mate, after working on 4x4's for a long time ive learnt to stay away from coopers! never herad a good thing about them from people with them..
What style trye are you after? Highway, All Terrain, Mud Terrain Mickey Thompson have some great tyres at the moment, The ATX and The MTX are Great allround tyres, and the MTZ I run are a very aggressive Mud terain. BFG All terains are a tried and proven tyre and i beleive are being made in the US again after a few years of crap tyres in being made in asia somewhere, |

I found the best value to be KUMO or HANKOOK as they are ok on the bitumen and brilliant on the MOUNTAIN Country, not a great milage performer as the rough terrain I gave them tore them up but great value for money and if you staked one you didn't CRY.
-------------------- I WANNA GO: FISHIN WITH SUMO.

hey fishos and hunters and fellow fourbies, on my 4wd i have basic all terain, which gets me every where i wanna go and then some, my tyres have never got me somewhere i didnt wanna go, if i go on the sand dunes like boat harbour or onto the dunes uop north i decrease the pressure in my tyres , but my mate who owns the patrol, he has 2 sets of tyres , 1 set for every day friving around the city but in his garage are a set of muddies they he can put on if he is heading to the dirt or sand , it only takes 20 mins to change 4 tyres

It all comes down to how much offroading you are going to do..
And then what sort of offroad driving you are going to do.. If Sand, then an allterrain with lowered pressurs is fine, I personally prefer the BFG's and i think if you do alot of offroad is important to stick with quality so you dont wreck them and get caught out on a trip. The bfg's ar the most widly available tyre also. If rock then a good rock tyre compound namly the Goodyear MTR (maximum traction radial, often mistaken to be mud terrains) is a great tyre In the Mud, then Simex Centrepedes are unbeatable!!! However Pro Comp, Mickey Thompson MTZ's and the BFG Muds are good tyres.. Im A big fan of the MTZ's They are a GREAT Mud and rock tyre, with 8 ply sidewalls and have decent on road charactoristics! ![]() You can always step up to IROC's or Swampers or Boggers or Baja's however these are offroad only tyres, designed to be run with beadlocks and at VERY low pressures. |
