-Mongrel- Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Me again! Sorry! I would like some real life reviews of tyres please. I do spend a lot of time on the perms and the Pajero expired end of last year which meant I got away with the van while it was dry! No longer! I bought the Disco after getting stuck a couple of times...too embarrassing, even if the farmer found it funny rather than annoying! Now, the Paj had Grabbers which seemed to do the job, but there are many other (and some cheaper) options. I'm looking for a 50/50 mud biased tyre, when it gets slick it gets deep and slick! What do you use and/or recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland rob Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I use BF Goodrich AT's on my 4x4 and they are fine but when its gets deep and slick the M/T's come out to play, Tall and Narrow is what you want in the mud, Other good all rounders are Grabbers which you have had or Coopers, Non are cheap though, Khumos are another good option but I havnt had them for a few years, Personally I don't think you can beat BF Goodrich, Just my opinion though.

jgguinness Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 BFG AT's on my Disco 300tdi too. Cracking tyres. A bit pricy but last for ages. Mine have been on 3 years and still have stacks of tread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've got a set of 5 BFG 235/70/16 on 5 spoke disco alloys (ugly looking things)if you want something to start off with. Thread depth is11mm6.5mm4.6mm2 x 3.9mm one of which has a slow puncture £120 Got a pic on my phone if you want me to send it to ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks for the offer George but I'll get a full new set on her, didn't spend all I had to play with on the truck so there's cash for tyres and odds n ****.

-Mongrel- Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 So BFG AT's are popular, and seem to be fairly 50/50 orientated but how bad does it need to get before they start to struggle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Mud's are the way I'd go if it's only a shooting wagon. The wear rate on BFG's is very good, think I did about 20k on mine before I sold them on with life still left in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yeah it is, I may have to do a few miles to get to a perm but not along motorways or high speed roads. MT's it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-b Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 we have bfg a/t's on our work hi-lux's and they tend to last between 40-50k so yes at £115 a corner (31/10.5/r15) they still work out great value for money tyre and we have been through all sorts with them on there a great all round tyre!!! you will notice your mpg drop with m/t's and you wont get anywhere near as many miles out of them!! half maybe even less?? but if your not doing any miles a year 3-4k get a cheap set of remould tyres i had insa turbo dakars on my mk3 hilux and at 70 a corner (235/75/r16) they were great tyres i did 10 k on them and only barely half worn!!! just go easy in the wet! it really depends on mileage you intend to do/how much road noise you mind/how much you have to spend a corner?/is fuel econamy a issue???

landy george Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've got Insa turbo Dakar on my Defender as well but mine is set up for off road & if I wreck a tyre off road it don't cost a future to replace. Having said that the wife's Disco has BFG's A/T but it's up to you which way you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
