One of the question marks hanging over the relatively recent Goodyear Wrangler MT/R asymmetric-tread tyres has been how long they'll last. The set on the 4wdNewz Rubicon has now completed 20,000km and they're down to about 60 per cent. Coming off a diet of various versions of BFG Mud Terrains that doesn't seem very good, but it's similar to some other types of mud tyres. The unusual design of the MT/Rs is meant to combine the on-road advantages of an all-terrain with the off-road requirements for a mud tread and, overall, the tyre has met its mandate. In any type of mud, it's probably as good or just about as good as a BFG, but no match in extreme mud for a Simex or Silverstone.
A mate of mine got these - sez there the worst mud tires hes ever had.
ReplyDeleteFair enough, then.
DeleteMaybe I'm missing something, but that tread pattern in the photo doesnt look impressive.
ReplyDeleteI had a set on my Pajero (since sold). contrary to what the other commenters said, they were very good in mud; I'd certainly buy them again if the need arose. They're not cheap, though. The other thing is that their sidewalls are VERY strong, you'd really have to try hard to damage one.
ReplyDeleteThey're an average tire for average driver's
ReplyDeleteIf there not Centerpedes there a waste of time.
