Best Tyres for off roading?

RSTChris · Apr 20, 2007

Ive got a set of Colways seen here:
eBay.co.uk: FIVE Land Rover Steel wheels with NEW OFF ROAD TYRES (item 190103878254 end time 21-Apr-07 18:49:40 BST)

They arent brilliant but they do the job

Ive also got a brand new set of 5 michellin 16r 7.5s which are kind of like tractor tyres and IMO not the best off road.

Whats everyone else running?

Does anyone want to buy a brand new set of 5 michellins on new white steels? £275? tyres alone were £100 each

Thanks

I've got 265/75/16 BFG mud terrain on my 110. Very impressed with traction and grip. Been in soft mud, stony ground, sand no problems and towing a fairly heavy mower on wet grass with fairly steep slopes without any hint of wheelspin. They were on the landy when I bought it so probably would go for something a bit cheaper when they need replacing.

ps forgot to say they're ok on the road too and not as noisy as I expected.

Everyone is going to recomend you something different.

Personally I run 33'' Khumo KL's and they are great. But they were 130 a tyre.

Maybe a search on this forum might help:

Pretty much every man and his dog on there has a 20k challenge truck so they give good advice when it comes to off road kit.

Most of those boys run Simex, either in 35'' or 36''

I'm currently running on 265/75/16 Bronco Dirt Devils....they have served me well and i'll never understand why they stopped making em....just bought a set of Insa Turbo Special Tracks...(simex copies)..same size for £60 each.

Not fitted em yet but i'm told they are noisy on the road..but i like people to hear me coming..!!

its all about budget and personal experience, its already been said you will have loads of different opinions. it boils down to what you want it for. its no good buyig soft mt's if yer using it daily and going offroading once a month, but then if its an out and out offroadng toy, yer want a set of soft mt's, see what i mean
