Which tyres

mikescuba · Apr 25, 2012

At present I am running on 235x85x16 Trac Edge AT which are coming to the end of their life and will need replacing soon. I am trying to find out what everyone is running on these days.
I need something I can use on the road, snow and trips into the forest where I tow a trailer and collect wood. Very nearly got stuck on wet grass last weekend towing the trailer with sawn up tree trunks.
Does running on mud tyres make that much more noise?
General Grabber AT, write ups say they are good in the snow but I am not so sure how they would preform in mud.
My road use is on French country roads, I might occasionally do a run on the motorway but not often.
Any suggestions other than having two sets of tyres.
Oh, forgot to mention I often go Green laining.

MTs are not too bad on the road, you kind of get used to the drone, i find it very relaxing

Maxxis Buckshot Mudders, excellent on road, brilliant off it and you get a sidewall warranty. Cut one offroad and get 20% to 100% off a replacement depending on how much tread is left over.

I actually think these are better on road than my old BFG AT's

GG AT2, Cooper ST or BF AT's would probably suit your needs best.

The ST is slightly more aggressive than the others.I wouldn't think you need MTs

Toyo open country mud

I use Insa Turbo Rangers. 70%/30% ratio to road/mud use. And being remolds they are dirt cheap. Bought 5 new ones on steel rims for £500 delivered...

Yes they are remolds but as we won't really get up to 100MPH they are not a problem. I use these green laning and off roading and never had a problem. Also used daily on-road without a single hiccup...

Despite being classified as a mud tyre, my khumo KL71s were very good on the road and still held their own off it. I was particularly impressed with how they handled in the snow and ice. They have quite a thin sidewall but I never had any problems with punctures and their wear rate is very good (so long as you check your tracking)

They aren't too pricey either.

I have 265 Goodyear wrangler m+s tyres on my 90.
I've had em for years, bought em second hand anorl.
Great in the snow, fine in mud, brilliant in the wet.
Don't seem to make much noise either.
Think they are quite old now as I cannot find them anywhere new.
I like the white lettering on them
