sako751sg Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Probably been done to death but wanting recommendations for the best off road tyre. Away to change vehicle and running General Grabbers the now which are pretty good but seeing whats better. In winter i do some pretty challenging runs,mostly muddy conditions but want it to be pretty civilised on tarmac too. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munzy Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 BFGs I would guess M/Ts given what you've said about mud. Expensive but great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1nut Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Bfg would be my first choice with coopers a close second if you want to save a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Cheers fellas. How civilised are the Coopers on road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herby Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Mine grip better than the Dulers it came with (not hard really) not too bad on noise (sounds like a wheel bearing gone) quiter than most. Knock 5MPG off you econemy. I would think they are all about the same. Cheap!! Look really good and would perform as good as any off road.

Davyo Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I found out on a few occasions (usually @ 2am) it's more the driving manner than the tyre.You can have 80% muds,but once your bottomed out your going no where. Plus once the tread if full of mud you just have 4 slick tyres.Full muds just made me over confident.

B391 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Look at Cooper AT3 reviews. I have had very good experience with them on and off road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustaff Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 yokohama geolander mt used them for years brilliant off road and good road manners a little noisey on road so you wont fall asleep on long journeys if on difficult offroad wet terrain lower pressures to 14 psi will crawl out of any where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningDJC Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Had Maxxis mud terrains on my dads old shogun for years. Not bad on the road and loved them off road. Maxxis have now discontinued the model we had which was the buckshot mudder but they are now being sold by nankang called the mudstar m/t and are well priced.

Smokersmith Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've just been through the same exercise to choose some new boots. Previously I'd had GG AT's ... which were good. I've now taken the plunge with some BFG AT KO2's after quite some discussions with folks. Yet to meet anyone who isn't really happy with them and who thought the expense wasn't worth it.

Uilleachan Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I think the general grabber range is hard to beat at their price performance position in the market. You could spend a lot more for better but would you actually need them or uses them for what they were designed regularly enough to justify an extra £100 per corner? Round here there's a lot of 4x4 tyre porn on show, but you don't see them pulling ladened livestock trailers out of soft fields etc. the tractor comes out for that.

Red-dot Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 GG are very thin on sidewall protection in comparison to BFG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I managed to pick my KO2's up for 130 a corner .... needed to shop around to get GG's for that price !! 1st impression is that they're very well mannered on the road.

dazb1967 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Look at Cooper AT3 reviews. I have had very good experience with them on and off road +1 for the Coopers, Got them on my pick up now and on my previous and they are good both on and offroad and can't fault them, Not a bad price either if you shop around.

Tam Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Dave, I run BFG AT's & got 70K out of last ones - new ones won't last that though - had GG's on before but worn @35K I do a lot of road miles & BFG AT's are quiter than grabbers. Thought we were stuck in muddy field with Richard a few years ago at Balbirnie but got out (only 2mm on tyres :( ) Richard said he wouldn't have gone in :yes: Edited October 14, 2017 by Tam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
