courses. Serious mud pluggers wont get you round a slight bend on tarmac, but will have you up a 40% incline. There is no one tyre that does all, thats how old rooster can go on and on about pulling out brand new landies from mud in his jap pedal car :o We all compromise.

apbuild Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have Goodyear Mud Terrains on my Isuzu and I dont really get a massive amount of road noise from them. They perform well on dry or wet roads and are awesome off road in the mud, or for rock climbing, you let the pressures down to about 20psi. These tyres are really robust. Rob.

al4x Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I've got A/T's on my fourtrack or the paupers equivalent from Colway not a bad tyre till the going gets very bad and on road they are very good. I bought it with a proper set of A/T's on and had the purchase receipt and they did 50K so guess its possible. My ones at the mo have done 15K and hardly look worn at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretmanabu Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 How would a winch be useful if you were stuck in the middle of a field with noone else around? You'd need to attach the winch to something. Genuine question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
